This is an excellent introduction to Gaelic in society. It is well planned and illustrated. the factual content is accurate and relevant. It has very appropraite links to indigenous languages elsewhere and to social theory on minoity language.
Very well written. It will give any enquirer and potential student an exceptionally clear account of the importance of the Gaelic language in history and contemporary society.
Very much to be recommended - 5-star rating
