Well done, uploader, now everyone thinks the narration is in Gaelic when it's not. PEOPLE: the only Gaelic in this video is the female voice interviewing in the streets. The rest is Flemish (Belgian Dutch) or English.
Scotish, Irish..English... you are all the same to me !! You all come from Norman people, who invaded the Brit. island !! And that means, that actualy all of your " three roots"; English, Sctottish and Irish are actualy Norwegian, or Danish !!!!!
The Irish language has been under assault from the Anglo-Saxons and Normans since approx 1166. No wonder it is a minority language! It is a great language, more native Irish should speak it.
"The Irish are born with hatred to the English, and with good damn reason." This is a negative stereotype. Only people like the man in the video are the ones that give you a reason to dislike them. There are lots of nice English people who don't even care about this stuff. Some of which would even like Ireland to preserve the language. Don't judge people by a name, title nor group. Only hate them if you have reason to. Go raibh m'agat.
I think it was the cannerbury tales and beowulf I read in my Brit literature class..the original writing was a real real old english that the anglo saxons spoke. it was an english that people today wouldnt understand. Did gaelic branch off that language too cause it sounds like it?
@JorisKanters Because this is a news report from Flemish television... The uploader should have mentioned it in the title... and should have recorded it better
Irish is such a lovely language, I would love for Ireland to give the English language the boot. There's already enough parts of the world speaking English, Irish in unique and wonderful.
This language should be spoken in Galicia, Spain which is were it originated. The Irish people are from Galicia, Spain, Galicia means the land of the gaelic people. The people of Galicia do speak Galego which seems to be a mixture of Gaelic and Spanish, Gaelic the traditional language of the region should be taught.
I will not allow the Irish language to die. I am a college bound american youth proud of my heritage and I will return to the land of my ancestors and hel bring irish back. From what I can see with the hugely supported Gaelscoilanna (all Irish speaking schools) the language is making a comeback and will become (eventually) the community language of Ireland again. I will make sure of it personally. What many of you are saying is right: it's just a stupid attitude that is hurting the language.

@handofnergal Best case scenario's for preserving languages predict the demise of Irish by 2050, along with 75% of all languages in the world today. Worst case scenario's give a figure of 95%. There are already some voices even where I live to just make the make everyday language English. The planet gets smaller and smaller and these are the side effects. This would be a pity from a lot of perspectives, not in the least the Sapir-Worf hypothesis. Only one upside: we all understand one another.
I love Irish. My fathers main language is Gaelic, however he speaks old Gaelic, which i'm not sure how different it is. I'm currently trying to learn it but it i find it very hard to read and write it.
The first part of this film is stupid, just because 2 people or 2000 people do not respond to a question in local language or in a dialect, it does not mean that the many Irish that do understand do not exist, there are people in every city and country who nominally speak the same language but they can hardly understand each other. There are 10 of thousands who do speak Celtic languages worldwide including my own gaelic from Scotland. Bliandha mhath úr gu càirdean ann an Eireann
Che triste... e questo succederà a tutte le nostre lingue. Tutte spariranno sotto l'inglese.
