Gàidhlig Gach Latha

A new campaign is being unveiled today (19 March) encouraging people and organisations to commit to using the Gaelic language every day across Scotland. The ‘Gach Latha’ movement aims to showcase Gaelic being spoken in communities, online and in workplaces, inspiring more people to use the language. Ealasaid MacDonald, CEO of Bòrd na Gàidhlig, said:

“We are inviting people and organisations across Scotland to join this movement to use Gaelic every single day. We know there is great love and interest in the Gaelic language and culture across Scotland and beyond, and we are seeing encouraging growth in the number of people learning Gaelic.”“There are fantastic events organised accross the country by organisations like An Comunn Gàidhealach, Fèisean nan Gàidheal, Ceòlas, and a wide range of others that successfully showcase Gaelic in our homes, our schools, our streets, and our businesses each year. With this new ‘Gach Latha’ campaign, we want to build everyday momentum for Gaelic.”

“You absolutely do not have to be a fluent speaker to participate – we want to hear from people from all walks of life, including businesses and organisations – who want to show their love for Gaelic and speak it more often.”

Chaidh an iomairt ‘Gach Latha’ a chur air bhog le Bòrd na Gàidhlig airson barrachd dhaoine a bhrosnachadh gus Gàidhlig a bhruidhinn le misneachd. Tha sinn airson sealltainn mar a tha a’ Ghàidhlig ga bruidhinn ann an coimhearsnachdan, ann an dachaighean, air loidhne, agus ann an àitichean-obrach agus a’ toirt taic do chàch gus an cànan a chleachdadh nas trice.

Tha sinn den bheachd gum bi làithearachd làidir aig a’ Ghàidhlig ann an Alba ma bhios a h-uile duine aig a bheil sgilean sa chànan ag amas air an cleachdadh gach latha – luchd-labhairt fileanta agus luchd-ionnsachaidh còmhla.

Gus an iomairt a ghluasad air adhart, thathar ag iarraidh air luchd-labhairt na Gàidhlig agus luchd-taic de gach comas an ùidh a th’ aca sa chànan a thaisbeanadh tro phuist air na meadhanan sòisealta, a’ cleachdadh an hashtag #gachlatha. Tha sinn cuideachd air GIFan a chruthachadh, a gheibhear air Giphy agus air Instagram le bhith a’ lorg ’gachlatha’.

The Gach Latha campaign has been launched by Bòrd na Gàidhlig to inspire more people to use the language with confidence. The aim is to showcase Gaelic being spoken in communities, at home, online, and in workplaces, encouraging others as we go and supporting others to use the language more often.

‘Gach latha’ means ‘every day’ in Gaelic. We believe that the language will have a bright future in Scotland if everyone with Gaelic language skills aims to put them into practice daily – whether they are fluent speakers, recent learners, or lapsed speakers from more traditional Gaelic communities.

To drive the movement, Gaelic speakers and supporters of all abilities are being asked to show their love for the language through posts on social media, using the #gachlatha hashtag. We’ve also created #gachlatha GIFs, which can be found on Giphy and on Instagram by searching for ’gachlatha’.”
