Glasgow Gaelic is an emerging dialect of Scottish Gaelic[2][3] spoken by 10% of Scottish Gaelic speakers making it the most spoken Dialect outside of the Highlands.[4]

Glasgow Gaelic emerged due to Scottish Gaelic-medium education as well as a migration from the Outer Hebrides to Glasgow.[5] Most speakers learn Glasgow Gaelic from Glasgow Gaelic School.
