Western Isles 2001 Census: persons with Gaelic language abilities – numbers (Under-20s as: 0-2, 3-4, 5-11, 12-15, and )

Western Isles 2001 Census: persons with Gaelic language abilities – numbers (Under-20s as: 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, and 15-19)

Western Isles Gaelic abilities by age 2001 Census:  Note: The ‘Read/write, other combinations category contained a very small number of persons (unknown but fewer than 31) able to speak and write but not read Gaelic.  The number of Gaelic speakers in the 3-15 age-group in 2001 dropped to: 1,966 – or 45.3% of the total age-group. In 1991 they were: 2,584 – or 49.3% in 1991, 3,986 – or 67.7% in 1981, and: 4,396 – or 67.6% in  This represents a slowing down of the precipitous collapse of Gaelic amongst young people between 1981 – 1991  Clearly recent levels of GME involving only 25% of primary pupils is quite insufficient effectively to maintain Gaelic amongst young people or in the community.

Western Isles 2001 Census: all persons with and without Gaelic language abilities – numbers (under-20s as: 0-2, 3-4, 5-11, 12-15, and )

Western Isles 2001 Census: all persons with and without Gaelic language abilities – numbers (under-20s as: 0-4, 5-9, 10-14, and )

Western Isles – Gaelic abilities by age 2001 Census  Gaelic speakers in the 3-15 age-group as a proportion of all Gaelic speakers aged 3+ was: 12.5% in 2001, compared with: 13.2% in 1991, 18.6% in 1981, and: 19.2% in  Gaelic speakers aged between as a proportion of all Gaelic speakers aged 3+ was: 18.7% in 2001, 24.7% in 1991, and: 30.4% in  These figures represent a substantial and rapid decline in Gaelic community vitality (which needs to exceed 33.3% even to match natural losses.)

Western Isles 2001 Census: all persons with and without Gaelic language abilities – as %s (Under 20s as: 0-2, 3-4, 5-11, 12-15, and 16-19)

Western Isles: young people in 2001 Census  The census presentation as age groups 0-2, 3-4, 5-11, 12-15, distorts the comparison with older age groups.  Further analysis has enabled the under-20 age-range to be shown in comparable 5-year cohorts, with Gaelic language abilities re- partitioned between them.  Western Isles shows an even more acute population loss amongst 15 – 34s than other Highlands and Islands areas..  The 5 –15 population ‘bulge’ is not maintained amongst 16-34s.  However the modest increase of proportion of Gaelic speakers amongst under-16s is probably due to Gaelic-medium schooling.  Its scale – currently at 25% - is however quite insufficient to make any substantial demographic impact. It may slow down decline but cannot at present levels be at all expected to reverse it.  Clearly, the maintenance of a viable Gaelic community in the Western Isles implies that all its children become effectively bilingual.
