I dont wanna sound dumb, but I thought Irish people spoke English? Isent this Gaelic or the old Irish language or something like that? Either way it sounds cool! lol
Yes, the Irish have a language. The people of Ireland speak English in somewhat the way the people of Guam speak English....does that make some sense, or more confusing?
@GuamKomudo (I see that your comment is a year old, and maybe in that time you've learnt a bit more about it, I don't know..) but, the Irish language never went away, there is an 'old irish' language, just as there is an old english language, but irish is still spoken today, and a year ago when you wrote that comment!!
There are plenty of books on amazon for self teaching, but Irish people learn it at school, if they don't speak it at home.
@GuamKomudo Kind of, but Irish Gaelic and English are the two official languages of Ireland, there are lots of university courses taught just in irish, and plenty of schools etc. Its an official language.
@GuamKomudo That's what I was trying to get at before when I said "they speak English in somewhat the way the people of Guam speak English." It is in someways a resurrected language because even though it never died, it got close enough that it's acquiring many of the same features, because natural transmission is severely limited, and often overpowered by instruction and pressures from non-native speakers.

Kinda like Hawaiian or (Where I'm from Guam) We have our languages, but the "Offiicial" Language of Guam is English. That kinda deal?
