Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Irish and Scottish Gaelic are living languages with revitalisation efforts, Manx was revived after its last traditional speaker, and their status and vitality are discussed with attribution.
