Bha tòrr aineòlas ann, ach bha beachdan làidir ann an aghaidh na naysayers. Ach, air sgàth 's gun cur a' phròram fearg mhòr orm, sgrìobh mi litir dhan tè a tha os choinn a' phrògram.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Dear Kaye,&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;As a speaker of the Gaelic language [and 2 others along side English], I  find that your show has proved it’s own point. Out of the whole 40 minutes, more  bad was said about the language than good. Having previously listened to a show  hosted by yourself where the topic of Gaelic has come up, I found the tone  almost exactly the same – there seems to be a large feeling of contempt and  ignorance towards Gaelic, from both yourself and the general Scottish public. As such, I&amp;nbsp;feel it’s important a few things are cleared up:&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- Today in Scotland there are over 100,000 people with a knowledge of  Gaelic – 55% of whom live in the Lowlands [with more than 15,000 in  Greater Glasgow alone].&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- Over 3,600 children are in currently in Gaelic Medium education [a figure  which is, yet again, up on last year]. A further 10,000 learn it as a standalone  subject through the medium of English. Over 1,400 adults are registered with  Ùlpan and it is estimated that over 8,000 adults take short courses every year.  More Universities than before offer Gaelic courses and we now have one fully  bilingual University – UHI.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- By saying, “Gaelic has no word for “helicopter” or “microwave”", this  goes to presume that English has a word for them. Both these words, along with  countless others in English, are from Latin and Greek. Gaelic has taken them  into it’s own orthography in the same way that French [hélicoptère/micro-onde  [micro (micro) + onde (wave)]] and Spanish have [helicóptero/microonda]. For  what it is worth, the Gaelic for helicopter is “heileacoptair” and "microwave is  “meanbh-thonn”.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- We heard the last caller say to the BnaG rep., “It seems that you  obviously didn’t understand. Probably because I was speaking English.” [Therefor  inferring that he was stupid because he speaks Gaelic]. This is a prime case of  where mockery crosses the line. Would the caller have been allowed to say that  to a speaker of Hindi or Polish? The problem here is that because it is said against Gaelic it is seen as  acceptable.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;- The issue of road signs also appears to be a rather major one. It is true  that bilingual signs are replacing [note, replacing] English ones but the idea  that they are being thrown up left, right and centre is ridiculous at best. The  current law regarding road signs is that they be replaced on a regular 10-15  year basis. As you can probably tell by the state of our signs, many are due to  be replaced. When, and only when they get replaced, is a bilingual one put in  it’s place at none to very little extra cost [some companies put the Gaelic on  free of charge in some areas]. Regarding “Gaelic only signs” – these only occur  in areas where over 75% of the population speaks Gaelic as a first language. As  you pointed out, if we were to travel to, say, Italy you would expect the signs  to be in Italian because almost everybody speaks Italian. It is the same for the  Western Isles – as almost everybody can speak or read Gaelic the road signs are  either Gaelic only or with Gaelic first and English second. In areas such as  Caithness, where this issue has gone further than just road signs, the level of  ignorance to the language is ridiculous. “We are Norse”, they all proclaim.  However, it has been almost 300 years since the Norse language of the north  disappeared – Gaelic however is still spoken natively and has it’s own distinct  dialects within the area.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;I could go on and on relaying the misunderstandings that people have about  Gaelic, but I’d be here all day. I just feel that it is important to get across  that Gaelic is not dead or lavished in money or given preference over other  things, it’s just that the Government and educational boards have finally  realised, after more than 140 years, that they owe it to the language to show it  in a positive light. It’s just a shame that our national and local press hasn’t  come to the same conclusions.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Le gach deagh dhùrachd,&lt;br /&gt;Alasdair Crow&lt;br /&gt;Perth&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A bheil beachdan aig duine sam bith eile air a seo?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3464584024726167749-6805706374330494106?l=lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/feeds/6805706374330494106/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2011/07/do-we-take-gaelic-language-seriously.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/6805706374330494106'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/6805706374330494106'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2011/07/do-we-take-gaelic-language-seriously.html' title='Do we take the Gaelic language seriously?'/><author><name>Alasdair Leòdhas Crow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01786604577567654130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BDDKpJGHdtY/Th7o9ZamI4I/AAAAAAAAAxw/baOxyzMVCSU/s220/Adolf%2BCrow.PNG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-0A7nx54awiQ/Th7qIsZpJaI/AAAAAAAAAyM/hliW_XyU84c/s72-c/LnaG_rgb.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464584024726167749.post-8951922717904259431</id><published>2011-05-11T12:38:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2011-05-11T12:38:28.366+01:00</updated><title type='text'>GaelicviaSkype air Facebook agus Twitter</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vJAG1FwOuMU/Tcpy4XzKBNI/AAAAAAAAAo0/YZi_deHOlgk/s1600/398.jm_facebook.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="183" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-vJAG1FwOuMU/Tcpy4XzKBNI/AAAAAAAAAo0/YZi_deHOlgk/s320/398.jm_facebook.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;Tha an "companaidh" agam fhèin niste ri fhaighinn air Facebook agus Twitter.

