Is Gaelic still a spoken language?

The answer depends on what you mean by "Gaelic".

Here's the breakdown:

* Irish Gaelic: Yes, Irish Gaelic is still spoken by a significant number of people, primarily in Ireland. It's an official language of the Republic of Ireland and is enjoying a resurgence in popularity.

* Scottish Gaelic: Yes, Scottish Gaelic is still spoken, primarily in the Scottish Highlands and islands. It's also an official language of Scotland, although the number of speakers is declining.

* Manx Gaelic: This Gaelic language, spoken on the Isle of Man, is considered extinct as a living language. It's being revived through educational efforts, but it's not spoken daily by a significant number of people.

So, in short:

* Irish Gaelic and Scottish Gaelic are still spoken languages.

* Manx Gaelic is essentially extinct.
