The English and the Celts - no genocide?

[Felix]

Isn´t the Gaelic in some ways a recreated language? At least the Irish Gaelic Dialect... In this I mean the written language of gaelic. I know it has been constanly spoken.

If you mean by fitting written latin letters to the phonetics of it then all languages were recreated when they were put to writing. Dont forget the old ways of writing ... Ogham etc

Take Pin Yin and the Wade Guiles systems for Chinese ... Gung Fu , Kung Fu ... both pronounces teh same way.

But with Chinese the situation is complicated by differences in pronunciation and differences in the ears of people trying to write it down. By modern Mandarin pronunciation, Wad Giles is often just plain wrong: Beijing is "BAY-JING", not "PEA-KING". German and French renderings of Mandarin are noticeably different from romanizations by English speakers. And, of course, different dialects of Chinese are very different in pronunciation; romanized Cantonese should look quite different from romanized Mandarin.
