Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, or Irish Gaelic, etc.?

The one most widely used is Welsh, so unless that changes I'd have to go with that. But if if the Scots or Irish ever start a serious "back to Gaelic" movement, maybe there's hope. Who would have thought that Hebrew would ever come back?

It looks like all three languages are very likely to survive. Welsh has the greatest actual number of native speakers to be sure, but there are several linguistically stable (though numerically and geographically marginal) areas where it appears quite likely that Irish and Scottish Gaelic will continue to be spoken into the foreseeable future.

1. Welsh
2. irish Gaelic
3. Scottish Gaelic

Welsh, as it is the most widely spoken Celtic language and there are strong political pressures to ensure it continues to be spoken.

Welsh pretty clearly.
