So this turned into more of a soap-box than the systematic comparison I had hoped it to be. In short, they're different. They're also not that different. An old Gaeilgeóir told me yesterday go bhfuill Gaeilge an-mhaith agam. I still can barely spell it though. Hey, we're all Gaels!
Anyway, this is me looking at the differences in spelling, vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation between the Gaelics of Scotland and Ireland, from the perspective of someone who is apparently capable of having a decent conversation in both.
Yes, I know I forgot to write the lenition in "Seann Ghàidhlig".
Yes, I know it's "daoibh" and not "dhaibh". Oops.
