//Còmhla// is a wiki-based, online community for anyone who has a stake or interest in Gaelic linguistics and/or corpus planning.

The aims of //Còmhla// include, but are not restricted to, the following:
 * to collaboratively author a free, comprehensive descriptive grammar of contemporary Gaelic, including sociolinguistic information (dialectal, historical and register variation).
 * where grammatical/lexical/orthographical variation exists, to consensually formulate clear, principled guidelines as to what should constitute "standard formal Gaelic", for use in official situations.
 * to create a "community of practice" for both Gaelic language professionals working in fields such as broadcasting, publishing, education, academia and government, and for Gaelic learners and enthusiasts - a space where they can come together to share and develop their practice, and to simultaneously make a valuable contribution to Gaelic revitalisation.
 * to inform and support the work of an official, independent [|Gaelic Language Academy].

//Còmhla// is run by Glasgow University's [|Celtic and Gaelic] department, in collaboration with the [|Soillse] national research network for Gaelic language planning. The organisers gratefully acknowledge the assistance and advice they have received from the following Gaelic stakeholder organisations: Bòrd na Gàidhlig, BBC Scotland, MG Alba, Deiseal Ltd, Clì Gàidhlig, [|Akerbeltz], The Scotsman, Learning and Teaching Scotland, the Scottish Qualifications Agency, the General Teaching Council for Scotland, Stòrlann and Comhairle nan Leabhraichean.
