Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This grammar of Scots Gaelic, first published in 1896, is based on the earlier work of the Rev. Alexander Stewart, which was one of the first grammars written on the language. Contents include: Pronunciation and orthography Parts of speech Derivation and composition Syntax Current estimates for the number of Scots Gaelic speakers today suggest that it is spoken by between 50,000 to 60,000 individuals primarily in the north of Scotland and in the Western Isles (e.g. Skye, Lewis, Harris). Once the third most spoken language in Canada, after English and French, Scots Gaelic is still spoken in Atlantic Canada on Cape Breton Island by 500-1000 people. Today it is seriously endangered and there are few fluent speakers.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ... in a sentence; seall co e look who he (is), cha'n'eil fhios co am fear a bhuail mi it is not known who struck me, am bheil thu cinnteach co a thuit are you sure who fell, cha'n'eil fios cionnas a thuit e it is not known how he fell, innis dhomh co leis an cii tell me who owns the dog. The same forms co, cia, ciod go to form the so-called Indefinite Pronouns co air bith, co 'sam bith or co 'sa bith whoever, ciod air bith whatever, cia b'e air bith whosoever. The phrases air bitb, 'sam bith limit the terms to which they are attached, like Adjectives; fear'sam bith any man, duine air bith any man, ill 'sam bith anything--at all. The former expression air bith would seem to point to the Welsh byd and the Old Gaelic bith the world as the source of the word bith which is here used. CHAPTER VI--OF VERBS A Verb is a word which signifies to be, to do, or to suffer anything. Gaelic Verbs may be divided into three classes as Regular, Irregular, and Defective. Regular Verbs are such as have the common root of the word in all the moods and tenses; as, buail-- bhuail--buailidh to strike. Irregular Verbs are such as have not a common root throughout; as, rach--chaidh--theid to go. Defective Verbs are such as have not all the parts, or only a few of the parts of the ordinary declension; as, ars quoth, theab had almost. A Verb may be used Transitively, Intransitively Impersonally, or as Auxiliary to another Verb. The Verb is Transitive when its action passes on to an object; as, bhuail e am bord he struck the table. It is Intransitive when the action does not pass on to an object; as, thuit a' chraobh the tree fell. A Verb is used Impersonally when it has no Personal Nominative. It always takes the form of the Third Person Singular of the tenses of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Gaelic Grammar: In Four Parts For several years the Grammar of the Gaelic language by the Rev. Dr Stewart of Moulin has been out of print. This has been a source of regret to scholars and students of that tongue. Not but that there are other Grammars of real value, which it would be unjust either to ignore or to depreciate, and which have served, and are serving, an excellent purpose in connection with Celtic Literature. But the Grammar of Dr Stewart has peculiar features of its own which give it a permanent value. It is distinguished by its simplicity, conciseness, and philosophical accuracy. No Grammar of any language bears on its pages the marks of real and profound scholarship, in so far as it goes, more than does the Grammar of Dr Stewart. One cannot read a sentence of it without seeing how carefully he had collected his materials, and with what judgment, caution, and sagacity he has compared them and drawn his conclusions. His discussions upon the Article, the Noun, the Verb, and the Preposition, are ample evidence of this. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1896 edition. Excerpt: ...o nach tig thu since you will not come. These always introduce a subordinate clause. II.--1. Na is only applied to, and with, the Imperative, to form an Imperative prohibition; as na buail mi strike me not. It usually takes h-before Vowels; as, na h-ol sin drink not that, na h-abair sin say not tliat=do not say so. This however is not very essential; there is not much excuse for it in speaking except perhaps when an open a follows, and there is less excuse for it in writing. 2. Cha it will be observed aspirates initial Labials and Gutturals, but not Dentals. Cha simply negatives the signification of the Verb; (do) bhuail mi I struck, cha do bhuail mi / did not strike. It becomes cha'n before initial Vowels or f-pure; as, cha bhuail mi / will not strike, cha'n ol mi / shall not drink, cha'n fhosgail mi / shall not open. The fact that it does not aspirate Dentals (cha duin mi / shall not shut, cha seinn mi I will not sing) is interesting and important; for it shows the abiding influence of a lost Dental n--the n, doubtless, which reasserts itself before initial Vowels--and it shows further that it is wrong to separate the n of chan as is usually done in writing. Some write it cha'n, some cha-n and others cha n-, all of which shows uncertainty, is troublesome, inelegant and wrong. Mur, nach, and gu'n do not aspirate the following initial consonant. 3. Mur is said to take h-before Vowels, and in order to conform to this it becomes mura; as, mura h-ol mi if I shall not drink. But this again is manifestly not an important matter. Mur ol mi is quite easily spoken and is better in every way, even if the other were not so unreasonable as it seems to be. For, if h-is necessary with mur then is the change to mura not necessary, and not right; and if...
