Gaelic

Bha àite sònraichte aig bàrdachd agus òrain ann an dualchas nan Gàidheal, mar sin, b' ann rudeigin anmoch a nochd a' chiad uirsgeul Gàidhlig, no nobhail Ghàidhlig.

Chaidh Dùn‑Àluinn le Iain MacCormaic fhoillseachadh mar leabhar ann an 1912, agus an dàrna leabhar uirsgeòil bliadhna na dhèidh ann an 1913:An t‑Ogha Mòr le Aonghas MacDhonnchaidh.

n uair sin ge‑tà, tha mìltean de nobhailean air nochdadh sa Ghàidhlig—gu sònraichte le taic bho Chomhairle nan Leabhraichean , a thòisich ann an 1968, agus bho Acair a chaidh a stèidheachadh ann an 1977.

English

Poetry and songs had a special place in Gaelic tradition, so it was somewhat late that the first Gaelic uirsgeul (novel), or Gaelic nobhail (novel) appeared.

Dùn‑Aluinn by John MacCormick was published as a book in 1912, and the second novel (as a book) a year later in 1913: An t‑Ogha Mòr by Angus Robertson.

Since then, however, thousands of novels have appeared in Gaelic—especially with the support of Comhairle nan Leabhraichean (the Gaelic Books Council), which started in 1968, and of Acair which was established in 1977.
