Fòram na Gàidhlig

'S e amasan Ainmean-Àite na h-Alba aineam-àite Gàidhlig a stèidheachadh air feadh na h-Alba le sùil ri cumaidhean eachdraidheil 's ri daingneachadh cleachdaidhean an latha an-diugh, litreachadh seasmhach a chur an gnìomh air Gàidhlig ann an ainmean-àite agus na cumaidhean seo a bhrosnachadh mar ainmean stèidhte.

'S e An Comunn Gàidhealach tè de na buidhnean as sinne 's aithnichte ann an saoghal na Gàidhlig. Bhon a chaidh a stèidheachadh san Òban ann an 1891, tha i air cliù a dhearbhadh ann an teagaisg, ionnsachadh agus cleachdadh a' chànain agus air brosnachadh a thoirt dha leudachadh litreachas, eachdraidh, ceòl agus ealain na Gàidhlig. Leis a' Mhòd Nàiseanta Rìoghail fo sgèith agus obair leasachaidh sna coimhearsnachdan a' dol am meud, tha An Comunn fhathast a' daingneachadh na amais a bhith a' brosnachadh agus a' neartachadh cànan, cultar, eachdraidh agus dualchas na Gàidhlig aig ìrean ionadail, nàiseanta agus eadar-nàiseanta.

Founded in Oban in 1891, it has long been a leading light in the teaching, learning and use of the Gaelic language and the study and cultivation of Gaelic literature, history, music and art. Through the organisation and running of the Royal National Mòd and grass roots community development work, An Comunn Gaidhealach continues to further its aim of supporting and developing all aspects of the Gaelic language, culture, history and heritage at local, national and international levels.

'S e buidheann phoblach neo-roinneil ghnìomhach a th' ann am Bòrd na Gàidhlig a tha cunntachail tro Mhinistearan do Phàrlamaid na h-Alba.

Bilingualism Matters is a research and information centre at the University of Edinburgh, founded by Prof. Antonella Sorace in 2008. We study bilingualism and language learning, and communicate what we know to enable people to make informed decisions based on scientific evidence. We have partner branches run by international teams of researchers in many countries around the world. We think that everyone can enjoy the benefits of having more than one language.

We believe that real change happens through dialogue between researchers and the community. We work in partnership with parents, teachers, health professionals, policy makers and employers to help create impact in people's daily lives. There are now branches of Bilingualism Matters all over the world.

Research has shown that bilingualism is beneficial for children's development and their future. Children exposed to different languages become more aware of different cultures, other people and other points of view. But they also tend to be better than monolinguals at 'multitasking' and focusing attention. They are often more precocious readers, and generally find it easier to learn other languages. Bilingualism gives children much more than two languages!

More recent research also suggests that learning another language may have benefits in later life, delaying the onset of dementia symptoms, and slowing cognitive aging. The good news is that these benefits seem to exist even when people learn a second language later in life. So it is never too late.

'S e prìomh amas gach buidheann "a bhith a' cur air adhart agus a' toirt taice do stèidheachadh is cumail suas foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig". 'S ann air sàillibh strì phàrantan a thòisich foghlam tro mheadhan na Gàidhlig (FTMG) ann an 1985. Feumaidh taic nam pàrant leantainn ma tha tuilleadh adhartais a' dol a thighinn air an t-siostam foghlaim seo.

Comann nam Pàrant (CnP), which means "Parents' Organisation", consists of a network of around 30 local groups, representing the interests of parents whose children are educated through the medium of Gaelic at the various levels, from pre-school to secondary level. The main aim of all CnP groups is "to promote and support the establishment and maintenance of education through the medium of Gaelic". It was as a result of the efforts of parents that Gaelic medium education (GME) first began in 1985. Continued parental support will be necessary to ensure further progress in this system of education.
