Synopsis
Excerpt from The Philologic Uses of the Celtic Tongue: A Lecture
The most singular phenomenon under this head is that in the most widely diffused of living tongues apart from English, viz., the Arabic, it is a letter which does not exist at all, and that alphabet and literature are constituted independently of it.
With Icelandic, Arabic, and to a certain extent Latin, to keep it in countenance in this matter, Gaelic has no reason to be ashamed of its treatment of this letter. Rather it is a proof of the hoary antiquity of the tongue which has come down to us.
