Some of those vowels marked with a fada did not sound long to me. It looks like standardized orthography doesn't reflect actual phonetics any better in Irish than it does in English.
@Sotanta01.. I didn't realize anyone spoke Manx any more. Is there much interest in the language in Man?
@lesorciercalifornien Manx is spoken to varying degrees by about 1,700 people. Not many I know, but still it is increasing. I myself am from Ireland but learnt Manx several years ago and am in constant contact with Coonseil ny Gaelgey (Manx version of Foras na Gaeilge) and the Manx language officer (Yn Greinneyder). Regarding the fadas in Irish - they are based on the standard dialect (lárchanúint) - other dialects will differ in pronunciation which is why you'll get oddities such as above.

the most obviously ulster trait of louth irish is the use of "cha" (past: char) instead of "ní" (past: níor) as the negative particle. It pertained in most Ulster dialect, save southern Donegal and the southwest of the province. The pronunciation of broad "bh" and "mh" as a "w" is not found in more southern dialects. Dropping the "ch" sound is another Ulster characteristic (eg. bearach). He aspirates "air an fhéar" (southern: "air an bhféar"). "Goidé" (S "cad" or "céard") "leaobhtha" (S "leo")

@Huldumavur all the dialects differ.too short message put basically; Say all of Ireland/Scotland still spoke a Gaelic language fluently; there would be a linguistic.development starting in say, south west Ireland. The Further you would go up the West coast, the closer it gets to Donegal Irish. up the east coast,the closer it would get to Antrim Irish.

Well, I'm not sure about 'Old-', but when it comes to 'Modern'-, Yes.
The Goidelic languages have been around in Western-Europe longer than the Germanic Languages; and Modern Irish has a more archaic grammar than Modern English, so I would definately say, Irish is more 'ancient' than English.
The early Germanic languages have been around just as long as Goidelic languages, and just because some languages might use an older grammar in them doesn't make them older. There's a tendency to over-romanticise the Irish language but the problem with that is that it gives people the wrong information. All languages evolve and change through history. The roots of Anglo Saxon are just as "ancient" as the roots of Irish.
Well, they've not been around in Western Europe as long as the Goidelic languages, but yeah, we tend to over-romanticise marginalized and extinct languages :)

@soloasdubh interesting you say char and ni used in irish gaelic dialects. Scottish gaelic uses (chan nil) as a negitive particle.
