Scottish Gaelic ( gd, Gàidhlig ), also known as Scots Gaelic and Gaelic, is a Goidelic language (in the Celtic branch of the Indo-European language family) native to the Gaels of Scotland. As a Goidelic language, Scottish Gaelic, as well as both Irish and Manx, developed out of Old Irish. It became a distinct spoken language sometime in the 13th century in the Middle Irish period, although a common literary language was shared by the Gaels of both Ireland and Scotland until well into the 17th century. Most of modern Scotland was once Gaelic-speaking, as evidenced especially by Gaelic-language place names. In the 2011 census of Scotland, 57,375 people (1.1% of the Scottish population aged over 3 years old) reported being able to speak Gaelic, 1,275 fewer than in 2001.

Diwan (school)
Diwan (pronounced ; "seed" in Breton) is a federation of Breton-medium schools in Brittany. Concept The Diwan concept, which allows children to learn French and Breton through language immersion, was inspired by the '' Gaelscoileanna'' movement in Ireland, the '' Ikastolak'' movement in the Basque Country, and the ''Mudiad Ysgolion Meithrin'' movement in Wales, the '' Calandreta'' schools in Occitania and ''La Bressola'' schools of Northern Catalonia. However, as Diwan educates up to the age of eighteen its schools are more like Welsh-medium education schools in Wales. From ages two to six, Breton is the sole language of instruction. At the age of seven and a half, French is introduced during two out of twenty-six school hours.
