What does albannach mean?
and does it have any specifics on the written,like most foreign languages do?
Best Answer

Brennus answered 6 years ago

"Albannach" - It means "Scottish" and is pronounced all-uh-bunn-uckh.

Alban and Albion are old Celtic names for the island of Britain possibly from the Proto-Celtic root *alb- meaning "white" because of the white cliffs at Dover in southern England.

However, after the Anglo-Saxons from northern Germany invaded England (499 A.D.), Alban came to be apply only to the northern half of the island (Scotland).

Gaelic (Irish and Scottish) is written in a logophonemic system of spelling rather than a phonemic one.

This means that words are usually not spelled the way they are pronounced. English, Polish and Thai are written in logophonemic systems too and French and Hungarian have limited logophonemic writing systems.

Languages that have phonemic writing systems where words are spelled pretty much the way they sound include Latin, Italian, Spanish, German, Finnish, Russian and Welsh.
