What about Scottish Gaelic?

On the vertical tree map (where are the cats and birds?), what do the numbers represent?
i.e. English 328, Spanish 329?

Gaelic is only spoken by about 100k Scots from the Hebrides and the Highlands.
It was never the language of the Central Lowlands. Gaelic is not my language .....
The language of the lowlands is Lallans , a dialect of English..I can understand Lallans but it is really only a literary language now
When I have a wee whisky and start to call my sisters, my wife who speaks great English cannot understand me....

But that's only counting the ones who choose to speak, right?

I only know one guy who speaks Scottish Gaelic as a first language .. he was born in the Hebrides.