Tha an console fhathast an aon cumadh agus tha e cha mhòr an aon mheud 's a bha e. An aon rud a tha air atharrachadh 's e 's na sgrionan - tha iad air am fàs nas motha [gun a bhith a' togail a-steach sgrionan an DSiXL]. 'S e 3.5" am meud aig sgrion a' mhullach agus 3.05" am meud aig sgrion na bonn. Cuideachd, tha niste dà chàmara air taobh a-miugh an 3DS - 's iad a bhios a' cruthachadh na dealbhan 3D. A bharrachd air seo, tha càmara eile ann air an taobh a-staigh, tha snàthad-leudachaidh an cois, tha puttan WiFi ann ['son a bhith a' cur WiFi air no dheth aig àm sam bith], tha àite ann son Càirt SD [tha fear 2GB ann mar-thà], tha CirclePad ann agus tha microfòn is àite 'son cluais-fhònaichean ann.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0dzlsB5pzRU/TX95A1z_oqI/AAAAAAAAAoo/F1d9MR2uwfw/s1600/440x330-1200x900_7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-0dzlsB5pzRU/TX95A1z_oqI/AAAAAAAAAoo/F1d9MR2uwfw/s320/440x330-1200x900_7.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Obviously, 's e 3D an rud as ùire, agus as tarraingiche, dhan 3DS. Mar a chìeas sibh, tha slider beag ann - leis a sheo faodaidh sibh buaidh an 3D atharrachadh [no cur dheth uile gu lèir]. Channainn gu robh "Full 3D" cùs aig àmannan is mar sin, bhithinn-sa ag ràdh gu robh e nas fheàrr leis a' slider faisg air a' bhonn. Tha buaidh an 3D ag obair fìor mhath agus 's e rud gu math mì-àbhaisteach a th' ann a bhith a' coimhead air dealbh 3D air sgrion console - mì-àbhaisteach ach anabarrach fhèin math! Mar a bhiodh sibh an dùil, tha geamannan DS ag obair gu ceart air an t-siostam cuideachd, ach chan eil buaidh 3D ann.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4y9s0S8lYII/TX96eQFHgEI/AAAAAAAAAos/jGo-x5n-o2c/s1600/440x330-1200x900_10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="240" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-4y9s0S8lYII/TX96eQFHgEI/AAAAAAAAAos/jGo-x5n-o2c/s320/440x330-1200x900_10.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Tha tòrr bhathair-bòg air an t-siostam mar tha, agus tha mi a' smaoineachadh gu bheil na AR Games fear de na "geamannan" as fheàrr. Anns a' bhogsa, leis an 3DS, bidhibh a' faighinn 6 càirt beaga le dealbhan diofraichte orra. Ma bhios sibh gan cleachdadh leis an geama AR Games tha rudan mìorbhaileach a' tachairt. 'S e geamannan-beaga a th' anns gach càirt agus feumaidh sibh an cuairtealair is accelerometer a chleachdadh gus targaidean a lorg is a bhualadh. 'S e fìor dheagh buaidh 3D a th' anns na geamannan seo agus tha e a' sealltainn dhuibh an neart a th' aig a' chonsole.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q6RAuTemYG4/TX978_vYbnI/AAAAAAAAAow/KbU8H2fbCCU/s1600/2456gg.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="249" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-Q6RAuTemYG4/TX978_vYbnI/AAAAAAAAAow/KbU8H2fbCCU/s320/2456gg.PNG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Uile gu lèir, 's e rud gu math inntinneach is mìorbhaileach a th' anns an Nintendo 3DS - a bhios a' glachadh cridhean nam milltean air feadh an t-saoghail. Ann an Iapan, tha iad air a h-uile console a rèic mar tha agus tha dùil ann gum bidh iad a' dol cho luath sin an seo cuideachd. Tha fear agam air pre-order agus geama 3D cuideachd - Piolt Wings 3DS - agus tha mi air bhioran ma deidhinn.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both;

"Chan eil trioblaid ann le sin", tha sibh ag ràdh? Uill, nuair a tha £1,000,000 am prìs a th' air na soighneachan seo, tha troblaid ann. No a bheil? Tha Gallaraidhean Nàiseanta na h-Alba ag ràdh nach eil iad air Gàidhlig a chleachdadh mar dhòigh chonaltradh idir, seach aon thuras nuair a chur cuideigin litir thuca sa chànan.

