It's a bit of a mystery why it's taught in school, given it's about the
least useful language to learn.
Nah. That would be Welsh.
No, that would be Scottish Gaelic - 57,000 speak this - it is not
(apparently) interchangeable with Irish Gaelic (the numbers for which are
inflated by people who were forced to learn it at school but have never
spoken it in real life - on that basis I speak French, be we have already
established that I don't)
Welsh has half a million speakers
