A chàirdean....
Fàilte gun cuairt-litir Ghàidhlig. Tha sinn a’ comharrachadh cò-là-breith Raibeart Burns agus bu toil leinn a’ comharrachadh sàr-chomas a bhàrd anns na trì cànan dùthchail. Bha Raibeart Burns buadhmhor a thaobh a’ cruinneachadh seann òrain is sgeulachdan Albais agus a’ brosnachadh a chànan an aghaidh cuideam ri bruidhinn is sgrìobhadh ann am Beurla a-mhàin. Bha Burns ag aithneachadh cho cudthromach ‘s a bha Albais is Gàidhlig mar phàirt den chultar againn. Bha e a’ brosnachadh a chùis a thaobh a bheartais anns na cainnt mhàthaireil is dual-chainntean anns an aon dòigh ‘s a tha luchd na Gàidhlig, luchd-ionnsachaidh is tidsearan a’ strì ris an latha diugh.
Tha sinn cho fortanach ann an Alba gu bheil an iomadachd cultarach seo againn is leis a sin tha sinn a’ toiseachadh an cuairt-litir seo le Address to a Haggis ann an Gàidhlig, Albais agus Beurla. Slàinte mhath!
Friends...
Welcome to our first bilingual newsletter. As we celebrate the Bard's birthday, we'd like to celebrate Robert Burns' genius in all three of our native languages.
Burns was immensely influential in collecting old Scots songs and stories and promoting the language in the face of pressures to speak and write only in English.
He recognised the place of both Scots and Gaelic in our culture. He helped champion the cause of our rich native tongues and dialects in the same way that modern speakers, learners and teachers of Gaelic strive to do.
We recognise how lucky we are in Scotland to have this rich cultural diversity at our fingertips, so we're starting this, our first bulletin with "Address to the Haggis" in all three of our indigenous languages...Slàinte mhath!
Oidhche na Taigeise!
Gur brèagha d’aghaidh bhàigheil chaoin
A Mharag, rogha chlann nan daoin’
Os cionn gach biadh tha thu nar smaoin
A ghrealaich chàirdeil:
Gur math a b’fhiach thu alt’ chadh – aon
Cho fad’ rim ghàirdein.

Bu thoigh leinn meal-a-naidheachd a chur air na sgoilearan à Acadamaidh Chille Mheàrnaig a ghabh pàirt ann am FilmG, a’ cho-fharpais fhilmichean goirid, am-bliadhna. ‘S math a rinn sibh uile!
Tha FilmG na cho-fharpais fhilmichean goirid sa Ghàidhlig, a tha a’ brosnachadh agus a’ cumail taic ri gach taobh de dh’fhilmichean, bho dhaoine òga gu proifeiseantaich sa ghnìomhachais. Chaidh FilmG a chur air bhog ann an 2008 gus tàlant ùr a leasachadh airson an t-seanail Gàidhlig BBC ALBA a chaidh a chur air bhog san aon bhliadhna. Bhon uair sin, tha e air còrr is 900 film goirid fhaighinn agus tha tòrr dhaoine òga air air an dreuchdan ann an craoladh telebhisean Gàidhlig a thòiseachadh tron cho-fharpais.