An rud a th' ann 's gu bheil esan a' ruith an companaidh Birlinn, a tha a' sgaoileadh a-mach leabhraichean air feadh an t-saoghail, agus tha Birlinn gu math an sàs le litreachas na Gàidhlig... Tha Gàidhlig a' dèanamh airgead dha is mar sin bu chòir dha bhith faiceallach.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;Tha e a' togail puingean gu math inntinneach a thaobh cleachdadh na Gàidhlig eadar luchd-labhairt is dè cho cumanta 's a tha e a bhith a' cleachdadh na Gàidhlig ann an "suidheachaidhean Beurla", mar a th' againn sna Gallaraidhean gu ruige seo. Cha bhi luchd na Gàidhlig air an disadvantageadh mur eil Gàidhlig air soighneachan beaga air sgàth gun urrainn dhaibh uile Beurla a bhruidhinn.

If you divorce, you may now have to pay a fee that will "go towards helping sort child&amp;nbsp;benefits&amp;nbsp;faster". However, later in the same report, they then go on to claim that it will be used as a deterrent for divorce and it will make people take the fine "as the last resort".

Tha e a' gearainn mu shanasan rathaid is sanasan air na rèilean-iarrainn agus&amp;nbsp;is e den bheachd nach eil feum annta idir. An rud as èibhinne 's e 's gu bheil e a' cleachdadh dealbh bho Uibhist gus sealltainn dè cho cumanta agus mì-fheumal 's a tha na sanasan! Emm, 's Uibhist an t-àite as Gaelaiche san t-saoghal, mar sin chan eil sanasan rathaid Ghàidhlig "mì-àbhaisteach" no "gun fheum" - tha cha mhòr a h-uile duine gan tuigsinn! Ach, "&lt;em&gt;Gaelic is a 'national' language – the signs are everywhere. Shame the same cannot be said of its speakers&lt;/em&gt;" - dhìochuimhnich mi am puing seo a bh' aige. Best not tell those 10,000 people in Glasgow...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nan robh esan a' togail dealbh de shanas ann an Learuig no san Eaglais Bhreac far an robh a' Ghàidhlig a' leum a-mach, bhithinn-sa a' gabhal ris. Ach, air sgàth gur e fìor amadan a th' ann, chleachd e an dealbh ceàrr gus a argumaid neartachadh.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cuideachd, tha e a' gearain mu na cànain sna ceadan-siubhal a th' againn a-nise: chan eil àite ann dhan a' Ghàidhlig no Cuimris, bhiodh Fraingis na b'fheàrr [agus tha e feargach air sgàth nach eil e ann a-nis!]. Cho fad 's a tha fhios 'am, chan e stait Fhrangach a th' annainn agus chan eil Fraingis na chànan Bhreatainneach. Uill, 's dòcha anns an 11mh linn!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;We all know people can be silly from time to time, but Ian J&amp;nbsp; [what an awfully Gaelic name...] takes it too far this time. "Gaelic is everywhere", he proclaims in horror - while showing us a photo taken on Uist, the most Gaelic place in the world! Call me when Gaelic takes over London and I might start to worry...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img height="57" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G_FUp8HPoUA/TQpk7C8ssrI/AAAAAAAAAmo/GYl2WaMysTI/s320/Gaelic-English-signposts--006.jpg" style="filter: alpha(opacity=30); left: 320px; mozopacity: 0.3; opacity: 0.3; position: absolute; top: 88px; visibility: hidden;" width="96" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3464584024726167749-1349435962392642266?l=lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/feeds/1349435962392642266/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2010/12/bronach-gu-bheil-gaidhlig-fhathast-ann.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/1349435962392642266'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/1349435962392642266'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2010/12/bronach-gu-bheil-gaidhlig-fhathast-ann.html' title='Bronach gu bheil Gàidhlig fhathast ann an Alba?'/><author><name>Alasdair Leòdhas Crow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01786604577567654130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BDDKpJGHdtY/Th7o9ZamI4I/AAAAAAAAAxw/baOxyzMVCSU/s220/Adolf%2BCrow.PNG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_G_FUp8HPoUA/TQpk7C8ssrI/AAAAAAAAAmo/GYl2WaMysTI/s72-c/Gaelic-English-signposts--006.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464584024726167749.post-1700945505963611422</id><published>2010-12-16T18:59:00.006Z</published><updated>2010-12-20T14:36:51.672Z</updated><title type='text'>UHI a' tionndadh Gàidhlig?