Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No, the two languages have separate roots. Gaelic is often called Scots Gaelic to distinguish it from Irish, though.
Thanks for that. My family immigrated from Scotland a billion years ago or so, and we were always told they spoke mostly Gaelic. When I look at the language map they were from the Gaelic speaking islands that I now know are part of the Goidelic language family. Scots is in the south and part of the Brittonic language family. I can see more reading ahead.
Scots is Germanic. Brittonic is a subfamily of Celtic languages that includes Welsh and Cornish.
I am getting dumber by the minute. lol.
