Re: Invented Languages -- This way lies madness?

Right, Irish is Gaelic -- though Gaelic is not always Irish. I just like the look of the Irish better than the Scots version. (I might have preferred the Manx -- who knows? -- but how to come up with a Manx/English, English/Manx dictionary or a Learn to Speak Manx-Gaelic book was beyond me.)

There is a bit of Breton influence in some of the southern names, and there would have been more, but after a long search on the net all I could come up with was an online word list (very brief) and a Breton/English dictionary (which I bought) so inadequate as to hardly be worth the name.
