I took a course in Medieval Welsh a few years ago at UCLA. It was offered about once a year by the Indo-European Studies program. No course in modern Welsh was offered. I believe Medieval Irish was also in the curriculum somewhere. I got weird interests. Mike

> >Are there any universities that offer Gaelic (Irish or Scottish) language... > To that list, may I add Cornish, Manx and Welsh? Harvard's Celtic Languages and Literatures Dept. offers: For Undergraduates and Graduates: The Heroic Traditions of Ireland and Wales (in translation), Irish Learning (in translation) Breton, Middle Welsh, Advanced Middle Welsh, Scottish Gaelic, Modern Irish (2), Scottish Folklore (in translation and original), Joyce, History of Irish (Linguistics course). Primarily for Graduates: Old Irish, Middle Irish, Advanced Old and Middle Irish, Early Modern Irish, Backgrounds of Early and Medieval Irish Literature, Introduction to the Celtic Languages (philology), and Comparative Celtic. I would also check out the University of Chicago, Yale, Columbia, Princeton.

Syracuse University (Syracuse, NY 13210) offers courses in
a variety of languages, including Celtic, Vietnamese, Swahili, etc.
If you want to take coursework in these languages, they slap
an extra fee (last time I looked it was $125 plus $158/credit-hour).

There is a Gaelic College on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia. It is on the southern section of the Cabot Trail. My wife and I drove by it this summer while on vacation. You can probably get more info on it by writing the Tourist Bureau in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Scott Pector
