This sounds a lot like Faroese, I wonder if my Icelandic sounds anything like this. Icelandic and English used to be the same language a thousand years ago, and hearing Gaelic I can't but think how much it sounds like the languages spoken in the Nordic countries (Scandinavia).

Dear Nomadic Born Again Pagan Celts of the Free World, lets celebrate (((March 17th))) as (((Celtic Pagan Liberation Day))), Wear all Green if you a Proud to be a Born Again Pagan Celt!
The Druid Government of Gaul has spoken the Brehon Laws in Gaelic since the Ice Age, which is linguistically much older than the Hebrew that Adam and Eve have spoken in their Foreign Mythology. A HAND CARVED IVORY WOOLLY MAMMOTH which has just been found in Ancient Gaul has been carbon dated to be 35,000 years old. Modern Druids who do not study Gaelic or the Berhon Laws will jeopardize their credibility.
Today Druids are strongly encouraged to pursue EU law using the Brehon Laws as their foundation, so mankind is able to escape its mental bondage and begin to Explore the Heavens and Colonize other Worlds
Wow -- please give any reason why this isn't utter nonsense. "Paleo-Hebrew" or any Semitic language is built nearly 100% on triliteral roots, of which any form of Gaelic has exactly zero. The formation of verbs, nouns, in fact all parts of speech in the two language families are as different as they could possibly be. Please give evidence to the contrary, if you have any. Please give a single sentence or phrase from each that suggests real historical relationship. Good luck.
It's not a dead language but the majority cannot speak it and have no interest in learning Irish so it should not be compulsory in schools. The decision to abandon Irish was made by a previous generation, probably for economic reasons. To say it is Irelands national language is being disingenuous. It is a minority language in Ireland and the interest is just not there. About 50% of Irish people claim to be able to speak it but when pushed, they can't.
Dear born again Pagan Celts: The Princes of (Ui Fiachrach / Hy Fiachrach) is calling for all Druids from around the world to help save our ancestors Royal Grove (The Hill of Tara) from the M3. This can be done by sending a protest E mail to the EU Environment Commissioner at: stavros.dimas@ec.europa.eu or a letter to UNESCO at - Europe and North America Unit, World Heritage Centre, UNESCO, 7 place de Fontenoy 75352 Paris 07SP, France.
King Lóegaire remained a proud Celtic Druid who refused to become a trader and worship Constantine's new elected God who was a foreign dead man from the Middle East. King Loegaire defended his Druid Government and stood behind these words with strong confidence (QUIA UTUNTUR GENTILES IN SEPULCRIS ARMATI PRUMPTIS ARMIS) face to face until the day of ERDATHE as the Druids say.
The Princes of Ui Fiachrach international Clan rally welcomes the next generation of Celtic Druids who wish to help preserve King Daithi's ancient Druid traditions of our ancestors, under the Druid's Brehon Laws. Born Again Pagan Celts are welcome to help resurrect the next spiritual revival of our Celtic Druid ancestors at the Hill of Tara's Royal Grove. Our objective is to stay true to King Daithi's royal Druid traditions of our Indo European ancestors.
this is so cool! I have no idea what she's saying. I really want to learn gaelic even more now XP. its such an interesting sounding language. does anyone know what she's saying?
I hear the characteristics from Chinese, French, English, and a whole bunch of other languages coming from this woman’s mouth. This language is awesome!
I'm supprised at some of you. LIke English, its something you have to practice when your old enough to speak. Some of you are treating it like a taboo language. But then some of you call yourselves Irish Catholics. Join the modern world people.
I don't mean this in a racist way or an attack on Irish accents, but it sounds so much more natural when Irish people speak Gaelic rather than English.
@methanedirigible If a Japanese baby was raised by Irish that spoke Gaelic, she would speak it just as well as any Irish person could. This applies to any and all human languages.
The Irish language is called Gaeilge, not Gaelic. Gaelic is the Umbrella which most Gallic originated languages (brittanic, saxon, welsh etc) are called.
Gallic actually refers to the Celtic peoples which once lived in France. Gaelic is a term used to describe Irish, Scottish and Manx but not Welsh. Brythonic is used to describe Welsh, along with Cornish and Breton. Gaelic languages are cousin to Brythonic languages as they all descend from proto-Celtic, a long lost ancestor language of them all.
But actual Irish people don't call it that; in fact they're mildly irritated when people call it that. They call it "Irish", to distinguish it from the Scottish, which is on the same branch of the linguistic tree, but different enough to be a distinctive dialect.
If it's not too much trouble could someone maybe send me the text of what she's saying? I'm trying to learn Irish and I'm having trouble reading it so I want to see how she says these words and what they look like written!
There are about 50,000 Irish who speak this as their first language; the rest have learned to speak some of it in school.

