I believe "Slainte" is spelled the same in Irish and Scottish, but the second word of the first part of the toast is different. In Scottish, it's "mor" (pronounced "vor" because it follows a vowel... how they get "v" from "m" is way beyond me *rolls eyes* LOL). The Scottish one is different because it was a code back during the time of Bonnie Prince Charlie. His supporters would say "vor" ("mor") to differentiate themselves from the Irish. *shrug* My bf was big time into his Scottish heritage... to the point of making fun of my Irish heritage (Clan Mears, bay-bee!).

I don't plan on trying to pick up any more languages, except possibly written Hebrew. I doubt I will ever try to learn to speak it.
