Actually they're two branches of Gaelic: Gáidhlig is Scottish Gaelic, and Gaeilge Irish. Very similar, and I am told mutually understandable, but there are differences too, such as the absence of the present tense in Gáidhlig.

I see, I should have at least spotted that you typed in Scot's Gaelic, that's probably why I didn't recognize any of the words.

Wouldn't that make it difficult to understand things like now, and today?
