Scottish Gaelic / Gàidhlig

An t-Sìn (noun) = China
Sìneach (noun) / Sìonach (noun) = a Chinese person
sìneach (adj.) = Chinese
Mandairinis (noun) = Mandarin (Chinese)
Sìonais (noun) = Chinese (language)

"SÃneach" for a person, "SÃnis" for the language, "sÃneach" as adjective,
that is if you mean Irish, I don't know about Scottish Gaelic.
