Major funding boost for promotion of Gaelic at University of Aberdeen
The University of Aberdeen is to share in funding of £5.29 million for research into the support and revitalisation of the Gaelic language and culture.

The University is one of four institutions to share in the latest research pooling initiative, which will see more than £900,000 invested in the study and promotion of Gaelic at Aberdeen.

Soillse (pronounced soil-shuh), which is Gaelic for enlightenment, is a research partnership of UHI Millennium Institute (UHIMI) and the Universities of Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow.

To support the project in Aberdeen, the SFC will contribute £242,000, £125,000 will come from other funders, including and Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE), and the University will invest £539,000.

Mark Batho, Chief Executive of SFC said: “Scotland has a rich and colourful history and Gaelic has played a large part in that.

“We feel it is important that the Gaelic language and culture should be encouraged to flourish and develop and I am pleased that we and the partners involved are able to fund research to keep this significant part of the Scottish identity alive.”

Professor Chris Gane, Head of the College of Arts and Social Sciences, said: “The University of Aberdeen is firmly committed to the promotion of Gaelic language.

“Gaelic is integral to Scotland’s history and to the University of Aberdeen, where it is included in our teaching programme, research agenda and engagement with the public, through our popular WORD Festival and other University events.

Ann am facail eile, chan eil maoineachadh a bharrachd a tha seo, mar a bha am Ministear a' ciallachadh, ach airgead bho ShFC, HIE is eile agus bhon oilthigh fhèin (còrr is leth). D`e mu dheidhinn a' £4.39 millean eile: a bheil airgead OGE, Ghlaschu is Dhùin Èideann na airgead ùr gu fìor, no a bheil mac-meanma ann an siud cuideachd?

Seallaidh seo mar chuid briseadh-dùil dhomhsa.

Gur math a thèid le oilthigh sam bith a tha faighinn barrachd airgid airson na Gàidhlig - mas ann mar sin a tha e - airgead a bharrachd? (deagh phuing a Sheonaid)
Saoil an dèan tuilleadh den leithid rannsachaidh feum sam bith do na comhearsnachdan Gàidhlig ge-ta? Chuir nur cuimhne na thuirt Uisdean Mac'illFhinnein bhon Bhord:

"'S e an rud mu dheireadh tha mi a' smaoineachadh a tha a dhìth air saoghal na Gàidhlig 's e rannsachadh, agus mion-sgrùdadh agus co-labhairtean 's a h-uile càil eile. " 04 An Lùnastal, 2009

A bheil e ceart - de ur beachdan a chàirdean?

[Níall Beag]

Why are they researching into what's needed? What's needed is a corpus! Research a corpus! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaase!

[Seonaidh]

Eau Nèill, chan eil fios agam air na tha iad airson rannsachadh! Smathaid nach ionnan airgead ri rannsachadh a dhèanamh sa Ghàidhlig agus airgead ri taic a chur dhan chànan! Dè mu dheidhinn seo: Chan eil stràcan, mar as àbhaist, sa Bheurla - am b' e deagh bheachd a bhiodh ann stad a chur air cleachdadh stràcan sa Ghàidhlig? No cia meud ainglean am b' urrainn seasamh air ceann prìne nam biodh iad a' co-labhart sa Ghàidhig? No ciamar a faodamaid dearbhadh don t-sluagh gun dèan sinn rudeigin math airson na Gàidhlig am feadh 's a bhios an cànan a' bàsachadh tro dhìth taice? Obh, sgaitear mar a th' annamsa...

Leugh mi rudeigin eile air an duilleig ud:

The Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (SFC) is investing £1.866 million, with £2.483 million being invested by the institutions, £0.541 million from Bòrd na Gàidhlig, and £0.4 million from Highlands and Islands Enterprise.

'£0.541 million from Bòrd na Gàidhlig' Saoilidh mi nach bi airgead ùr a th'ann an siud ach dìreach airgead bhon bhuidseat aca?

[Seonaidh]

Smaoin an e am facal ceàrr a th' ann an "investing"? B' fheàrr leam "spending", air sgàth 's nach bi "return" air an airgead idir.

"Ciamar an urrainn dhuinn taic a chur don chànan Gàidhlig?"

"Curaibh stad air rannsachadh a dhèanamh agus curaibh taic do choimhearsnachdan Gàidhlig, m.e. obair, leasachadh, factaraidhean, sgoiltean Gàidhlig, pàipearan Gàidhlig is eile."

Nuair a bhios an rannsachadh deiseil, cha bhi coimhearsnachd Ghàidhlig da lorg.

colbh Bhrian MhicUilleim sa phàipear bheag:

'The announcement of five million odd pounds to research why fewer people are speaking Gaelic has met with a mixed reception which seems hardly surprising.
Gaelic cannot turn up its nose at five million quid and we all understand that public spending is so compartmentalised that dipping into one pot of gold does not mean that the same largessed would be available from any others.
But it's still a lot of money so it occurs to me that maybe a deal can be struck. If Gaelic academics can hand back a few million in change, a way might be found to divert even part of the balance to more obviously useful purposes.'

An uair sin rinn e iomradh air program BBC Alba ' A song of Crotal and White An-Diugh' agus ciamar chaidh a shealltainn do mhuinntir an àite an diugh. Chuir sin nan cuimhne cia mheud daoine a bha sna bailtean ud aig an àm sin an taca ris na laithean seo. Sgrìobh e:

'This revelation should save our academic researchers a great deal of time and trouble. Fewer people speak Gaelic in the language's last heartlands because there are fewer people to speak it. So really, a large part of their research should not be into anything directly to do with language or attitudes towards it. Instead, it should be about why so many people have left.'

Airson(?) an seorsa airgid mar sin, 's urrain dhaibh cuir mòran luchd-ionnsachadh gu SMO, etc
