Meaning:

• Gadhelic: A branch of the Celtic languages that includes the following modern languages:
  • Irish (Gaeilge)
  • Scottish Gaelic (Gàidhlig)
  • Manx (Gaelg)

Origin:

• The Gadhelic languages are believed to have originated from a common ancestor language known as Proto-Celtic, which was spoken in Western and Central Europe during the Iron Age.
• Proto-Celtic split into two major branches: Goidelic (which evolved into the Gadhelic languages) and Brythonic (which evolved into the Welsh, Cornish, and Breton languages).
• The Goidelic languages are thought to have diverged from Brythonic around the 5th century BC.
