Irish - 10
The Goidelic language predates the other languages.
There are so many combinations of letters which change the way you pronounce them.

I am learning Irish and Welsh and Welsh is very easy when compared to Irish.
The pronunciations are phonetics are not logical.
It was a guess
Because they are always drunk!
Dwi'n siarad Cymraeg!!
I have been trying to learn Irish via Duolingo. Phonics do not work with their words. The word looks nothing like it sounds.
There are three distinct dialects, and the language is highly inflected. Also, the spelling conventions are a bit more off-putting than the Welsh language to me.
Scottish - 6
Browsing the internet and seing compared texts of all the above mentioned languages, it just seemed to me that Irish is somewhat more complicated in its writing-pronunciation.
because i think that is very complex to understand or even to distinguishthe different sound and especially with the add of the glotal stop
im scots and i dont understand it at times lol
Saw a movie once.
because of old poems i tried to read
Because in some regions their accent is very thick and, along with their phrasing and vocabulary unique to their region, it can be hard to understand what they're saying. I, as someone who speaks standardized American English (pronouncing words like an American dictionary sounds them out), I found it hard to understand people in Ayr. I didn't have as much trouble in Ft William or Edinburgh.
Welsh - 18
**** off, ****
Too many y's and h's
I can understand the other two.
It is a brythonic language.
My great grandma spoke it . I can't begin to roll the tongue to sound out syllables is the vowels,
less people speak it
Because.
My grandfather was welsh and spoke the it and my grandmother was Irish and spoke Gaelic even though they are both a Gaelic I could never understand him
being of Welsh decent, have tried, laborously, to understand and speak...
My grandfathers family was from Wales, and spoke "in tongue" - very difficult to understand.
As well, yearly gatherings at the Welsh Church south of Iowa City Iowa in early July "Gymanfa" entertains congregation and guests singing "in tongue" as well. I never understood any of it but thoroughly enjoyed all of it.
Because it looks and sounds more complex to me
Because they actually speak a separate language, the Irish and Scottish mostly speak Englush!
No vowels.
i was guessing
I can readily understand English spoken with an Irish or Scotish accent, but have a difficult time when it is spoken with a Welsh accent. I have to concentrate on the person speaking and sometimes have to watch their lips to be really able to understand what is being said. I am great with accents as a rule.
Simply because I am least familiar with the Welsh tongue out of the three.
Too many consonants in one word!
Guttural short syllables
