In Canada 725 use Gaelic each day at work.

Wonder how many use it in Scotland? Although, we had that survey conducted so i guess we will se soon.

The Canadian census refers to "Gaelic languages" which would include Irish, Scottish, and even conceivably Manx Gaelic. Still, I'm impressed !

Irish and especially Manx are almost non-existant here (I honestly think I'm the only one here with even basic Manx) so I believe almost all would be SG speakers, probably at St. Francis Xavier University which has a department that functions in Gaelic.

Rant mode on/ Kinda sad that Gaelic has gone from #3 on the list, straight to the bottom below Flemmish, Macedonian and Maltese. MALTESE is higher on the list for ****s sake...MALTESE! From #3 in the 1800s, to #3 000 000 000 today, not much to be impressed about.

Tha aon rud math ri fhaicinn an-sin...cha robh Gaidhlig air liosta 2001 idir, air a char as lugha tha i ann a-nis!

Gaelic was even considered an official language at one point - More than it ever got in Scotland!