Una medicina c'è e si chiama esperanto. Ma la gente ha paura, perché non lo conosce, perché vuole restare ignorante, perché preferisce fare come gli viene imposto.
@cicciontek L'esperanto non è la risposta, Esperanto non proviene dalla cultura e patrimonio, non è lo stesso come l'italiano e in questo caso Gaelico, non è necessario perdere la tua anima, quando non tutti parlano la stessa lingua ci guadagno di più da diversità, la lingua Gaelica è bella è anche la lingua Italiana. Non è necessario essere triste per il Gaelico è sopravvissuto per oltre 2000 anni e che sopravviverà per altri 1000 ..
@Eadailteach L'esperanto è la risposta, le lingue si stanno estinguendo ad un ritmo altissimo.
Lo spero proprio che il gaelico sopravviverà per 1000 anni, ma in irlanda non lo conosce quasi nessuno, alla radio chiedono agli irlandesi: Come si dice naso in gaelico? e loro non lo sanno...
Bisogna avere una lingua ponte invece di imparare tutti l'inglese linguicida.
@cicciontek La prima parte di questo film è stupido, solo perchè 2 persone o 2000 persone non rispondono a una domanda in lingua locale o in un dialetto, ciò non significa che i molti irlandesi che capiscono che non esistono, ci sono persone in ogni città e il paese che nominalmente parlano la stessa lingua, ma essi non riescono a capirsi. Ci sono 10 di migliaia di persone che parlano lingue celtiche compreso il mio Gaelico proprio dalla Scozia. A proposito ..il naso = An t-sròn (Alba).
@Eadailteach Forse conosci anche quel film corto del cinese che va in Irlanda. Sia chiaro, io sto dalla parte delle lingue minori e ovviamente del gaelico anche. Solo che a differenza di te io credo davvero che l'esperanto possa aiutare, e lo dico dopo che l'ho imparato non dopo averne sentito parlare. Poi non voglio convincerti per forza e nemmeno io sono chissacchì per dirlo per certo.
@Eadailteach in ogni caso, il film e' questo /watch?v=RHXrk0x84Xo ... attaccalo all-ultima parte del indirizzo web. oppure cerca: Yu Ming gaelic ... notte :)
@cicciontek bene. un ragazzo cinese viaggia a Irlanda già si parla gaelico irlandese e trova dublino il 99% inglesi e nessuno lo capisce e poi viaggia verso ovest e trovare il paradiso gaelico. Penso che questo film parla di un dibattito culturale irlandese, grande città moderna nei confronti di un passato rurale ideale,
divertente ma inutile, come ho detto ho capito l'argomento per l'esperanto, ma per la salvaguardia delle lingue indigene di scarsa utilità.
@Eadailteach Il succo è questo. se per la comunicazione internazionale uso l'ingl, devo usare film, libri, musica in inglese e viaggiare verso nazioni ingl. Conviene scrivere-produrre film e musica in ingl. perdendo un poco di cult propria.
Se uso l'esp, che è facile e si impara in 2 mesi, allora poi sono libero dal peso dell'apprendimento, e parlo la mia lingua a casa e non devo insegnarla all'asilo a mio figlio. E tra 40 anni a Roma si parlerà italiano, al contrario di Dublino... è democrazia
@cicciontek Ma non credo che vedremo inglese sostituito come lingua internazionale del discorso nel mondo della politica e dell'economia, ecc, questa è la realtà. Ho abitato e lavorato negli anni '90 in Italia., e anche se ho voluto imparare e migliorare il mio italiano, amici e colleghi di lavoro volevano migliorare il loro inglese, questa è la realtà. L'inglese è la mia seconda lingua , italiano come il mio terzo (perso molto), sto imparando spagnolo, l'esperanto? Devo comprare un libro.
@Eadailteach Complimenti per il tuo italiano... diciamo solo che invece di comprare un libro, ti basta cercare su google. E forse il "kurso de esperanto" in 26 lingue (13 Mb contro le centinaia per un'altra lingua) è anche il gaelico. Se no, aspettiamo che qualcuno lo tradurrà, magari se tra un annetto vorrai farlo... :) ciao

