Bòrd na Gàidhlig welcomes Highland Council Gaelic Plan decision

31 Dàmhair 2008



Bòrd na Gàidhlig a' cur fàilte air co-dhùnadh Chomhairle na
Gàidhealtachd mu Phlana na Gàidhlig


Chuir Bòrd na Gàidhlig, am buidheann leasachaidh Gàidhlig, fàilte air
co-dhùnadh Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd a dhol air adhart le
planaichean airson soidhnichean dà-chànanach ann an Gàidhlig agus
Beurla an Gallaibh.

Thuirt an Cathraiche Eadar-amail Art MacCarmaig:

"Tha sinn toilichte gun do dhaingnich Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd a
dealas airson Plana na Gàidhlig a bha air a chur air bhog o chionn
ghoirid le aonta a'

Bhòrd. Tha am Plana seo air leth cudromach do fhàs na Gàidhlig air
feadh na Gàidhealtachd.

"Tha sinn toilichte gun do bhòt buill Chomhairle na Gàidhealtachd gu
làidir airson dèanamh cinnteach nach bi lùghdachadh ann an
lìbhrigeadh a' Phlana

Gàidhlig a chaidh aontachadh gus am bi taic aig a' Ghàidhlig anns
gach roinn de sgìre na Comhairle. Tha a' Ghàidhlig na cànan
nàiseanta an Alba agus tha

Bòrd na Gàidhlig airson gum bi an cànan a' soirbheachadh air feadh
Alba gu lèir."

The decision by Highland Council to press on with plans for bilingual
Gaelic and English signs in Caithness has been welcomed by the Gaelic
development agency Bòrd na Gàidhlig.

Interim Chairman Arthur Cormack said:

"We are pleased that Highland Council has reaffirmed its commitment
to its Gaelic Language Plan which was approved by the Bòrd and
recently launched. This Plan is central to the future growth of
Gaelic across the Highlands.

"We are pleased that Highland Council members voted overwhelmingly to
ensure that there is no dimunition in the delivery of its agreed
Gaelic Language Plan which will ensure that Gaelic is supported
across the Council area. Gaelic is a national language of Scotland
and Bòrd na Gàidhlig wants to see the language thrive across the
whole of Scotland."

Glè mhath! Ach tha an stòraidh seo eadar-dhealaichte:

Stòraidh an-seo!

Councillor Hamish Fraser, Isle of Skye, chairman of the Gaelic committee, moved an amendment to Mr Rosie's motion, proposing that the Gaelic plan should be reviewed and that clear guidelines on bilingual signage should be drawn up. He said: "A lot of this stems from people who haven't read the Gaelic plan... We will draw out guidelines which will make it clear to all just what the policy says."

His amendment was passed by 50-12. A review of the council's Gaelic plan will now be undertaken to explain how the signage policy will be implemented – but the council leader, Councillor Michael Foxley, Fort William and Ardnamurchan, said this did not mean there would be no Gaelic signs in Caithness.

Hmm. So, dè tha' tachairt? A bheil sanasan dà-chànanach a' dol suas no chan eil? Tha mi caran

Gaelic Language Plan which will ensure that Gaelic is supported

and Bòrd na Gàidhlig wants to see the language dive across the
whole of Scotland."

A bheil sibh a' creidsinn sin? Chan eil mi cinnteach. Chan eil rud sam bith air tachairt ann am Fìobha - chan eil an Rìoghachd a' taisbeanadh air an liosta no air an liosta glèidhte aig a' Bhòrd. Dè brigh "Alba gu lèir" no "the whole of Scotland"? 'S dòcha gu bheil mòran Fìobhaich ag iarraidh a bhith air leth bho Alba, ach cha do thachair sin fhathast, fad an fhios agam! Nach eil Fìobha`pàirt de dh'Alba? Cuin a bhios BnaG a' faighinn acfhainn gu leòr airson taic a chur den Ghàidhlig "air feadh Alba gu lèir"?

The local plan roll-out is being staged. It started with the areas with the most Gaels, and will finish with the areas with the least -- that means the East Coast.

@Alasdair: Saoilidh mi gum bi na sanasan ann is cha dèan iad ach mìneachadh ciamar a bhios sin a' tachairt.

An e sin a' fhirinn a th' ann? So, 's docha gum bi sanasan Gàidhlig ann an a h-uile àite ann an Alba san àm ri teachd?

'S e, 's e an fhirinn a th' ann. Cha bhi càil sam bith ann am Fìobha ro a chrìochnaicheas mo mhac an sgoil. Tha BnaG a' toiseachadh leis na h-àiteachan far a bheil beagan (no mòran) Gàidhlig a-nis, chan eil iad airson càil sam bith a dhèanamh anns a' Ghalltachd an-dràsta. Chan fhaic sinn sanasan dà-chànanach airson greis ann an Clach Mhanainn no ann am Fìobha. Nuair a thig na planaichean a Chlach Mhanainn, Fìobha is eile, 's dòcha cha bhi airgead gu leòr aig a' Bhòrd airson taic a chur.
