In Stornoway Gazette Gaelic is being held back by an institutional “cosy-ocracy” stornowaygazette.co.uk/education/gael… 'The core problem with the official framework for Gaelic affairs is that it has pursued this civic promotion without prioritising the societal protection of the vernacular community'

As a volunteer creating opportunities for Gaelic, in one of the area's mentioned in this report. I'm still, after 4 years, excluded from 'development agency discussions'. Facts are in article, the crisis has not gone away, stornowaygazette.co.uk/education/gael…

While restoring £345K fund to protect 29 Gaelic Officer salaries would be a welcome 1st step, it will not in itself reform the fundamental flaw in #Gaelic policy i.e. the prioritising of symbolic concerns over obvious social challenges. Serious efforts at LPP reform are required

Iain Caimbeul in Stornoway Gazette worth a read 'The degree of ineptness in the management of public policy towards safeguarding Gaelic as a “language for all Scotland” is staggering to behold, even to the casual observer of such matters' bit.ly/3vbZYxy #Gaelic #Gaelic Crisis

My story on the future of Gaelic as a living language as 'death blow' gov funding cut served on Bòrd na Gàidhlig . Prediction made in 2020 that language will die out in heartlands within a decade still stands. Misneachd MG ALBA The Scotsman

Minority language protection and promotion: 'MINLPP seeks to protect and promote the normative capacity of the minority language as a dynamic medium of collective interaction, cultural transmission, educational and cognitive maturation, and creative innovation' (pg. 399).
