Gaelic is the English form of the word Gaeilge which means in Irish = Irish
& Irish is the official language of Ireland not Gaelic & Not Irish
Gaelic either. It is in Irish -Gaeilge or in English- Irish.
And what they speak in Scotland is called Scots Gaelic in English &
Albannach or Gaeilge in Scottish (although I'm not sure if albannach is
still used) & in Scotland it is pronounced Gallic as in the French
descriptive word. The final sound being much harder & much more
pronounced than in the Irish. Of course all 3 of the Goidelic languages
are called Gaelic in English, but not in their own tongues.
