Glasgow Gaelic is an emerging accent of Mid-Minch Gaelic.[2][3][need quotation to verify] Around 10% of Scottish Gaelic speakers in Scotland are in Glasgow, second only to the Western Isles in concentration.[4]
Glasgow Gaelic emerged due to Scottish Gaelic-medium education as well as a migration from the Outer Hebrides to Glasgow.[5][need quotation to verify]
In 2019 urban poet Niall O'Gallagher was appointed Bàrd Baile Ghlaschu, or as the City of Glasgow's first ever Gaelic language Poet Laureate.[6]
