"Gaelic" as a linguistic term, refers to the Gaelic Language , but can also refer to the transmission of any other Gaelic cultural feature such as social norms and customs, music, sport etc. Historically, Gaelicisation 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, Gaelicisation is more often a pro active or deliberate process, particularly present in Ireland, whereby Placenames , Surnames and Given Names are Gaelicised, or more often, re-Gaelicised, in order to prevent the further decline of the modern language.