</title><content type='html'>&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;/p$1&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G_FUp8HPoUA/TQpeYFapoNI/AAAAAAAAAmk/iPPaZiH9eVk/s1600/220px-UHI_logo_gaelic.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" n4="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_G_FUp8HPoUA/TQpeYFapoNI/AAAAAAAAAmk/iPPaZiH9eVk/s1600/220px-UHI_logo_gaelic.png" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p$1&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: &amp;quot;Arial&amp;quot;, &amp;quot;Helvetica&amp;quot;, sans-serif;"&gt;An seachdain seo, chunna sinn na planaichean a th' aig OGE, no UHI, a' tighinn gu follais.

Cuideachd, tha Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd ag ràdh gu bheil pàrantan ann an Druim na Drochaid ag iarraidh ionad Gàidhlig aig Bun-sgoil Ghlinn Urchadain. Tha Comhairle na Gàidhealtachd ag ràdh gum bi iad feumach air dà sheòmar-teagaisg ùra is roinn-cluich' ùr 'son rùm gu leòr a chruthachadh.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: x-small;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: inherit;"&gt;Cornish signage coming to Cornwall?

Ach son siud a dhèanamh bidh feum aig na stèiseanan rèidio a bhith air an cuir dheth cho fad 's a tha BBC Alba a' craoladh [5-1130f gach latha]. Mar seo, tha taghadh ann: BBC Alba gach latha 5-1130f no na stèiseanan rèidio [bidh iad fhathast ann nuair nach eil BBC Alba air]?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Seo rud beag facts&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;BBC Management believes there is a strong RQIV case for DTT distribution of BBC ALBA. We estimate that DTT distribution would increase reach by a further 150,000-180,000 individuals in Scotland, generating an additional 250,000 viewing hours, by the end of Scottish DSO (mid-2011).&lt;br /&gt;Bi mu 220,000 duine a' coimhead BBC Alba - 5% de shluagh na h-Alba. Air a chur còmhla ris na prògraman Gàidhlig air BBC 2, tha luchd-amhairc de 860,000 duine ann - 21% de shluagh na h-Alba.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Basically, the BBC Trust are now reviewing BBC Alba for carriage on Freeview [530-1130pm each day]. It would be great if you could fill out the form attached to this blog and tell the BBC your views. However, for BBC Alba to be shown on Freeview the national radio stations will need to turned off during its broadcasting times [Scotland only]. However, these radio stations are availble in no less than &lt;strong&gt;eight&lt;/strong&gt; other formats.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;Here are a few facts&lt;/em&gt;:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;BBC Alba could gain a potential 150,000-180,000 extra viewers and an extra 250,000 viewing hours from this move.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Around 220,000 (5%) people in Scotland watch BBC Alba already with it being available to only 33% of people in Scotland. When put together with the 2 hour weekly slot on BBC Two, 860,000 (21%) of people in Scotland watch Gaelic TV shows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3464584024726167749-555230228762451731?l=lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/feeds/555230228762451731/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2009/10/cuidich-bbc-alba-tha-e-suas-dhuibh.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/555230228762451731'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/555230228762451731'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2009/10/cuidich-bbc-alba-tha-e-suas-dhuibh.html' title='Cuidich BBC Alba - tha e suas dhuibh fhèin a-nis.'/><author><name>Alasdair Leòdhas Crow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01786604577567654130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BDDKpJGHdtY/Th7o9ZamI4I/AAAAAAAAAxw/baOxyzMVCSU/s220/Adolf%2BCrow.PNG'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464584024726167749.post-421078254781175434</id><published>2009-10-25T23:26:00.003Z</published><updated>2009-10-26T01:30:54.465Z</updated><title type='text'>Chaochaill mo charaid an-diugh...</title><content type='html'>An rud nach eil thu 'son a bhith a' cluinntinn air an fhòn: "Alasdair, tha mi duilich ach&amp;nbsp;chaochaill X". Ach, gu mì-fhortanach, nuair a thòg mi an fhòn a-nochd, 'b e siud na chuala mi. Tha a h-uile rud a' tuiteam às a chèile cho luath 's a tha thu ga chluinntinn. Càit'? Carson? Cuin? Seo iad na trì ceistean a tha a' dol mun cuairt nad cheann... uill, nam cheann-sa co-dhìu.