I just found out that Ireland had its own language and I felt like I have been living underground for 20 years. I am Macedonian, we still fight for our nation,we fight for our identity, we fight for our ancestors,history, language, land even though we are losing. The ethnic Albanians won 2001 conflict, the Bulgarians have our heroes tombs and the Greeks have 50% of our land and they have strong propaganda and nazism
what do we do if someone simply does not have a talent for l anguages?
you cannot force us to speak what we don't want to speak.
why not teach us to speak, read and write english properly?
if not, the language of shakespeare, donne, shelley et al. will go down the drain.
we need to revive it - english, that is - and not s ome foreign fucking language that is a lready half dead. who cares who lkilled the lingo in the first place. It is dead. r.i.p.
english is the language we all need. irish is okay for anglophobes who c onsider themselves elitist with such a dead lingo. i was goot at Irish at school but, today, i feel we need esperanto or latin (tried and tested) or even sign-lingo. but not irish anymore. it was whacked into us at school and, therefore, whacked out of us. i have no respect w hatsoever for itl. they can stick it up their jumpers if they like. i would rather learn welsh or c hinese instead.
@IoEstasCedonta Yea he does.It's normal enough to add a few English words here and there and because English is our first language it has had an impact on how even native Irish speakers talk.
Also with so many new words being added due to new technologies or whatever we just use the English version as there is no point making up new irish words for them.
If you talk to Germans you will notice that they too have adopted English words into their language.

DEAR NICHOLE GLACKIN, you put the famous, or infamous, FODDAs in the wrong places. Stand inthe corner till i get me big stick out. They used to use a fecking leather strap in themonateries. Who cares whether itis Blaw Clee or DUVlin who rules SOUTHERN Ireland? Who gives a shite whether Galway is also called GOLLIV or not? Just think of OLIVE FROM GOLLIV and this will help revive your nativellingo. Until then, feck it!

