Читать книгу Collins Scottish Words: A wee guide to the Scottish language - John Abernethy - Страница 12

Indeed it was commonly spoken in the southwest of the country until the sixteenth century. The ancient language is now undergoing something of a revival in Lowland cities, especially in the Glasgow area, where Gaelic-medium schools have been established.