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An rud a tha neònach -&amp;nbsp;bha fhios 'am gun do thachair e mus d'thàinig an call. Bha brath air Facebook ma dheidhinn ["17yo, 18 nxt wk, dead in car crash"] ach chan eil thu a-riamh a' smaoineachadh gum bi an caraid agad&amp;nbsp;am fear a chiadh a chaochailleadh...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chan eil mi 'son a' cumail a' dol a' bruidhinn ma dheidhinn. Tha e ro bhronach agus, ag innse an fhìrinn, chan eil facail agam ri ràdh. Tha mo cheann falamh - agus chan ann gu tric a tha siud a' tachairt!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mu dheireadh thall tha mi dìreach 'son ag ràdh gun do chaill sinn cuideigin cho tapaidh is deònach rudan ùra a feuchainn. Tha fhios 'am gun robh an teaghlach aige anabarrach fhèin measail air agus gun robh gaol mòr aca air cuideachd. 'S e fìor bràthair-mòr a bh' ann cuideachd. A bharrachd air siud, 's e goilfear air leth math a bh' ann [fear de na goilfearan as fheàrr fo aois 18 ann an Alba] agus 's e caraid math a bh' ann thairis na bliadhnaichean cuideachd.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Chan eil mi cinnteach air an abairt Gàidhlig&amp;nbsp;air seo ach, R.I.P man. x&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;To those who do not have Gaelic, this post is all about the death of one of my friends this evening. Of all the words you want to hear when you answer the phone, "I'm sorry but X is dead" are not some of them. It throws your mind into a state of panic and confusion. Where? Why? When? tend to be the questions you ask yourself. I know I did.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;The strange thing - I already knew it had happened. Thanks to the wonders of Facebook I already knew that a young male had died on the Bends, but I did not know who. You never think&amp;nbsp;that the person that died&amp;nbsp;could have&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;been a friend of yours. In this case, however, it was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;I'm not for continuing wittering on. It's too sad and to be honest, there is nothing I can say. My head is empty - and that doesn't happen very often!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;Finally, I just want to say that we have lost such an outgoing and up for anything kind of guy tonight. I know just how much his family thought of him and also that&amp;nbsp;he shared a great love for&amp;nbsp;them too [Even though he wouldn't tell you he did - typical guy!] He was a great big brother as well. On top of this he was a brilliant golfer [on of the best under-18 golfers in Scotland] and he was a good friend over the year&amp;nbsp;as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: xx-small;"&gt;If there&amp;nbsp;is one last thing for me to say it&amp;nbsp;is that I wish his family my utmost sincerity and that I hope he rests forever in peace.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3464584024726167749-421078254781175434?l=lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/feeds/421078254781175434/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2009/10/chaochail-mo-charaid-diugh.html#comment-form' title='4 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/421078254781175434'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3464584024726167749/posts/default/421078254781175434'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lagaisnagaidhlig.blogspot.com/2009/10/chaochail-mo-charaid-diugh.html' title='Chaochaill mo charaid an-diugh...'/><author><name>Alasdair Leòdhas Crow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01786604577567654130</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='28' src='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BDDKpJGHdtY/Th7o9ZamI4I/AAAAAAAAAxw/baOxyzMVCSU/s220/Adolf%2BCrow.PNG'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3464584024726167749.post-1251067915480051079</id><published>2009-10-24T19:20:00.002+01:00</published><updated>2009-10-24T19:31:50.383+01:00</updated><title type='text'>Coffee Break Fraingis?
