In order to show you the differences (at least in spelling and vocabulary), here is a sample text (the beginning of the parable of the prodigal son, traditionnally used to compare languages):
(Ulster) Irish:
Bhí fear ann a robh beirt mhac aige.
Agus d’úrt an duine ab óige acu lena athair: ‘A athair, tabhair domh a’ chuid don tsealúchas atá a’ tuitim chugam. ‘Agus roinn sé a mhaoin shaolta eatarthu.
Agus i gcionn cupla lá, i ndiaidh don mhac ab óige achan rud a bhailiú le chéile, d’imigh sé ar a’ choigríoch go tír i gcéin, agus chaith a shealúchas thall, a’ tabhairt a shaoil go drabhlásach.
Scottish Gaelic:
Bha aig duine àraidh dithis mhac:
Agus thubhairt am mac a b’òige dhiubh r’a athair, “Athair, thoir dhomh-se a’ chuid-roinn a thig orm do d’mhaoin. Agus roinn e eatorra a bheathachadh.
Agus an-déidh beagain do làithibh, chruinnich am mac a b’òige a chuid uile, agus ghabh e a thurus do dhùthaich fad air astar, agus an-sin chaith e a mhaoin le beatha struidheasaich.
Manx Gaelic:
Va daa vac ec dooinney dy row:
As dooyrt y fer saa rish e ayr, Ayr, cur dooys yn ayrn dy chooid ta my chour. As rheynn eh e eh chooid orroo.
As laghyn ny lurg shen, hymsee yn mac saa ooilley cooidjagh as ghow eh jurnah gys cheer foddey, as ayns shen hug eh jummal er e chooid liorish baghey rouanagh.
Welsh:
Roedd rhyw ddyn a dau fab ganddo.
Dyma'r mab ifancaf yn mynd at ei dad a dweud, 'Dad, dw i eisiau i ti roi fy siâr i o'r ystâd i mi nawr.' Felly dyma'r tad yn cytuno i rannu popeth oedd ganddo rhwng y ddau fab.
"Yn fuan wedyn, dyma'r mab ifancaf yn gwerthu'r cwbl lot, gadael cartref a theithio i wlad bell. Yno gwastraffodd ei arian i gyd ar fywyd gwyllt.
Breton:
Bout a oe un den ha 'noe daou vab, a lâre Jezus.
Hag ar yaouankañ anezhe 'noe lâret d’e dad: Ma sad, raet diñ ar lod danvez a zo deleet diñ.
Hag an tad 'noe lodennet e zanvez etrete.
Hag, un nebeud deizioù àr-lerc’h, ar mab yaouankañ, goude bout tolpet razh e draoù, 'noe en em laket ban hent eit mont d’ur vro pell; ha ba-eno 'noe dismantret e zanvez en ur 'ober chervad.
Cornish:
Yth esa den ha dhodho deu vap,
ha’n yowynca anedha a leverys dh’y das, “Tas, ro dhym an ran a’n pythow a goth dhym.” Hag
ef a rannas yntredha an pygans.
Ha nebes dedhyow a-wosa, an map yowynca a guntellas puptra warbarth ha mos yn hens bys yn bro bell, hag ena ef a scullyas y substans, ow pywa lows.

) just to have something translated. But I have always had an interest in anything Irish OR Scottish...anything Celtic I guess? And have thought about learning the old language. aAfter reading some of the posts here I think I will try to keep learning after I get my translation......I just have no idea where to even start!
