Which Gaelic? Irish, Scottish or Manx?
The Scottish Gaelic is "Soraidh leat" or "Soraidh leibh" if talking to
more than one person.

The Irish is similar. `Sl�n' on its own is used fairly informally,
but to be formally correct:
Sl�n leat - if talking to one
Sl�n libh - if talking to many

| 1097.8 | origin of "slan" | SIOG::HANLON | | Mon Jul 13 1992 12:17 | 9 |
| The literal meaning of slan is "safe". I think slan on its own is
an abbreviation of "slan abhaile", or "safe home". In other words,
"good luck to ye, and I hope you get home safely", which is a form
of a farewell!
... Tony.
BTW, how do you put the fada thingee on the a ?

To type `a' fada, using my vt340 terminal:
Hit the <compose_character> key, followed by the <a> key, followed
by the <'> key.
Good luck!
