Gaelicization




Historically, this was a "natural" process, and was the famous fate of the Picts , many of the Hiberno-Norman s and Scoto-Norman s, and perhaps most famously of all, the people who became known as the Norse-Gaels . Today, Gaelicization is more often an artificial process, particularly present in Ireland, whereby Placenames , Surnames and Given Names are Gaelicized, or more often, re-Gaelicized, in order to prevent the further decline of the modern language.
