Glasgow Gaelic

Glasgow Gaelic (Scottish Gaelic: Gàidhlig Ghlaschu) is an emerging dialect, described as "Gaelic with a Glasgow accent", of Standard Scottish Gaelic. It is spoken by about 10% of Scottish Gaelic speakers, making it the most spoken dialect outside of the Highlands.

Glasgow Gaelic emerged due to Scottish Gaelic-medium education as well as a migration from the Outer Hebrides to Glasgow. Most speakers learn Glasgow Gaelic through attending the Glasgow Gaelic School and the dialect has already contributed new works of Scottish Gaelic literature.

Even though some resent the promotion of a Scottish Gaelic language revival in the Lowlands, in 2019 urban poet Niall O'Gallagher was appointed Bàrd Baile Ghlaschu, or as the City of Glasgow's first ever Gaelic language Poet Laureate.

In 2020, Duncan Sneddon, Gaelic Development Officer for the Church of Scotland, wrote of the need for inclusion of possible worshippers who, "may have gone through Gaelic Medium Education, and have a good grasp of the language, but without a family or church background with Gaelic, feel that 'Church Gaelic' is outside their comfort zone."
