Adhiero a la ley de oficializacion del gaelico escoces como un irlandesargentino cultor de ambos dialectos... siempre anhele que Escocia tuviese la
misma dualidad linguistica que Eire como simbolos ante el mundo, se que en
el caso irlandes todavia es mucho lo que falta para recuperar mas aun su
lengua, con mas razon Alba que dobla en cantidad de hablantes de idioma
celta a la isla esmeralda!!!
A nivel local estoy brindando mi pequeño aporte dando clases de Irlandes y
participo ademas del Coro Ceolraidh de Argentina y a traves de mi otra
actividad, la musica trato de usarla como medio de difusion de la cultura
gaelica con grupos como Fingal, Lusmor y futuros proyectos por venir... De
mas esta decir la estrecha colaboracion que mantengo con Guillermo
Santana MacKinlay al respecto, siendo los cultores locales ya una pequeña
comunidad...
Sin mas y Atte. los saludo y deseo la mejor suerte!!!

I , as a person of Irish-Argentinean culture and speaker of both dialects,
agree that there should be an a law [to make] Scottish Gaelic official... I have
always wanted Scotland to have the same linguistic duality as Ireland, to be
symbols to the world, I know that in the Irish case there is still a lot to be done
to revive their language further; even more so in Scotland where there are
double the number of speakers of a Celtic language than on the Emerald
Isle!!!
On a local level, I am doing my bit offering Irish classes and I also take part in
the choir Ceòlraidh [the Muses] of Argentina and through my other hobby,
music, I try to use it as a way of spreading the Gaelic culture with groups such
as Fingal, Lusmor and there are future projects to come. . . In addition
I should mention the cosy collaboration I have with Guillermo Santana
MacKinlay in this regard, being the local cultural representatives of an already
small community...
Without further ado and Faithfully. I send you my greetings and with you the
best of luck !!!