Gaulish was sort of inbetween the two groups, but primarily shows traits of being a P-Celtic, so its more closely related to Welsh and the like. the term Gaelic comes from an old Welsh word for 'pirate' because Irish pirates raided thewest coast of Britain during Roman occupation.
cailin i'm sorry but Gaelic and Gaulish are not the same at all.

Dear Born Again Pagans on Halloween lets give homage to our Druid ancestors who have died on a million burning crosses for our religious freedoms! Help Save The Hill of Tara from the M3, long live the Celtic Pagan Kings and Druid's Brehon Laws at the Hill of Tara's Royal Grove.
No im feckin not! Gaelic comes from Gallic and the Gauls, who were an ancient Celtic civilisation. Gaelic as a description covers all their descendants eg. Ireland, Scotland etc. We all speak different Gaelic languages, Irish speak Gaeilge, Scots speak gaidglig. All Celtic and Gaelic but individual to their own countries.
It's an Exonym, which is a name for a language, people, country not used by the actually people themselves. like Germany and German are exonyms aswell, because, in Germany they call their country Deustchland, and their language is called deustch.
Nope your wrong jm. Gaelic covers all the Celtic languages. Gaeilge is Irish for Irish. And I wouldn't agree with the posh English accent comment. She probably speaks that way so Irish speakers from all provinces can understand. You can still hear the Ulster twang at times.
no man your wrong bout de gaelic bein related 2 celtic languages. were gaeilic people but speak gaeilge, the gaeilic version of the celtic language brought here naaa mean cuz
Gaelic covers all the Gaelic Languages, not all the Celtic langauges. The Gaelic languages are Manx, Scottish and Irish, but Welsh, Breton and Cornish are Celtic aswell, but are Brythonic languages
How many in Ireland speak Irish Gaelic over English ? i mean theres probably 80% of the irish who have NO idea what shes saying ? Shame...Nice to have accents
gaelic is the english name for the language, culture and sports just everybody here calls it irish instead of gaelic. gaeilge is the irish for irish. ta tusa comh amaideach na psweep anois!
I was got ejected from St Patricks church social hall during st Pats weekend and I cant wait to tell the story to my grandchildren some day. Since then I got proven right in the argument and forgave em all. The year earlier I had comforted a similar outcast by telling him to wear it as a badge of honor. So I took my own advice.
at least she's using it, showing respect to her culture. do you think alex salmond speaks any scots gaelic? i'm sure you'd be complaining if she didn't speak any at all!!!!
But her Irish sounds odd from what I've heard them speak in Lienster, and not even ulster Irish sounds like that.
And I think i would no alot about Irish, considering I'm a native speaker. Gaelgoir.
And In my honest opinion her Irish sounds very, maybe english wasn't the right word. I would say...hmm...it's lacking the lyrical Irish sound, it's very bland and flat, like English. not saying it has a english accent, it just reminds me of english
You are an absoloute tool.Speaking Irish in an English accent is impossible.If you dont believe me try find someone trying to speak Japanese in an irish accent.The language counts for 50% of the accent at least.
Have you heard a French man speak English? Yu'll notice their accent, which stems from their minor mispronouciations. Which is happening, her irish is understandable, but she mispronouces certain words, she seems to have a trouble with dipthongs. she lacks correct innotations.
it is possible to speak Japanese with an English/Irish accent, you make make minor misnouciations & incorrect inotations, since Japanese is a very inotated language it would be easy to have an accent while speaking it.
maybe its not an english accent but a posh dublin one, and sure shes not muintir na haite so shel never sound as good as i assume you sound since you are
The most striking thing about all the Celtic languages is a thing called in Welsh 'treiglad' - initial consonant mutation - they all do it and it is strikingly similar in all of them
