Deeside Gaelic is an extinct dialect of Scottish Gaelic spoken in Aberdeenshire until 1984.[1] Unlike a lot of extinct dialects of Scottish Gaelic, it is relatively well attested. A lot of the work pertaining to Deeside Gaelic was done by Frances Carney Diack,[2][3] and was expanded upon by David Clement, Adam Watson[4] and Seumas Grannd.[5]
