Are Irish and Scottish Gaelic languages closer to eachother then either is to Manx Gaelic, because I have seen written Manx Gaelic and it looks very different from Irish and Scottish Gaelic, it looks alittle more Brythonic Celtic like Welsh and Cornish. Anyone else agree?
Manx, Irish and Scots Gaelic are all Gaelic, and are relatively unlike Welsh, Cornish, Breton or Cumbric. Manx is like the dialect of Scottish Gaelic that was spoken in Galloway in the south west of Scotland. Manx has an anglicised spelling which makes it look different from the two other Gaelic language.
@KenMacMillan It is compulsory from when they start school in Junior Infants right up to when they leave in 6th year and is a compulsory exam subject for both Junior and Leaving Cert. The problem with the system is that in secondary school most of the marks go for stuff like essay writing poetry comprehension and not the oral. Most people I know myself included would love to be fluent in Irish but because of the system we aren't. The way the system is set up it drives people to hate it
Wow....Okay I learned something today. I sincerely apologize for being a naive American, but I didn't know people still spoke Gaelic in an official capacity like this. I just assumed that everyone in Ireland spoke English for everything. Thank you for sharing this video
@jedispy Well actualy you where kind of right. Very few people in ireland can speak the language fluently. Except for small areas dotted along the west coast collectively known as the gaelteacht. But people who live here are bilingual so speak english anywhere outside these areas. This weather forecast was broadcast on TG4 wich is an irish language tv channel wich was set up in 1996 to promote speaking gaelic.
woah half way through I couldn't tell it was a foreign language for me O.O It made sense to me, but I was waiting for her to start speaking gaelic until I realized... "holy shit the whole thing is in gaelic..."
@CYMRUTUBE there was a time in Ireland when kids going to school were banned from speaking Irish and taught english only, which resulted in a generation of children being unable to converse with their parents at home... it was basically another Holocaust here in Ireland, please read ---- irishholocaust . o r g ----- no spaces
@CYMRUTUBE its because the welsh just accepted the english as there overlords. Whereas the scottish and Irish even more fought tooth and nail to keep their identities separate, as a result they actually became more anglicized due to the barbaric actions of the english law makers and enforced by their army... Ireland has been fighting them for over 800 years to fuck off back to england... makes you sick...
@CYMRUTUBE irish was banned from being taught or spoken after ireland's colonisation by the british. there's been a concerted effort to try and revive it since the late 19th century (in the republic, anyway).. but it's difficult to revive a language that's been so severely subjugated.
@MrIrishlogic i fint it hilarious that you sit there and correct all my mistakes. is that supposed to make me feel bad or something? yea i made some typos, its called being human.
Used to hear my mum speak a few words when I was a kid! Strangely attractive language for English people. Gonna go see if my mums remembers any now.....!
@sistamary2k6 thats cool, i dont remember that when i went to ireland. but thats a tour for you. i dont like tours because you only really experience a country when you visit the rural areas, and walk around and absorb as much as possible around you. tours dont do this, you stay someplace for and hour, get back on the bus and drive around more. i did love ireland alot when i last went years ago. next time im going to scotland, and england. i wont take a tour this time around.
@JonnyLightning ... or Canada. hell, our articles of confederation's first 4 drafts were written in gaelic until the french got angry needing to have it translated (at the time, English was not a common first language, but everyone had a good handle on it as a second language. it's sad to see our language die out like it did, but there are 8,000 people who have some handle on gaelic and for the first time since we arrived from the highlands our language is actually gaining numbers...
@JonnyLightning ...Scottish Gaelic is being taught again in primary schools in the maritimes with government funded courses, you can even choose it as an elective in secondary school. finally the highlanders are allowed to speak their language without being beaten in class, score one for the highlanders.
havent heard any1 speak gaeilge since i was in school you miss it when you dont have it anymore im sick and tired of hearing polish everyday wish they would all just pack up and go home
she says '' its raining up here, its raining down here, this part is full of protestants so we don't care about there, the forecast for next week is 10 degrees Celsius so expect the beaches to be busy'' -
She speaks very strongly accented Connacht Irish. I'm fluent in Irish, but I speak Munster/Leinster Irish which is much less throaty and gargle-y than that and so I find it hard to properly understand her ...
