  • this is in a little house that is known by some as the shiomsa he is singing in irish or as i know it Ghaeilge it is the irish native tounge and many not only in gaeltacht areas in my country speak it fluently i am from dublin but would say i would speak it fluently get ur facts rite before u start writtting

  • In Ireland and Scotland, native speakers refer to their respective languages as Gaeilge and Gàidhlig respectively, when speaking in their own language. In Scotland, Irish is called Gàidhlig na h-Èireann, and our own Gaelic, is just Gàidhlig. Similarly, the Irish speaker I've met refer to their own Gaelic as Gaeilge, and Scots as Gaeilge na hALbann. Yes they've diverged, but saying they're both Gaelic (in English) is not wrong. It's essentially the same as saying they're both Goidelic.

  • i love the fact that the man is able to speak let along sing in it.i am from newfoundland and only wish i had the gaelic withen me.fair play to the man.and its grand tat they are starting to teach it home as well.slan mo chara's nollaig shona duit

  • yup- "an Ghaeilge" is the IRISH word for the IRISH language. It is spoken not just in the "Gaeltachta" but also in the cities of Ireland--Baile Átha Cliath (Dublin), Belfast, Cork, Galway, you name it. English speakers call it "Gaelic" because they don't know any better. It's not entirely wrong, but you have to remember that Scottish is usually called that and i hate it when people remark how cool it is that i speak "Gaelic" thinking it's Scottish.

    Go raibh maith agaibh as bhur bhfreagraí!

  • Maith an fear, go raibh maith agat.

  • =-/ its gaelic, and gaelic isnt only spoken in ireland, there are actually gaelic nations still in existence other than ireland too

  • Ur a retard, first of all its called Gaelige, and secondly it is still spoken in Ireland, very much so, maybe not in the big city's because there is a big diversity of nationalities now, but if you go to the west, south or north coast you will find your self in an area called the Gaeltacht and they ONLY speak Irish there... Get ur shit right before you start posting rubbish..... Im 100% IRISH, and a native tounge of the language!

  • You know, I'm pretty sure akm5176 said 'Gaelic isn't ONLY spoken in Ireland' not that it ISN'T spoken in Ireland', there being a pretty firm distinction between those two sentences, what exactly is rubbish in what they wrote even

    má b'fhearr leat an t-ainm Gaeilge (nó Gaidhlig)?

  • An Ghaeilge atá a chanadh ag an fear seo, this man is singing in Gaeilge, or Irish... and it is spoken in other countries other than Ireland, but only by people of Irish descent or who have an interest in the Irish language. You have a variation of Gaelge in Scotland called Gaedhilge which is an offshoot of Irish that came into Scotland from Ireland when the Dal Riata of East Ulster founded a kingdom in west Scotland. Oh and gaelic is only used by the english as a name for the Irish language

  • It is not possible to speak in "gaelic" there is no language! Gaelic refers the gaelic culture.  Gaelic culture has 3 main languages of the goidelic group of language, IRISH, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. This singer is singing in irish, not gaelic, or Gaeilge if you want to say it in irish. End of discussion.

  • Um, sorry to burst your bubble, I am from Ireland, and will tell you that "Gaelic" (we call it Ghaeilge), is indeed spoken quite often there.

  • i spent my summers growing up in ballyferriter... we stayed in a caravan outside the town near a beach and there was an old man whose dog was named madra, ironic...too bad i cannot speak irish like i used to back then

  • Ta an poc ar buille agus an cheart aige!

  • I am trying to learn Gaeilge. This is what I have deciphered from your post...The Buck(deer) at blow/stroke and the right at you? I don't understand. This must be an idiom I haven't been exposed to. Maybe the diacritical marks are missing. Love to converse with you in Gaelige. Let me know.

  • Duh, I just saw the name of the song above. Now I understand more than I did before.

  • This is a great song...I think it's about a mountain goat that runs amok in town.

    Go raibh maith agat!
