Gaelic Language Bill
The motion
That the Parliament warmly welcomes the publication of the first ever draft Gaelic Language bill; acknowledges the historic symmetry of the publication of the bill and the 100th Mod; appreciates that the Gaelic language is an integral part of life and work in Scotland, and recognises the importance of this legislation to underpin both the language and culture of the Gael in order to ensure that the language not only survives but continues to thrive.
The member has provided the following Gaelic translation:
Gu bheil a’ Phàrlamaid a’ cur fàilte chridheil air foillseachadh a’ chiad dreachd bhile Gàidhlig riamh; gu bheil i a’ toirt fainear an suidheachadh eachdraidheil gun deach am bile fhoillseachadh aig àm a' cheudamh Mhòid; gu bheil i ag aithneachadh gu bheil a’ Ghàidhlig na pàirt riatanach de bheatha agus de dh’ obair ann an Alba, agus gu bheil i ag aithneachadh cho cudthromach agus a tha an reachdas seo mar bhun-stèidh an dà chuid do chànain agus do chultar nan Gaidheal ann a bhith a’ dèanamh cinnteach nach e a-mhàin gum mair a’ chànain beò ach gun lean a soirbheas san àm ri teachd.
