What you're likely referring to is Scottish Gaelic, a Celtic language spoken by a small minority in Scotland, primarily in the Highlands and Islands.
While Scottish Gaelic is the official language of Scotland alongside English, it is not spoken as a primary language by the majority of the population.
Here's a breakdown:
* Scotland: While Scottish Gaelic is an official language, it is spoken by a minority. English is the dominant language.
* Other countries: Scottish Gaelic is spoken by small communities in other countries, primarily due to historical migration, such as in Canada (Nova Scotia) and the United States (Cape Breton Island).
It's important to note that the term "Scottish" often refers to the English dialect spoken in Scotland, which is distinct from Standard English.