If you want to cllimb the social ladder here in SOUTHERN Ireland, you have to change your name from Johnny to Shawn or Jimmy to Shaymoss. Mostof the working classes who attend gailskulls do it and they go up the social ladder. They get jobs in government. I AM GLAD FOR THEM because education is the ONLY way to liberate the working classes. The Labour Party doesn't give a SHITE about them. They have to liberate themselves.The Irish Lingo is the lingo of social advancement, not English anymore!
Not everyone has a flair for languages. I loved Irish at school but I was useless at maths. Others were brilliant at maths but useless at Irish and the teacher would call them thicks etc. THIS IS WHY I HAVE NO INTEREST IN REVIVING A DEAD LINGO.
And most of these gaelgoers are anglophobic and protestant-phobic, even though theis an Irish Lingo Service in Dublin held every month in a Church of Ireland church. And most of our freedom fighters , like Robert Emmett, were Protestants. How about that.
@squirell1952 You shouldn't let other people get you down so much, it's your life, you should live it the way you want and don't let mean people dictate what you do. It is so sad to think that you were turned against something you loved just because a mean teacher called the mathematically gifted students thick.
Dara comes from Bree Coolin in County Killmonntawn, does he not? That means, legally, he is a culchie. Well, he cannot help that but he does speak TOO QUICKLY in both English and Irish lingos. My schoolboy dialect of Irish Lingo meant I spoke rather slowly but effectively. Rather like the way English announcers USED to speak on BBC before Auntie Beeb dumbed herself down to appeal to people who never listen to Radio Four anyway. OH, WHAT A WASTE OF TIME AND TALENT. SLAWN LIV GO FOLE!
@squirell1952 Theres No Fuckin County Called Killmonntawn! Get Yer Facts Straight B4 U Go Callin Him Culchie! And you Spelling Of Irish Is Terrible Slàn Libh Go Foìl Anòis
Omg Echo Island!! LOL LOL! Aw I wish I had someone to practice my Irish with I don't wanna lose it! Don't really agree with the point about having as much Irish vocabulary a being able to say your name and the colours, I don't know maybe I went to a good primary school! But I agree all primary school should be gael scoileanna, Irish is such a beautiful language and it upsets me when Irish people give out about it and say it's dead to someone like Dara surely it isn't!
@kandambelkum glad to see you find it funny that Ireland lost her native language while according to you the rest of Europe kept theirs. One problem. The French (Franks) were originally a German speaking people. Life is complex.
@1964fagan the French are not Franks. They spoke a romance language, who comes from Latin, after centuries of Roman colonization. The Franks made an unitary state called France, but their contribution to the language is not considerable
That sounded like the worst story EVER:L:L I am SO glad I have never seen that show :L "Lucy didn't want to go to that school, she had an idea, she made a MOVIE about the school to learn more about it!" While making the movie wouldn't she learn everything already? I am so glad he changed to being a comedian....
It's interesting what he says about only speaking Irish with his dad. I am half English and half Hungarian but I grew up in England. However I only speak Hungarian with my mum because we feel it's important to keep our language and culture alive. Bloody British empire succeeded in almost destroying such a beautiful language as Irish (amongst many others!) and it's great that people are still speaking it and actively promoting it!
@dansimmons21 thats really sweet of you :') not many people appreciate culture and language but i love irish and make an effort to speak it as much as possible :3
@dansimmons21 Well the difference being that the Hungarian language is a national language spoken by more then 10 million ppl, while Gaeilge is spoken by maybe 80000 ppl at the most. ;)
I'm Hungarian as well (grew up and live in Sweden). I like to think of Hungarian as my secret language, speaking it in public with my siblings and no one else can understand :P
@JessikaTheGamer You have a good point, but don't forget that the Irish population is rapidly rising, whereas the population of Hungary is rapidly decreasing!
@JessikaTheGamer Yes but you could argue that for a language to be revived all you need is a growing population, and people who feel it important, and are willing, to keep the language alive. It is already taught in schools and there are Irish medium schools etc, which is a good start. At the end of the day a decreasing population will defeat any language, whether it is a dead one or a very much alive one.
@dansimmons21@JessikaTheGamer just to say here, there is no shortage of irish schools in the south or there are even some in the north, and as the population increases, sure its easier to just speak english, but theres a lot of passion to stay Irish, and in the catholic secondary and grammar schools it is compulsory to learn irish to a certain year and if you want you can keep it on all the way to A-level, and its the most popular language in my school (:
I'm only 24 and I've already lost a huge amount of the Irish language. I couldn't stand it in school because they teach it differently to any other language. It's like they expect you to automatically grasp it (and they get mad when you don't!), yet they acknowledge with other languages that they are literally "foreign" to us and pace those accordingly. Another reason is it's just not used much where I live. Shame really because its something that we managed to retain throughout our history.
@JDela10 It's all down to primary teaching, English primaries don't teach it well so when you get to secondary you have to start from scratch and teachers are rushing it to get to the part of the course that really matters. In primary it should be taught properly so that teachers in secondary don't have to start off with "Hi, my name is" and the colours as they have to because students come to them so badly educated. All schools should really be Gealscoils so that everyone learns it properly:/
How the feck did Ross ever get to be a TV presenter? He is about as funny as a toothache, can't speak properly and is an arse. Dara is certainly the man.
@DeanMalenko No No he did say tell ya what... there are some phrases and words that are just said in English cuz there would be no Irish traslation for them...
am from the north and dear god our language is hard to learn, hands up to those who can speak it, i feel that it should be taught in all schools so that our native language will never die
@mattmcnerlin I have to agree with you on that XD The Northern-Irish accent in particular is just so different XD Though I've forgotten 70% of my Irish since I finished school
haha, here in southern california theres a bunch of irish girls that are doing a summer work thing in my area. its really cool, i love their accents!!
@valenass88 irish is our official language, but unless youre from one of the small irish speaking areas in the countryside, everyone speaks english. most people just learn irish in school and forget about it, but some people go to all-irish schools. most people take a trip to an irish speaking camp for 3 weeks of the summer at some stage or another, which is usually just an excuse for eating stale biscuits and dallamullog.
hey i got a question: in what language does irish people speaks? cuz i thought they have their own language but when i hear they speaking on youtube they always speak in english, they just have some irish accent but the language is english am i right or not?
@valentass88 Everyone in Ireland used to speak Gaelic, also called Irish by some. Ireland was invaded by the English in the 12th century and, starting in the 16th century, a concerted effort was made to anglicise the Irish population, especially the elite. By the mid-19th century, the majority of Irish people spoke English as their first language.
@valentass88 When Irish nationalism developed, an effort was made to revive Irish as a functional national language. Thus, the names of most public institutions are Gaelic, all government services are bilingual, and Irish is a required school subject. There are a variety of publicly-supported Irish media. Nonetheless, the number of Irish speakers continues to decline; most Irish people can communicate only in basic Gaelic, while virtually everyone is entirely fluent in English.
@valentass88 most people in ireland speak english, there are some places where they speak it alot. And as for the accent, not all people in ireland actually have a really irish accent, like people from around where im from.
@FIntyMAcC10 first, i dont care if i cant spell ONE FUCKING WORD YOU PRICK!
second, when i waas typing it felt instinctive to spell it inglish as opposed to english, i dont give a crap
third, im not even sure if spastic means that i cant spell, i thought it had to do with seizures, but hey, coming from somone who completely ignored what my comment was asking for, im sure you realiable(!)
He's not made up of the same atoms and sub-atomic particles now as he was then though, since they change. Surprised he didn't pull him up on that, being a bit of a physics geek.
Sometime, maybe in the future...i can see it coming, there may be a time when stereotypical bullshit like ross wil be taken out of the genepool, if you don't like what i said....then take the chip off your shoulder.
It's sad how so many monolinguals think that speaking another language, other than English, is weird. In the real world, those who only have one language are the ones who are outnumbered. More languages = more brain use..... so what does that say! ;)
@SmartieCheesecake You don't think, that you have to shame on you all?? Irish people are proud people, but in English language, not in Irish! Everybody laughs at Ireland!!
@kandambelkum It's not forgotten, it's just unused. There is no point in learning it if the majority of the world speaks english. At least Ireland is Irish. What's America's native language? Austrailia's? Not many know them. So go fuck urself with a rusty scissors. (Joke, don't do that)
@SmartieCheesecake This is not true! You are a member of the European Community! English is the official language in the UK and in Ireland. From France to Moldova and from Sweden to Malta everybody speaks his native language...
@kandambelkum This time, I mean it. Go fuck yourself with a rusty scissors. You're taking this so seriously. Fuck sake, like. I mean, it's actually funny how you think by saying SHAME the whole of Ireland will get a kick up the hole! Christ....
So, as I repeat, I want you to go get your scissors, prefferably rusty, and go fuck yourself with them. Yeh Prick.

