I think that's lovely. I think Gaelic is very beautiful. As long as the maps are correct, it doesn't matter whether they are in Gaelic or Swahili- you look at the map, you look at the sign, you match the two names up. Thanks for posting that!

What a fine idea. If they wanted to go all the way they'd go back to the old Gaelic lettering. I have an old Irish grammar book put out by the Christian Brothers and the lettering looks like sanskrit. Tough enough to learn the language, even tougher if the characters are completely different.
