Scottish Gaelic Newsgroup wanted.
bbul...@aol.comnospam
I have no idea how to create a newsgroup, but I would like to see an
alt.language.scots-gaelic, or alt.language.scottish.gaelic, or
alt.socts-gaelic, or whatever. Anyone else interested in this who knows
how to create a group? If one already exists I haven't been able to find
it. Perhaps an alt.language.gaelic under alt.language, and then an
alt.language.irish.gaelic and alt.language.scots.gaelic under that. Any
ideas?
Cheers,
Bruce

You could propose a scot.gaelic (which could complement scot.scots) by
posting your idea to scot.newsgroups.discuss and scot.general (as not
every ISP carries s.n.d). See the web pages at http://www.scot.news-
admin.org for more information about the scot.* hierarchy.

Follow up to my original post:
After doing some research, it appears that such a group does exist. It's
called scot.scots. I had seen the group but hadn't realized what it
meant. I'm new to Gaelic so I didn't realize the language was called
"Scots." Unless I'm way off here, but since the description of the group
states "Scots language discussion" I'm assuming that is the same as
Scottish Gaelic. There doesn't appear to be any discussion in the group
yet, so maybe we can get it going. Hope to see you there.
Cheers,
Bruce

Scots is not at all the same as Scottish Gaelic. Scottish Gaelic is a
variation of Irish Gaelic, but Scots is (though people argue this point)
a variation of English.

I see. Thank you for the correction. Apologies for the error. I will go
back to trying to create a group for Scottish Gaelic.

Sorry - scots is what Rabbie Burns wrote Auld Lang Syne in - a relative of
english. Gaelic, in its scottish and irish variants) is another language
altogether. There is a group called soc.culture.gaelic. Don't know how good
it is.

There is now a proposal on scot.newsgroups.discuss to create a Scottish
Gaelic group under the scot. hierarchy. The discussion can also be
followed on scot.general if your server doesn't have
scot.newsgroup.discuss.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Cheers,

If you mean soc.culture.gaelic then the reason it fizzled out is because
it didn't go through the official procedure and as a result is deemed
bogus and isn't widely carried.

Scots is a Germanic language like English
Gaelic is a Celtic language like Irish
There's more info on this in the soc.culture.scottish FAQ, address in my
