How do you write dates of the year in Gaelic?

To write dates in Gaelic (specifically Scottish Gaelic), the following conventions are used:

1. Years:

- The word for "year" in Gaelic is "bliadhna" (singular) and "bliadhnaichean" (plural).

- Years are expressed using Arabic numerals, followed by the abbreviation "bl" for singular and "bl-an" for plural. For example:

- 2023 -> 2023 bl

- 1995 -> 1995 bl

- 2010-2015 -> 2010-2015 bl-an

2. Months:

- Gaelic has specific names for each month. Here are the names of the months in order:

- Gearran (January)

- Feabhra (February)

- Màrt (March)

- Giblean (April)

- Cèitean (May)

- Ògmhios (June)

- Iuchar (July)

- Lùnastal (August)

- An t-Sultain (September)

- Dàmhair (October)

- Samhain (November)

- Dùbhlachd (December)

- The Gaelic name for the month is followed by the day number within that month, then "a'," and then the year written as mentioned earlier. For example:

- March 17, 2022 -> 17 a' Mhàrt, 2022

- May 10, 2023 -> 10 a' Chèitein, 2023

Here are some additional examples of dates written in Gaelic:

- January 1, 2022 -> 1 Gearran, 2022

- August 15, 2019 -> 15 Lùnastal, 2019

- September 29, 2021 -> 29 an t-Sultain, 2021

Remember, these examples are based on Scottish Gaelic conventions. There may be slight variations in spelling or usage in other Gaelic dialects or regions.
