LANGUAGE  \nIrish is one of the many languages spoken aross Europe and as far east as India,that tracetheir descent from Indo-European,a hypothetical ancestor-language thought to have beenspoken more than 4,500 years ago.Irish belongs to the Celtic branch of the Indo-Europeanfamily,as the diagram below shows.It and three other members of this branch -ScottishGaelic,Welsh and Breton-are today alive as community languages.  \nThe form of Celtic that was to become Irish was brought to Ireland by the invading Gaels-about 300 B.C.according to some scholars.Later it spread to Scotland and the Isle of Man.Scottish Gaelic and Manx gradually separated from Irish(and,more slowly,from each other),and they can be thought of as distinct languages from the seventeenth century onwards.Theterm'Gaelic'may be used to denote all three.  \nIt appears that the early Irish learned the art of writing at about the time of their conversionto Christianity,in the fifth century.After that,the language can be seen to go through fourstages of continuous historical development,as far as its written form is concerned:Old Irish(approximately A.D.600-900),Middle Irish(c.900-1200),Early Modern Irish(c.1200-1650),and Modern Irish.Throughout this development Irish borrowed words from otherlanguages it came into contact with(pre-eminently from
