- Of or pertaining to that branch of the Celtic race which comprises the Erse of Ireland, the Gaels of Scotland, and the Manx of the Isle of Man, as distinguished from the Cymric branch. See Cymry. Ireland was the first home of the Gadhelic branch, whence it spread to Scotland in the sixth century, a portion of the branch, under the name of Scots, having then settled in Argyll. The Scots ultimately became the dominant race, the Picts, an earlier and probably a Cymric race, being lost in them.
- n. The language of the Gadhelic branch of the Celtic race, comprising the Erse, Gaelic, and Manx.
GNU Webster's 1913
- adj. Of, belonging to, or designating, that division of the Celtic languages which includes the Irish, Gaelic, and Manx.