@libertycaps666 hahahah Irish man. calm down. don't you know irish either, ha? 8D It's ok it is not a problem. Don't worry.. you are still an irish.. xD
@qqq1985 i aint no nigger dickhead, so stop talking shit about my country or i will personally track you down to that shithole nepal and rape your mother you prick
I'm American but, my heritage is Irish. I don't know why, but everytime I see an irish word or hear Celtic music, I think Froddo from the Lord of the Rings. Haha. I want to speak Gaelic.
They come over to Ireland and do a documentry on Irish and ask an English wanker to give his opinion? fucking ejits why didn they talk to Hector or somone positive about the tongue.
My grandmother spoke "original Celtic Irish". Todays Irish language is far removed from what my grandmother spoke and far removed from the old Celtic Irish I learned at school.
Irish is no longer our national language. English is our national language. Irish is our historic language and only used in gaelteacht areas.
How many air traffic controllers etc, converse in cupla focal when talking an aircraft down.
Irish is out historic language. So is Scots Gaelic and Welsh Gaelic.
@goinghomesomeday1 Sure ppl of the Gaeltachtaí, Gaelscoileanna, & Irish-language media like Beo, TG4 & Radió na Life wld disagree w/u there. Just cuz you don't speak it & it's not ever-present in your town doesn't mean it's not alive & kicking. Maybe if you travel around da island a bit u'd understand that better.
And btw:
1) Welsh (not "Welsh Gaelic"...that's retarded) is still very much alive & well, too.
2) All 6 Celtic languages are being taught in schools again & have native speakers now.
The bloke reckons a tenth of Irish ppl regularly speak Irish, what does that tell you about the passion commitment blah blah, and all the rest of the clichés they aspire to, of the other 9/10s?
Oooh neilhosey, you said exactly what I wanted to say!! HA, thank you! I'm from the U.S. and frankly, couldn't agree more. Like hell it's not worth preserving. Assface.
It doesn't matter what this man says. If the Irish have a will to revive their language, they can achieve that. No one else can make up that decision for them.
Hebrew made a come-back in Israel and aficionados of Esperanto can be found all over the world and Esperanto is not even a historic language.
I think it's funny that some people say Irish is beautiful and others say it sounds like Dutch. No offense to the Dutch, but Dutch is not easy on the ears. I like the sound of Irish much more
@WeaponX2007A DUTCH???? wow...no idea wich kind of dutch u heard then....I'm from holland....Maybe if u have an other diaclect out of holland like south neer to belgium or northern...it's eassier.....but with my amsterdams accent i cant follow it...
Please don't tar all the Irish in Britain with the same brush just cos of kevin myers. I am from London and my parents are native Irish speakers from connemara. I love the Irish language, I just think it's a shame the second generation Irish in UK weren't encouraged to learn it, even though we're Irish citizens.
Oh yeh Kevin Myers, just the man you want for a balanced report. "noone speaks Irish" - I speak Irish every day. It's true most people use English, but then most of the world speaks Chinese it doesn't mean English or French is dead
The EU is meant to be countries respecting each other not domination by Dutch/German /English etc. Wars and are caused by Foreigners going to other countries and imposing their way on others. Can you say " Flamms fur Alles , Alles fur Flandren " or should Dutch be finished as a minority Language in Europe.
Ireland and Scotland had better stand up loud and proud!!! Throw down on their Engish oppressors. America has had multiculturalism shoved down our throats to the point where we have NO CULTURE.
What a prick!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hes just a posh English Sounding get!!! Just the type of person In england who is anti welsh, gaelic, scots tyke, Lanky Northumbrian cornish etc. The anouying folk who think everyone should speak "queens/standard english" all day every day. "warr'a ruddy naffin' numpty"!!!!
Let me be bold. Fuck this. I am a Serb living in Canada. I know Serbian and English. You've gotta read up on philology to appreciate why a language should be preserved.
@R32SKYLINEBWD ...Gaeilge is the standard term for Irish but In Munster they cling to their traditional Gaedhealaing (prncd Gael-linn) and in Ulster it's all GAELIC (Gaeilic in the dictionary) and they teach same in the schools there! I have gone to Scotland to learn Gaidhlig and hope to go again. Is beatha teanga í a labhairt. Why let diversity bother you?
Gaelic is a nice language and e.g. german speakers can pronounce the words correctly. Too bad that it is a rather difficult language (all this lenition, eclipse and strange grammar...), maybe thats one reason why this language is not so polular...but it doesnt deserve extinction anyway.
Its too bad that the Irish don't preserve their language. For a nation to remain they need to protect their Borders, language and culture. The Irish are too "multicultural". Nations that become too multicultural lose their own culture and language, while they embrace the culture of Aliens. Its sad and Pathetic.
There's no such thing as being "too multicultural". There are many countries and societies that are multicultural and still preserve their indigenous culture and practices. The US is a good example.
A wise friend of mine once said, that culture is a dangerous delusion. I think that this is essentially true. The only sane culture, is culture on the individual scale, or in other words, the aesthetic.
@JayAntoinette The US is a Bad example. We have to embrace the cultures of those that are coming here such as the Mexicans and Muslims and we have to be "sensitive" to their ways all at the same time they spit on our flag and never learn our language. America is so multicultural that she has practically lost her culture ( Pop culture and Hollywood and the like is a pseudo form of American culture)
@shgibby61981 That's absurd. It's been a minority language since the 19th century, mainly because of British suppression. Until 1871 Irish was forbidden to be taught in state education, and efforts to reintroduce it have only been made by the free Irish state. The Welsh had a similar measure.. the 'Welsh Not'. As far as I see it, colonialist policies abroad broke the back of language and culture abroad in the past, not 'multiculturalism'. Agreeing with JayAntoinette, the US is a great example.
@korisx The documentary is dutch or something, the only Irish spoken is the lady asking the question,..and barely audible. You can't really here it on this
my grandparents spoke gaelic.. i wish they tought us.. they just wanted us to speak english when they came over to Boston(irish) and Nova Scotia(scottish) .. yeah ima mutt and watt
