Elements of Gaelic Grammar: Unlocking the Secrets of Gaelic Grammar: A Scholarly Exploration

by Alexander Stewart

The following book remains to this day, one of the most influential books for understanding grammar in the Gaelic language. It is native to the Gaels of Scotland. As a Goidelic language, Scottish Gaelic, as well as both Irish and Manx, developed out of Old Irish. It became a distinct spoken language sometime in the 13th century in the Middle Irish period, although a common literary language was shared by Gaels in both Ireland and Scotland down to the 16th century. Most of modern Scotland was once Gaelic-speaking, as evidenced especially by Gaelic-language place names.

Picked this up on Kindle for free to have a look, but concluded it was too dry in style for me.
