Research Reports
Research conducted into the state of Gaelic and its associated language community typically leads to a report. Such research is conducted by various bodies and researchers and their reports appear in a range of journals, books and other publications. Bòrd na Gàidhlig actively supports some of these research projects by others, and where there remains a gap in knowledge BnG itself can commission a piece of research. The reports from research in which BnG has been involved are available here.
