==== Scottish Gaelic ==== There are also current attempts to revive the related language of [[Scottish Gaelic]], which was suppressed following the formation of the United Kingdom, and entered further decline due to the [[Highland clearances]]. Currently{{when|date=November 2024}}, Gaelic is only spoken widely in the [[Western Isles]] and some relatively small areas of the [[Highlands and Islands]].
