Early Modern Irish, also called Classical Irish or Classical Gaelic, is the form of the Irish language used as a literary language in Ireland from the 13th to the 17th century and in Scotland from the 13th to the 18th century.[1][2] Ethnologue gives the name "Hiberno-Scottish Gaelic" (and the ISO/DIS 639-3 code ghc) to this purely written language.
