==Introduction==
==Introduction==
<p><b>Ædhige</b> is a Celtic language of the Indo-European language family originating on the Ædan Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean.  It is spoken by the Ædhici,  a group of around 300,000 people living mostly on Ædan Mhur ('<i>big island</i>') and Ædan Mhic ('<i>little island</i>') - the two largest islands in the archipelago.</p><p> Over the centuries the language has been influenced by other Celtic languages - namely Irish due to its proximity to the islands; and Germanic languages - namely Old Norse and English.</p>
<p><b>Ædhige</b> is a Celtic language of the Indo-European language family originating on the Ædan Islands in the North Atlantic Ocean.  It is spoken by the Ædhici,  a group of around 1.2 million people.  The majority live on the four biggest islands: <b>Ædan Mhur</b> ('<i>big island</i>'), <b>Ædan Mhic</b> ('<i>little island</i>'), <b>Læchem</b> (from the Old Ædhige for 'mines by the lake'), and <b>Ædan Lhua</b> ('<i>sun island</i>'), although the archipelago has another 10 smaller inhabited islands, all with populations of under 50 people.</p><p> The language can trace its roots to Proto-Celtic but due to the isolated location of the archipelago from the rest of Europe, Ædhige became a distinct language in the first century CE.  Over the centuries the language has been influenced by other Celtic languages - namely Irish due to its proximity to the islands; and Germanic languages - namely Old Norse and English.</p>
