Influence on other languagesThere are several languages that show Goidelic influence, although they are not Goidelic languages themselves:

• Shelta language is sometimes thought to be a Goidelic language, but is in fact a cant based on Irish and English, with a primarily Irish-based grammar and English-based syntax.

• The Bungee language in Canada is an English dialect spoken by Métis that was influenced by Orkney English, Scots English, Cree, Ojibwe, and Scottish Gaelic.

• Beurla Reagaird is a cant spoken by Scottish travelling folk, which is to a large extent based on Scottish Gaelic.

• English and especially Highland English have numerous words of both Scottish Gaelic and Irish origin.
