Fancy a trip to a UNESCO dual world heritage site during the lockdown? Let Animesh Biswas be your guide, as Island Voices add to their list of “Other Tongues”, with “Seatrek to St Kilda” (Bangla version):

One of many emerging ironies of the current critical situation – when we come to look back on it – may relate to how physical immobilisation led to the further thinning of cultural and linguistic boundaries in virtual space. (Is Bangla a local “community” language when the linguistic material is sourced in West Bengal and the content relates to the Outer Hebrides?)
Hmm, perhaps the jury’s still out, given that the personal link out of which the above material sprang was made before lockdown at a real-life conference in Shillong, not far across the border from Sylhet – marked on International Mother Language Day in the SFC’s EDI-themed blog:

Anyway, all it takes (physically) is a mobile phone, so the broader “sharing Gaelic voices” point still stands, and the invitation remains open...
