LItir eile a nochd sa Phàipear Bheag:

SURELY THERE IS pleanty of scope for Soillse's academics as they research Gaelic's on-going collapse.
They could for example, research the long-term effects of the bizarre pseudo-Gaelic official documents churned out by, say, Bòrd na Gàidhlig. Then they might care to investigate the impact of puclicly funded "Gaelic" events where the language is not used as a means of communication.
They could investigage whether having so many members of Bòrd na Gàidhlig with vested interests in different funded Gaelic groups is really such a good idea. And whether it might be beneficial to the language if just a tiny amount of grassroots representation and accountability were introduced.
Then they could move on to an assessment of the benefits of non-Gaelic speaking artists-in-residence, and consider plans for a "creative village" development preposterously spun as a "a desperately needed enlargement of the Gaelic Gollege" when in reality there is no intention for the development to be anything other than English-Language.
Come on, Soillse! Let's put the £5.29 million to good use.

A bheil fios aig duine sam bith mu dheidhinn a'' Bhaile Cruthachail ud a tha Niall a-mach air?

Search me guv'nor. (Sin a' Ghàidhlig airson freagairt a chur ris a' cheist "A bheil fios aig duine sam bith mu dheidhinn a'' Bhaile Chruthachail ud a tha Niall a-mach air?") Bha mi a' smaointinn gun robh colonaidh Beurla a chànan glè shoirbheachail san Eilean mar-thà: chan fheum air barrachd!

Nach ann bho chionn fhada a tha iad a' bruidhinn air taigheadas 's coimhearsneachd ùr ann an Slèite?

[Seonaidh]

Uill, sin a chuala mi, ach bha mi a' smaointinn gum b'e taigheadas Gàidhlig a bhiodh ann. 'S dòcha nach eil cus ann aig a bheil an cànan...

Nuair a leugh mi an litir smaoinich mi gun robh e a-mach air rudeigin ceangailte leis an t-SMO. Chuala mi mu dheidhinn fear eile a bh' ann o chionn grunn bhliadhnaichean ach nach deach a-mach a shealladh builleach glan? Saoilidh mi nach e 'material consideration' a th'ann dè a' chànain a bhios daoine a' bruidhinn am broinn taigheadas ùr sam bith nuair a thig gu h-aon agus gu dhà le iarrtas dealbhaidh.

Chan eil mòran fiosrachaidh agam dè tha gu bhith a' tachairt sa Chille Bhig, ach rinn iad rudeigin coltach ri seo ann an Armadail mar-thà. 'S e taighean nach eil ro dhaor a th' annta agus chan fhaigh duine an ceannach ach ma tha e a' fuireach anns an eilean mu thràth. Tha seo an aghaidh daoine gan ceannach mar thaighean samhraidh nach cuir dad ris a' choimhearsnachd. Chaidh mòran dhaoine a' fuireadh ann a tha aig obair sa Cholaiste agus aig a bheil deagh Ghàidhlig.
