Gaelic is the language traditionally spoken on the western side of Scotland. A prototype text-to-speech system for the language has been produced, consisting of a parser module to produce grammatically correct test phrases, and a text-to-sound module to speak the test phrases. Text-to-phoneme rules were produced, and these are output to a commercial phoneme-based speech synthesiser.
