Sobre IBD

A handy reference guide to Gaelic-derived words and expressions in common usage in English. Like George McLennan’s previously successful book “Scots Gaelic - An Introduction to the Basics”, “Gaelic and English - Their Common Origins” and “A Gaelic Alphabet - A Guide to the Pronunciation of Gaelic Letters and Words”, this book will be a great help to anyone with an interest in the links between the two languages. It forms a valuable reference tool to which readers will return again and again. 3
