The proper name of the language is Irish, since it is the language of the Irish people.

Gaelic is the name of the language subgroup that Irish belongs to, together with Scottish Gaelic and the extinct Manx Gaelic.

Just as English is the official name of the language I am typing and you are reading, and it is also a Western Germanic language.

Many people get touchy if you call Irish simply "Gaelic," so don't. "Irish Gaelic" is neutral. "Irish" is preferred. The idea is that calling the language "Gaelic" instead of Irish suggests that it is a foreign language and not the language of the "Irish" people. There is another word, "Erse" which is categorically offensive. Never, ever use that.

"Gaelic" on its own usually refers to Scottish Gaelic.

The Irish term for the Irish language is Gaeilge.

MANX IS NOT EXTINCT!