So 'Tad' is father but it can appear as 'dad' (long a) 'thad' or 'nhad' (which is the correct way to adress your father)
The vocabulary of Irish and Welsh are very different - but the grammar is amazingly similar
Do all the celtic languages have similar words, sentences, verbs etc.? And if they do is it because they were all part of the same language until they broke apart from eachother. e.g. English,German, French were alltogether one language untill only bits of the languages were take from each country or race as it were and made a whole new one, though still keeping ties to each other.
Most languages in Europe descend from a common root shared with Indian and Iranian languages called Indo-Eurpean
The Celtic branch of this split in two - called Brythonic or - p-celtic and Goidelic or q-celtic - so called because for examplein Welsh (p-celtic) the intial sound of a word like four became a p (pedwar) but in Irish it kept it's original sound (K)
En fait, on dit 'Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam' - Un pays sans langue est un pays sans âme' - Puisque les 2 mots 'ainm' (nom) et 'anam' (âme) ont la même pronunciation, beaucoup de gens font cette erreur :)
Wow, how wonderful!!!! It just sounds so beautiful and complicated. Haha! I think the Irish should speak more of their native Gaelic language, that way a very important part of their culture will never die.
Oh no, Irish people have they're own language just as much as the French or the Germans. English sort of just took over during the Elizabethan times. But no they have they're own language & think still speak it there, there effort to make it more of an official-language
Irish people do speak English, and Irish (gaeilge). Irish survives in what's called "Gaeltachtaí" - which is the Irish speaking regions within Ireland. Mostly on the west coast. It is also a mandatory subject all throughout school.
Irish was the primary language here until Britain colonized it. They removed Irish from education, and when the Irish famine hit - it hit the west coast the hardest, killing 100,000's of Irish speakers, and thus - nearly killing the language altogether.
There are 6 celtic speaking areas in the world. Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Brittany, Cornwall, and Wales. Gaelic isn't a language. Gaidhlig is Scottish Gaelic. Irish is simply called Gaeilge, or Irish in English. Manx Gaelic is called Gaelg.
Irish and Welsh are probably the two strongest languages out of them all - but Scottish Gaelic is very strong on the west coast Islands of Scotland (Hebrides)
Totally right Orthohawk! The people in Galicia (some of them at least) are of Celtic origin, and I'd say 5 to 10 percent of the vocab of Galician is celtic-based... in every day speech however, someone from Portugal speaking Portuguese and someone from Galicia speaking Galician wouldn't have much difficulty understanding one another.
So let me get this straight: If somebody say they speak Irish, is that an acceptable term? Or is it more proper to say Irish Gaelic to refer to the language, or maybe even using its Irish term, Gaeilge?
Gaelic is a generic term that cover's all the Gaelic languages. in the same way that describing someone from Gaelic countries as being Gaelic. Gaeilge is the specific name of the Irish language in the language itself. it is not improper to say Irish as most of us learned the language through English. although the average Irish person is taught Irish for roughly 13/14 years.
My grandmother was full irish and in an attempt to keep me in touch with my heritage attempted to teach me Iish Gaelic but she passed on beforee I learned much so now I am trying to learn about my culture and am trying to learn the language.
This Druid Poem was spoken in Gaelic and was originally posted in AD (THE DRUID TALE) I am the moon, who guards your dreams with care,...And I'm also the sun, who keeps you warm....When happy, I'm the soft breeze through your hair,...But when angry, beware; I am the storm....I am Nature; thus, I am everywhere:
The proudest rock of the highest mountain;...The liveliest leaps of the tiny hare;...The coolest splash of a river's fountain.... I am a Mother; the milk of my breast is the rain that nurtures the farmer's field....My guilt is the snow's flakes, tenderly dressed...To cover the fallows and keep them sealed....
I have given birth to each blade of grass...And guided the paths of each new flower....I bring sleep to souls when it's time to pass...From Lifes minute to Eternity's hour....Th's world is my cradle... treat it with care,...And it will sustain you all of your days...With rain for abundant harvest to share,... a moon's gentle beam, and a sun's bright rays
about or less than 10% speak the language at home as their first language! It depends where you live! generally the western regions!! it's a compulsary subject at school!! i know 3 men who didn't know any english until they were adults because they were from conemara and English was never used!! nowadays i'd imagine that every 1 in Ireland can speak fluent English!! Irish is a beautiful language!! Unfortunately it's not thought well and some students dislike it!!
Today the Hill of Taras Invisible Kingdom is our haplogroups Royal Grove, which protects our ancestors ancient rights under the Druids Brehon Laws. The Druid's Brehon Laws are protected by the Unification of ancient Gaul which is the EU of today and under international law. The Hill of Taras Royal Grove also represents our Celtic Pagan Freedoms of our ancestors nomadic Freedoms on a International scale.
Scottish and Irish are basically the same, since the Irish brought Gaelic to Scotland. But Welsh is pretty much an entirely separate language, since Gaelic is waht is called a Goidelic language, while Welsh is a Brythonnic language, meaning it is the true British language.
Actually, they often DO refer to Irish Gaelic as simply "Irish" in order to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic. And while the spoken differences between Scottish and Irish Gaelic are small, the written differences are quite substantial.
You idiot! It is called 'Irish', it can also be called Gaelic or Irish Gaelic if you wish. English, Spanish and German are nationalities AND languages, so what's wrong with doing the same with the language of the Irish people??
hello everybody!! im an italian boy and id like to learn gaelic very much...can you reccomand me a video with original text and translation in irish, thank you! go raibh mìle maith agaibh!
THE JUDGMENT OF TARA...The royal Arch Druid Amergin from ancient Gaul, spoke this poem of law as his invocation of Hibernia. Together ...I request the land of Hibernia (to come forth)...coursed is the wild sea...wild the crying mountains...crying the generous woods...generous in showers (rain/waterfalls)...showers lakes and vast pools...vast pools hosts of well-springs...
she, as president of ireland only uses gaeilge on paddy's day and her inaugral speech, then goes on to say we should be proud ta speak the language? lead by example ya useless bitch.
Hey....atleast she can speak it! I couldnt string too sentences together for ya so maybe she doesnt use it as we woudnt know what the fuck she's on about! haha
The bible is a foreign Middle Eastern book which is made up of disjointed Aramaic letters that has been compiled together to promote Constantine's war objective. These disjointed Aramaic letters which has been rearranged is not part of the indo European language branch.
Constantine's new book which has been compiled together is anti indo European. This book should not be used in a court of law since it is based on sacrificing your first born child to test your faith and promotes the murder of Celtic Pagan witches.
Since the unification of the EU is the unification of ancient Gaul, born again Celtic Pagans should promote their legal rights through the Druid's Brehon Laws to establish their oath of credibility, which protects your human rights.
May the memories of the Druids Brehon Laws exist forever at the Hill of Tara, which was brought from ancient Gaul and was committed to memory since the beginning of the ice age.