itunes used to have a decent audiobook called "Pimsleurs Irish." it's a publishing firm that also has german, arabic, and many of the more popular languages. it's unfortunate that irish isn't more popular here in the states. even the boston area doesn't have much to offer in the way of it's cultural heritage beyond the colonial era.
Cause they haven't got the backbone to stand up and fight for their own language. They have their own education system and parliament but Gaelic is generally regarded as a redundant language. And guess what, they still have nerve to dress up in medievel costumes and call themselves Celts!
Now saying that puts you in a rather awkward position, you either misunderstood my comment or don't know what sarcasm is.
This is like saying its "Its freezing in the south pole" and tell people you are being sarcastic. Its just not sarcasm, especially since what you said is true, but I will tell you one thing your comment was very dry.
Sorry man. I just looked back and realised that I may have misunderstood your original comment. Your point about Scots switching between English and Scottish is a good one.
I strongly feel that this report is bias, unfair and deliberately targeted towards making people believe that hardly anybody in the country speaks our native language Gaeilge.
I myself speak the language, as well as my son and hundreds more I personally know throughout the country.
My father at 16 didnt speak a word of English until he went to England to work back in the 50s. I was taught through Gaeilge, my text books were in Gaelige and I am not from a large strong Gealtacht.
I live in London now and when I meet anybody from Eire who has Irish and there are quite a few it becomes our language of choice in our conversations.
The producers of this joke of a report would have known from their research the vast area in this country that do speak Gaeilge, and choose to go to the biggest area that doesnt speak Gaeilge. Even today in my parish at home there are children who start school at four years old who do not speak English, they learn it at school.
The producers of this report should be made to recognize that the reason only a third of our population can speak our language is not due to cultural
ignorance on our behalf but because of the English spending hundreds of years trying to kill it along with our culture. The best way to eradicate the Irish problem was to eradicate the Irish language and culture.
They saw the Irish famine as a blessing and a mean to kill our language through death, immigration and submission through the soup kitchens where in many cases the Irish could only receive food if they stop speaking Irish and changed their names in to English.
Many a time Ive been in Dublin where this report was made and was on public transport were strangers beside me are talking in Irish to each other or on the phone.
If only the report had went west. No harm to the east coast but you must remember our history, after Cromwell killed more people in Ireland that the famine and immigration combined, he then deported another 500,000 more and the English then evicted nearly the entire east cost population and moved them west across the Shannon,
so they were contain and settled at the east coast, bring in their langage. That is one of the reasons why there are very few Gaeilge speaking areas on the east coast, where this report was filmed.
How would the Dutch feel if we went over there and made a bias report saying that 90% of the population in the Netherlands smoked marijuana and the porn and red light districts are in every area, by just filming the report in the areas where these activaties are happening.
If the decline of Irish is the Brits' fault, how come the reGaelification of ireland since the 1920's has been such a flop? Deep down, I fear that the Irish simply don't feel the need for it, and have a ready made excuse for not learning it.
When the interviewer met Irish speakers they would have laughed at her horrible South Dublin, faux American accent. She couldn't even pronounce the words correctly. As an Irish speaker I can only say that she was pretty much speaking gibberish. The only person worse is Kevin "WWI-ILoveTheQueen- Lets join the Commonwealth" Myers. What an English cunt! Oh yeah, fuck of Holland, you German cunts. I would say mind your own business but you're the next country for Anglo-Saxon assimilation.
Latin is a dead language too, but there ARE some ppl that still learn it. i mean, me and my bf wanna learn Gaelic, and i'm sure other ppl do too. it's never too late to revive a language. (:
Don't get angry with Myers who does reflect a lot of the same sentiment in Ireland. Instead you should resolve to learn as much of your language as possible. Scots Gaelic or Irish.. Go n-eiri libh..
If more people don't speak the indigenous language of Ireland it's only because the English and puppets like Kevin Myers have done everything they can for 8 centuries to destroy it. And then they have the nerve to say it's a "dead language." Well, Kev...you better think again...
The decline of the language had nothing to do with the british rule. The brittish rule strenghtened the language, Irish politicians, the clery and the national school system were the main contributers to the decline. Stop blaming the English for something that happened years ago and does not effect us in any way today. And by the way, Thainig ar la, ta siochan againn anois, nach bhfuil se sin go leor duit?
HMM, just a while ago I stated over a debate that the English have changed the culture and language of every place they ever "visited" and called it theirs.....
Sadly, Kevin Myers is only echoing the opinion of the vast majority of Irish people who see it as a pointless irrelevant language whose sole purpose is to provide cushy made-up jobs for the middle class elite.
Kevin Myers is a total cunt! He has NO time for Ireland OR Scotland, Ireland being a country on which he feels he has the right to comment on over Irish born people just because his parents were Irish and Scotland who he regards as 'the laziest nation in Europe, completely dependent on England and a country where only a minority of the people work'
WHY are they taking the opinion of a man who clearly has NO time for Celtic culture or anything which isn't 'British'.
kevin myers is a CUNT.. totally anti anything got to do with being irish.. hes not even from ireland, hes english!! why the fuck does he get an opinion on this??? hes a cunt whose famous for being a cunt.
@neilhosey 'Cause he's a douchebag who wants to promote the world speaking only English. It's a workin' language. Its a livin' language if its used. Fuck, people speak Esperanto and that's made up of a buncha languages.
@gohodohji Yes, a white person not liking a white person is o so racist. I might as well wear the white cloak and go around hating white people.
I hate the English because there is not one English i have met that was not a complete cunt to me. And I live in America. Obviously I am in the IRA, being in America.

