N� hea, a Sh�amais.
"Gaeilge na h�ireann" is Irish Gaelic
"G�idhlig na h-Alba" is Scottish Gaelic
"Gaelg Vanninn" is Manx Gaelic.
The first and third of these are often called just Irish and Manx, but it
is certainly not incorrect to use the term "Irish Gaelic". All three of
these languages are Gaelic, .i. Gaelach.