@TrueColours044 dont want to sound rude or cause any offence... but so you speak english, native is gaelic.. are all your news broadcasts radios etc in gaelic? or english..?
IlStudioso : ha well atleast ya no one word lol,.. bu if ya wanna no how to say hello which is always nice its dia duit!!! its pernouced deeya gwitch lol,.. and good bye is slan lait(slawn lat)!! or ya can just say bye which is slan(slawn) ha hope that helps :D!!!!xX
@HesseJamez Haha - it doesn't rain half as much as people make out! God just makes it rain when ya want to do something outside and when one is working he makes it sunny. Ireland is where God has fun playing with people! :)
hahaha up da irish ;),.. i love my culture ang language,.. i can speak it but not that great just from skool but i wanna becum fluent,... slan do chara ciara ni bhrion tiocaidh ar la,..xX
I used to think that Welsh was the most beautiful Gaelic language (I still think it's beautiful), but by far Irish is much more elegant because it doesn't have any of those throaty gargling sounds, like in Welsh.
well Irish actually does have that throaty gargling sound but because Irish is more syllabic it is more difficult to hear. But to me I think that that sound is very distinguished in a language. All Celtic languages are beautiful in my opinion though.
Perhaps because the general consensus in the world is that they areromantic languages don't know why you take that personally, and seeing as that has nothing at all to do with Northern Ireland and neither do I for that matter could you please cut out political bullshit you spastic culchie.
Do we really need a weather show in Ireland? All it would ever say is -
"Inniu tá sé ag cur báistí, tá scamall sa spéir agus tá an grian marbh. Amach, beidh sé ag cur báistí, beidh scamall sa spéir agus beidh an grian marbh fós."
It's Gaelic (Gaeilge), more commonly refered to as the Irish langauge. In recent centuries it has lost it's usage but in the past hundred years it has gained huge strength. It is thought in all schools in Ireland, and is spoken widely in western parts of the country (in areas known as "Gaeltacht")
Irish, like S. Gaelic- beautiful! Use it in schools. offices, should be Ireland's language.
Don't worry about English- it's increasingly useless as England, N. America plummet into debt (and I'm an American).
I work internationally, the two main global languages of future are Chinese and German- low debt/high-tech, German a Euro hub. (With Japanese, Spanish, Hindi in a 2nd group.)
So Ireland could have Irish as main language, and German for inter-European use- less cost, much more useful!
if English is so useless why is it taught to schools around the world?name almost any industrialized country and they teach English America may be in the hole right now but is not the first time nor will it be the last
This dislact sounds more southern than the northern ulster dialect. scottish gaelic speaker wouldnt understand a lot of it. How would the Ulster dialects get on wth it?
Ulster Irish speakers would understand this fine. Hers is Connacht Irish. The 3 dialects aren't that different at all. I understand all 3 no probs. Just diff accent and some words/grammar slightly different but no big deal. It's all Irish and the one and same language. For example, they're no more different from each other than US English, British English and Australian English, etc and even less so perhaps.
Ahhh, TG4. Níl sé ach soir an bóthar uaim! Tá sé go deas go bhfuil daoine ag baint taitnimh as an teanga álainn ata againn arís! (Níl mo chuid litriú Gaeilge iontach, go mo leithscéal ; ) )
look im irish and i have lived in Ireland my whole life and can speak perfect Irish and it sounds nothing like english. some names sound similar and thats it
Um...Not really...If it sounds like English, then you could understand it could you not? And, why do you call Irish Gaeilge, Gaeilge is only used when speaking in Irish, so If you wish to use that word, please learn the language first, because YOU are speaking Irish, yet are not..if you get where I am coming from.
Gaeilge? Gaelic? Irish? Technicalities aside, all of these words have relevance in the minds of some people. And, allow me to point out that, for every time an Irishman's delicate cultural sensibilities are ruffled by an American's improper use of the word "Gaelic," I could show you DOZENS of instances in which Europeans claim that citizens of The United States speak "American." If we're going to quibble about such picayune details, let us be fair and inclusive in our criticisms.