So you can see what I mean...

No im feckin not! Gaelic comes from Gallic and the Gauls, who were an ancient Celtic civilisation. Gaelic as a description covers all their descendants eg. Ireland, Scotland etc. We all speak different Gaelic languages, Irish speak Gaeilge, Scots speak gaidglig. All Celtic and Gaelic but individual to their own countries.

It's an Exonym, which is a name for a language, people, country not used by the actually people themselves. like Germany and German are exonyms aswell, because, in Germany they call their country Deustchland, and their language is called deustch.

Nope your wrong jm. Gaelic covers all the Celtic languages. Gaeilge is Irish for Irish. And I wouldn't agree with the posh English accent comment. She probably speaks that way so Irish speakers from all provinces can understand. You can still hear the Ulster twang at times.

Have you heard a French man speak English? Yu'll notice their accent, which stems from their minor mispronouciations. Which is happening, her irish is understandable, but she mispronouces certain words, she seems to have a trouble with dipthongs. she lacks correct innotations.
it is possible to speak Japanese with an English/Irish accent, you make make minor misnouciations & incorrect inotations, since Japanese is a very inotated language it would be easy to have an accent while speaking it.

But Welsh and Irish grammar are very similar
The most striking thing about all the Celtic languages is a thing called in Welsh 'treiglad' - initial consonant mutation - they all do it and it is strikingly similar in all of them
So 'Tad' is father but it can appear as 'dad' (long a) 'thad' or 'nhad' (which is the correct way to adress your father)
The vocabulary of Irish and Welsh are very different - but the grammar is amazingly similar
iantonowful 2 years ago
Do all the celtic languages have similar words, sentences, verbs etc.? And if they do is it because they were all part of the same language until they broke apart from eachother. e.g. English,German, French were alltogether one language untill only bits of the languages were take from each country or race as it were and made a whole new one, though still keeping ties to each other.

Most languages in Europe descend from a common root shared with Indian and Iranian languages called Indo-Eurpean
The Celtic branch of this split in two - called Brythonic or - p-celtic and Goidelic or q-celtic - so called because for examplein Welsh (p-celtic) the intial sound of a word like four became a p (pedwar) but in Irish it kept it's original sound (K)

Irish people do speak English, and Irish (gaeilge). Irish survives in what's called "Gaeltachtaí" - which is the Irish speaking regions within Ireland. Mostly on the west coast. It is also a mandatory subject all throughout school.
Irish was the primary language here until Britain colonized it. They removed Irish from education, and when the Irish famine hit - it hit the west coast the hardest, killing 100,000's of Irish speakers, and thus - nearly killing the language altogether.

Deader87 2 years ago
There are 6 celtic speaking areas in the world. Ireland, Scotland, Isle of Man, Brittany, Cornwall, and Wales. Gaelic isn't a language. Gaidhlig is Scottish Gaelic. Irish is simply called Gaeilge, or Irish in English. Manx Gaelic is called Gaelg.
Irish and Welsh are probably the two strongest languages out of them all - but Scottish Gaelic is very strong on the west coast Islands of Scotland (Hebrides)
SeanOBriain 2 years ago
The Celtic Languages:
Gaeilge: 70,000 native speakers. 250,000 fluent. Compulsory to study in scools.
Welsh: Very strong, especially in the north.
Scots: Strong on the islands off the west coast.
Cornish: extinct but making an amazing comeback.
Manx: Extinct.
Bretagne: Strong among older generations but dying in the younger.
Gallego: Very very strong among all ages.
these are all the celtic languages.

Some corrections: "Scots" is a Germanic language. You mean Scottish Gaelic.
Manx is also making a comeback.
Gallego is a romance language very similar to Portuguese. The people may be Celtic but the language is not.

Totally right Orthohawk! The people in Galicia (some of them at least) are of Celtic origin, and I'd say 5 to 10 percent of the vocab of Galician is celtic-based... in every day speech however, someone from Portugal speaking Portuguese and someone from Galicia speaking Galician wouldn't have much difficulty understanding one another.

So let me get this straight: If somebody say they speak Irish, is that an acceptable term? Or is it more proper to say Irish Gaelic to refer to the language, or maybe even using its Irish term, Gaeilge?
DanieruShidebuteru 2 years ago
Gaelic is a generic term that cover's all the Gaelic languages. in the same way that describing someone from Gaelic countries as being Gaelic. Gaeilge is the specific name of the Irish language in the language itself. it is not improper to say Irish as most of us learned the language through English. although the average Irish person is taught Irish for roughly 13/14 years.

Scottish and Irish are basically the same, since the Irish brought Gaelic to Scotland. But Welsh is pretty much an entirely separate language, since Gaelic is waht is called a Goidelic language, while Welsh is a Brythonnic language, meaning it is the true British language.

Actually, they often DO refer to Irish Gaelic as simply "Irish" in order to distinguish it from Scottish Gaelic. And while the spoken differences between Scottish and Irish Gaelic are small, the written differences are quite substantial.
