As the final deadline of 13 July approaches, organisations across Scotland are being encouraged to amplify the use of Gaelic in their communities and workplaces by sharing their experiences, helping to ensure its value is recognised and celebrated.

The research, commissioned by 91影视 and Islands Enterprise (91影视) in partnership with Scottish Government, B貌rd na G脿idhlig, VisitScotland and Skills Development Scotland, is seeking input from businesses, social enterprises, community groups and organisations across Scotland.

Researchers say that more Gaelic voices are needed in our communities and our workplaces to ensure the full picture of the language鈥檚 impact is captured, in both economic and social terms.

They are particularly keen to hear from organisations that use Gaelic in areas such as branding, marketing, customer experiences, products and services, events, education, tourism, food and drink, creative industries and community activity.

The study aims to build a stronger evidence base on how Gaelic contributes to economic growth, employment, innovation and community wellbeing, helping to inform future policy and investment decisions.

Researchers are encouraging more organisations to take part. Joanna Peteranna, director of area operations at 91影视, said:

鈥淲e鈥檙e aware that many businesses and organisations use Gaelic in ways that make a real difference to their customers, communities and identity, but those impacts are not always captured in the evidence.

鈥淲ith just over a week left to take part, we鈥檙e encouraging anyone who uses Gaelic in any area of their work, whether that鈥檚 a small community organisation, a tourism business or a larger employer, to share their experiences and help us build a clearer picture of Gaelic鈥檚 contribution to Scotland鈥檚 economy and communities.鈥�

Cabinet Secretary for Education, Culture and Gaelic M脿iri McAllan said:

鈥淎s well as being a fundamental part of our society and culture, Gaelic makes a distinct contribution to Scotland鈥檚 economy. It is part of what makes our music and events sectors so unique, is a significant draw for our tourism industry, and by lending provenance and authenticity it supports much of our food, drink and hospitality sector.

鈥淲ithin broadcasting, recent productions like the award-winning drama An t-Eilean - The Island - shows that Gaelic media continues to punch above its weight while also being a major employer within the 91影视 and Islands.

鈥淭his is why research on the Gaelic economy is so important, to provide the insights which will help us build upon the already significant contribution that Gaelic culture and language makes to Scotland鈥檚 success.鈥�

The research team is looking for examples of how Gaelic supports business growth, attracts visitors, strengthens communities, creates opportunities and adds value to products and services.

If Gaelic plays any role in someone鈥檚 work, they are encouraged to take part. Every response helps build a clearer picture of Gaelic鈥檚 social and economic value from sectors including media, education, health and social care, community development, tourism, food and drink and creative industries businesses among others.

Tha an rannsachadh, a tha air a choimiseanadh le Iomairt na G脿idhealtachd 鈥檚 nan Eilean (91影视) ann an com-p脿irteachas le Riaghaltas na h-Alba, B貌rd na G脿idhlig, VisitScotland agus Leasachadh Sgilean na h-Alba, a鈥� sireadh in-chur bho ghnothachasan, iomairtean s貌isealta, buidhnean coimhearsnachd is buidhnean air feadh Alba.

Tha luchd-rannsachaidh ag r脿dh gu bheil feum air barrachd ghuthan G脿idhlig nar coimhearsnachdan agus nar n-脿iteachan-obrach a chluinntinn, gus d猫anamh cinnteach gu bheil dealbh iomlan de fh矛or bhuaidh a鈥� ch脿nain ga ghlacadh, san d脿 chuid d貌igh eaconamach agus s貌isealta.

Tha iad gu h-脿raid measail air cluinntinn bho bhuidhnean a tha a鈥� cleachdadh G脿idhlig ann an raointean leithid branndadh, margaideachd, e貌las chustamairean, bathar is seirbheisean, tachartasan, foghlam, turasachd, biadh is deoch, gn矛omhachasan cruthachail agus gn矛omhachd coimhearsnachd.

Tha an sgr霉dadh ag amas air bunait fhianais nas l脿idire a thogail mu dheidhinn mar a tha G脿idhlig a鈥� cur ri f脿s eaconamach, cosnadh, 霉r-ghn脿thachas is sunnd coimhearsnachd, agus a鈥� cuideachadh le poileasaidh agus co-dh霉naidhean tasgaidh fhiosrachadh don 脿m ri teachd.

Tha luchd-rannsachaidh a鈥� moladh do bharrachd bhuidhnean gu p脿irt a ghabhail. Thuirt Joanna Peteranna, sti霉iriche obraichean sg矛reil aig 91影视:

鈥淎 thuilleadh air a bhith na bun-st猫idh dhan chomann-sh貌isealta agus dhan chultar againn, tha G脿idhlig a鈥� cur ri eaconamaidh na h-Alba san d貌igh aice fh猫in. Tha i am measg nan adhbharan a tha na roinnean-ci霉il is tachartais againn cho s貌nraichte, agus bidh i a鈥� t脿ladh t貌rr dhaoine dhan ghn矛omhachas turasachd againn. Cuideachd, cumaidh i taic ri p脿irt mh貌r dhe na roinnean-b矛dh, -dibhe is -aoigheachd againn, tro bhith a鈥� toirt eileamaid de fhreumhachd is f矛rinneachd dhaibh.

鈥淎nn an craoladh, tha pr貌graman a chunnacas bho chionn ghoirid mar an dr脿ma An t-Eilean 鈥� sreath a th鈥� air duaisean a bhuannachadh 鈥� a鈥� sealltainn gu bheil na meadhanan G脿idhlig a鈥� s矛or-amas air targaidean m貌ra. Tha na meadhanan cuideachd a鈥� toirt t貌rr chothroman-obrach do dhaoine taobh a-staigh na G脿idhealtachd 鈥檚 nan Eilean.

鈥淪eo an t-adhbhar a tha rannsachadh air eaconamaidh na G脿idhlig cho cudromach, airson 鈥檚 gum faighear na staitistigean a bhios nan cuideachadh dhuinn le bhith a鈥� togail air na tha c脿nan is cultar na G脿idhlig a鈥� cur ri soirbheas na h-Alba 鈥� 鈥檚 iad a鈥� cur gu m貌r ris mar-th脿.鈥�

Ma tha 脿ite aig G脿idhlig ann an obair neach sam bith, thathar a鈥� moladh dhuibh p脿irt a ghabhail. Tha gach freagairt a鈥� cuideachadh le dealbh nas soilleire a thogail de luach s貌isealta is eaconamach na G脿idhlig, bho roinnean a鈥� gabhail a-steach meadhanan, foghlam, sl脿inte is c霉ram s貌isealta, leasachadh coimhearsnachd, turasachd, biadh is deoch, agus gnothachasan nan gn矛omhachasan cruthachail am measg ch脿ich.
