Presently, the text says: It is safe to say, though, that the Galwegian language died out somewhere between 1700 and 1800. Not only is this inappropriately unencyclopedic wording (a bad sign right off the bat), and there is no source for this claim (or for much of a damn' thing else in this entire erstwhile article), I've recently (last few weeks) run across credible sources saying that at least pockets of Gaelic speaking survived in Galloway into the 19th century. I'll dig this up again as time permits (it wasn't something I was actively looking for, so I did not take extensive notes on it, but I'm pretty certain I made a short annotation in one file or another, so it should not be too hard to find again). — SMcCandlish☏¢ 😼 02:45, 14 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
