Gaelic could be Scottish Gaelic and Irish is Irish Gaelic? I'm not sure but there maybe a Welsh Gaelic too.

Gaelic football (Irish: peil ghaelach), commonly referred to as "football", "Gaelic" or "GAA ('gah')", is a form of football played mainly in Ireland. Teams of 15 players kick or hand pass a ball around a grass pitch towards each others goals to either score a point over the bar or goal. Gaelic football is one of four Gaelic sports run by the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA).\n\nAt first glance Gaelic Football resembles a combination of soccer and rugby, and is similar to Australian rules football. Players advance the ball up the field with a combination of carrying, soloing (dropping and then toe-kicking the ball upward into the hands), kicking, and hand-passing to their team-mates. Points are scored by striking the ball either above or below the horizontal bar of the "H"-shaped goalposts (see scoring).\n\nFans enjoy the high speed with which the ball is moved and frequent scoring, the many different ways to deliver the ball, and the unpredictable nature of the game.

Both sports are Irish national sports.  Gaelic football is played with a round ball where two teams try to kick the ball into a soccer style net or between four tall posts to score points.  The sport has a wide range of skills from catching, kicking, carrying and throwing.\n\nHurling is similar to la cross or hockey where players have a stick with a curved indentation on the end for scooping the ball up.  The ball is small and hard.  As with Gaelic the objective is to score goals.  Much freer then hockey it allows use of the hands for catching and throwing as well as use of the stick.

Read out loud these words:\n\n"No."\n\n"No!"\n\n"No?"\n\nThe difference between these is tone. Now, imagine a language where these three words meant something totally different, not just different nuances on the same original word. Imagine for example that the first meant "horse", the second meant "house" and the third meant "big". Well, that's a tonal language.\n\nAside from many oriental languages, some European ones are tonal, too. For example, Norwegian.

They both are Indo-Aryan languages but they belong to different subbranches. So hence, they are different languages.

Since most Europeans are considered the same race (Caucasian), nationalities tend to be divided up by language root and not necessarily by biologically traceable ethnicity.  English is not just a Germanic language. Because the British Isles have been conquered, invaded, and resettled so many times in the last 3000 years, English has Celtic, Gaelic, French, Nordic (Viking) and Latin included as well, which makes it its own unique linguistic category.  Most other European tongues have remained nearly unchanged for centuries, such as Czech, Finnish, and Portuguese.
