As clearly seen in Irish entry for Scottish Gaelic and Scottish for Irish on their Wikipedias (and also on this site):
 * 1) the Irish term Gaeilge can refer to any Goidelic language or dialect (or to the whole Gaelic world), so at least meanings such as Gaelic, Goidelic, Scottish Gaelic and Manx probably should be added, with links to Gaeilge na hAlban and Gaeilge Mhanann (and maybe even Gaeilge na hÉireann – ||+%22ghaeilge+na+h%C3%A9ireann%22+||+%22ngaeilge+na+h%C3%A9ireann%22 Google has over 23,000 results on that) as more specific synonyms.
 * 2) the Scottish Gàidhlig na h-Èireann (or even just Gàidhlig, by the same logic as above, but the other way around) is preferred to refer to Irish in that language, instead of borrowed Gaeilge and should be linked as a synonym in Scottish Gaelic entry. // Silmeth @talk 00:03, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
