"The Gaelic Language (Scotland) Bill 2004 was introduced on 27September 2004. It establishes Bòrd na Gàidhlig (the Bòrd) as a statutory body which will work to secure the status of Gaelic as an official language of Scotland. The Bòrd can require Scottish public authorities to produce and implement Gaelic language plans, and will itself produce a national strategy for Gaelic. It can also provide guidance on Gaelic education. This briefing considers some key issues in the Bill and it attempts to set these in a broader context of approaches to language planning, with particular emphasis on comparison with Welsh and Irish and previous proposals for Gaelic as well as considering obligations under the European Charter on Regional and Minority Languages."