Penso che questo film parla di un dibattito culturale irlandese, grande città moderna nei confronti di un passato rurale ideale,
divertente ma inutile, come ho detto ho capito l'argomento per l'esperanto, ma per la salvaguardia delle lingue indigene di scarsa utilità.

@Eadailteach Il succo è questo. se per la comunicazione internazionale uso l'ingl, devo usare film, libri, musica in inglese e viaggiare verso nazioni ingl. Conviene scrivere-produrre film e musica in ingl. perdendo un poco di cult propria.
Se uso l'esp, che è facile e si impara in 2 mesi, allora poi sono libero dal peso dell'apprendimento, e parlo la mia lingua a casa e non devo insegnarla all'asilo a mio figlio. E tra 40 anni a Roma si parlerà italiano, al contrario di Dublino... è democrazia

@cicciontek Ma non credo che vedremo inglese sostituito come lingua internazionale del discorso nel mondo della politica e dell'economia, ecc, questa è la realtà. Ho abitato e lavorato negli anni '90 in Italia., e anche se ho voluto imparare e migliorare il mio italiano, amici e colleghi di lavoro volevano migliorare il loro inglese, questa è la realtà. L'inglese è la mia seconda lingua , italiano come il mio terzo (perso molto), sto imparando spagnolo, l'esperanto? Devo comprare un libro.

@Eadailteach Complimenti per il tuo italiano... diciamo solo che invece di comprare un libro, ti basta cercare su google. E forse il "kurso de esperanto" in 26 lingue (13 Mb contro le centinaia per un'altra lingua) è anche il gaelico. Se no, aspettiamo che qualcuno lo tradurrà, magari se tra un annetto vorrai farlo... :) ciao

Irish is no longer our national language. English is our national language. Irish is our historic language and only used in gaelteacht areas.

Its too bad that the Irish don't preserve their language. For a nation to remain they need to protect their Borders, language and culture. The Irish are too "multicultural". Nations that become too multicultural lose their own culture and language, while they embrace the culture of Aliens. Its sad and Pathetic.

There's no such thing as being "too multicultural". There are many countries and societies that are multicultural and still preserve their indigenous culture and practices. The US is a good example.

shgibby61981 1 year ago
@shgibby61981 That's absurd. It's been a minority language since the 19th century, mainly because of British suppression. Until 1871 Irish was forbidden to be taught in state education, and efforts to reintroduce it have only been made by the free Irish state. The Welsh had a similar measure.. the 'Welsh Not'. As far as I see it, colonialist policies abroad broke the back of language and culture abroad in the past, not 'multiculturalism'. Agreeing with JayAntoinette, the US is a great example.

I myself speak the language, as well as my son and hundreds more I personally know throughout the country.
My father at 16 didnt speak a word of English until he went to England to work back in the 50s. I was taught through Gaeilge, my text books were in Gaelige and I am not from a large strong Gealtacht.
I live in London now and when I meet anybody from Eire who has Irish and there are quite a few it becomes our language of choice in our conversations.

ignorance on our behalf but because of the English spending hundreds of years trying to kill it along with our culture. The best way to eradicate the Irish problem was to eradicate the Irish language and culture.
They saw the Irish famine as a blessing and a mean to kill our language through death, immigration and submission through the soup kitchens where in many cases the Irish could only receive food if they stop speaking Irish and changed their names in to English.

Many a time Ive been in Dublin where this report was made and was on public transport were strangers beside me are talking in Irish to each other or on the phone.
If only the report had went west. No harm to the east coast but you must remember our history, after Cromwell killed more people in Ireland that the famine and immigration combined, he then deported another 500,000 more and the English then evicted nearly the entire east cost population and moved them west across the Shannon,

so they were contain and settled at the east coast, bring in their langage. That is one of the reasons why there are very few Gaeilge speaking areas on the east coast, where this report was filmed.
How would the Dutch feel if we went over there and made a bias report saying that 90% of the population in the Netherlands smoked marijuana and the porn and red light districts are in every area, by just filming the report in the areas where these activaties are happening.

If the decline of Irish is the Brits' fault, how come the reGaelification of ireland since the 1920's has been such a flop? Deep down, I fear that the Irish simply don't feel the need for it, and have a ready made excuse for not learning it.
