Southern Hebridean dialect group

The Southern Hebridean dialect group is a group of dialects of Scottish Gaelic. The Southern Hebridean dialects are spoken in the Outer Hebrides south of Lewis, that being the islands of Harris, Uist and Barra, as well as surrounding smaller islands such as Berneray and Eriskay. The dialect of Skye is closely related to this dialect group and shares many of its features, as are the west coast mainland dialects of Glenelg, Mallaig and Arisaig.

The group is generally subdivided dialectally into its individual islands, though the distinction between the individual Uist islands is less clear.
