  • (See also: Scottish Gaelic orthography) There is no standard variety of Scottish Gaelic; although statements below are about all or most dialects, the north-western dialects (Outer Hebrides, Skye and the Northwest Highlands) are discussed more than others as they represent the majority of speakers. Gaelic phonology is characterised by: * a phoneme inventory particularly rich in sonorant coronal phonemes (commonly nine in total) * a contrasting set of palatalised and non-palatalised consonants * strong initial word-stress and vowel reduction in unstressed syllables * The presence of preaspiration of stops in certain contexts * falling intonation in most types of sentences, including questions * lenition and extreme sandhi phenomena Due to the geographic concentration of Gaelic speakers along the western seaboard with its numerous islands, Gaelic dialectologists tend to ascribe each island its own dialect. On the mainland, no clear dialect boundaries have been established to date but the main areas are generally assumed to be Argyllshire, Perthshire, Moidart/Ardnamurchan, Wester Ross and Sutherland.

  • Não existe uma variedade padrão de gaélico escocês; embora as afirmações abaixo sejam sobre todos ou a maioria dos , os dialetos do noroeste (Hébridas Exteriores, Skye e as Terras Altas do Noroeste) são discutidos mais do que outros, pois representam a maioria dos falantes. A fonologia gaélica é caracterizada por: * um inventário de fonemas particularmente rico em sonorantes (comumente nove no total) * um conjunto contrastante de consoantes palatalizadas e não palatalizadas * forte entonação inicial da palavra e redução de vogais em sílabas átonas * A presença de de oclusivas em certos contextos * entonação descendente na maioria dos tipos de frases, incluindo perguntas * lenição e fenômenos extremos de sândi Devido à concentração geográfica de falantes do gaélico ao longo da costa oeste com suas numerosas ilhas, os dialetologistas gaélicos tendem a atribuir a cada ilha seu próprio dialeto. No continente, nenhuma fronteira dialetal clara foi estabelecida até agora, mas as áreas principais são geralmente consideradas como Argyllshire, Perthshire, Moidart/Ardnamurchan, Wester Ross e Sutherland.