@JDela10 It's all down to primary teaching, English primaries don't teach it well so when you get to secondary you have to start from scratch and teachers are rushing it to get to the part of the course that really matters. In primary it should be taught properly so that teachers in secondary don't have to start off with "Hi, my name is" and the colours as they have to because students come to them so badly educated. All schools should really be Gealscoils so that everyone learns it properly:/

@valenass88 irish is our official language, but unless youre from one of the small irish speaking areas in the countryside, everyone speaks english. most people just learn irish in school and forget about it, but some people go to all-irish schools. most people take a trip to an irish speaking camp for 3 weeks of the summer at some stage or another, which is usually just an excuse for eating stale biscuits and dallamullog.

@valentass88 Irish Gaelic, but it's a dying language.
Olekander 6 months ago
@valentass88 Everyone in Ireland used to speak Gaelic, also called Irish by some. Ireland was invaded by the English in the 12th century and, starting in the 16th century, a concerted effort was made to anglicise the Irish population, especially the elite. By the mid-19th century, the majority of Irish people spoke English as their first language.
ardiar2011 6 months ago
@valentass88 When Irish nationalism developed, an effort was made to revive Irish as a functional national language. Thus, the names of most public institutions are Gaelic, all government services are bilingual, and Irish is a required school subject. There are a variety of publicly-supported Irish media. Nonetheless, the number of Irish speakers continues to decline; most Irish people can communicate only in basic Gaelic, while virtually everyone is entirely fluent in English.

@valentass88 most people in ireland speak english, there are some places where they speak it alot. And as for the accent, not all people in ireland actually have a really irish accent, like people from around where im from.
