The Donegal Gaeltacht encompasses a geographical area of {{convert|1502|km²|abbr=on}}. This represents 26% of total Gaeltacht land area. The three parishes of [[the Rosses]], [[Gweedore]] and [[Cloughaneely]] constitute the main centre of population of the Donegal Gaeltacht. There are over 17,132 Irish speakers, 14,500 in areas where it is spoken by 30–100% of the population and 2,500 in areas where it is spoken by less than 30%. In 2006 there were 2,436 people employed in a full-time capacity in [[Údarás na Gaeltachta]] client companies in the Donegal Gaeltacht. This region is particularly popular with students of the [[Ulster Irish|Ulster dialect]]; each year thousands of students visit the area from [[Northern Ireland]]. Donegal is unique in the Gaeltacht regions, as its accent and dialect is unmistakably northern in character. The language has many similarities with Scottish Gaelic, which are not evident in other Irish dialects.