Irish people call the language Irish, if anyone tries to correct you otherwise they clearly don't live here, I have noticed it's mainly Americans that discuss things on Irish vids on here and not actual Irish people, this obviously leads to a lot of confusion as they usually make assumptions without knowing much (or anything) about Ireland. Nobody here calls it Gaelic either, that doesn't make sense for various reasons, and the Irish word for the language is Gaeilge
Gentleman3, Europeans often display an ignorance about the "real" American culture, too, yet they continue to make false assumptions. Understand, please, that Americans regard Ireland with great reverence and affection and that a great many Americans proudly claim Irish blood. If they occasionally display a lack of knowledge of the "real" Ireland and the Irish people, it is not done with a spirit of malice. Americans' fondness for all things Irish should encourage, rather than offend, you.
From my perspective at least, it is usually the ones that claim "Irish roots" that buy into and perpetuate stereotypes and falsehoods, that is something I find ironic and unacceptable just cause it's labeled as "Irish pride" or whatever, if someone is talking bullshit I think I should be able to correct them without being called anti-American.
Also, it's hard to really feel a bond or get some spiritual encouragement from people that have little or no real connection to Ireland in most cases.
Gentl3man, Americans with "Irish roots" are too quick to adopt stereotypes and falsehoods about their ancestral homeland because those stereotypes are displayed in ways that sentimentalize Ireland and fail to present a realistic portrait of the modern Irish people. What I find sad about your heard-hearted attitude is that you are unable to embrace the positive feelings most Americans have toward Ireland, and instead choose to focus negative energy on misperceptions that are not malicious.
A beautiful girl speaking a beautiful musical language!!
You Irishemen, ought be more proud and ought care of your own language.
Believe me: The only way to make your language to survive is by talking Irish to your children at home from birth. If Irish become their mother tongue they' ll talk each other while playing , at sports, etc... and will not become just a hard subject that they hate at school.
Agree, Frisco21. I find it irksome that some cocksure backward natives here in Ireland like to castigate Irish Americans from some lofty position of "Irishness". If it weren't for the Irish in America and all they achieved Irish culture would not be as world famous as it is today.
It certainly isn't the backward native clowns criticising Irish Americans that has won it world renown and affection, particularly in America.
Would that be green beer, four leafed clovers or Lucky charms?, cause im afraid none of those things are Irish never mind cultural, dont talk out yer arse
Go to Italy and tell a native you're a fan of Tony Soprano so now you know all about Italian culture, see what kinda looks you get
American gimmicky materialism sold to the plastic paddys isn't Irish culture...
I have no problem with Americans btw but Irish culture and America in the same sentence makes me cringe.
I have to say as a Gael "agus is mise Albannach", with Irish descent I do tend to cringe at the American interpritation. The Australians have it down to a tee and call anything like that as plastic paddy. I think some of them try too hard dressing up as little green men. Thats not Ireland and it never will be.
Whoa there, man. I, for one, happen to love green beer, four leafed clovers, and Lucky Charms... and if that makes me wrong, then I don't want to be right.
Irish and American culture is entwined man. If you look at the early wars in American history (the Revolutionary and Civil wars specifically) you see a lot of Irish men fighting those wars. Thats how my family got established in America.
Where was Irish music and the idea of an Irish nation preserved in the 19th century and into the 20th? I have seen some of the most sublime manifestations of Irish culture in rural and urban America. And Plastic Paddys? Ever been to a St. Patrick's Day Parade in any Irish town.
Reminds me of the seventies when the trendoids were always Yank Bashing. Fast Forward to the eighties and the very same groovies were over begging the IrishAmerican community for help in obtaining their Green Cards
I don't think it's that shocking that some people would refer to what is spoken here as "Gaelic". Technically incorrect, but not the worst faux pas either.
why does this video exist?

Irish, like S. Gaelic- beautiful! Use it in schools. offices, should be Ireland's language.
Don't worry about English- it's increasingly useless as England, N. America plummet into debt (and I'm an American).
I work internationally, the two main global languages of future are Chinese and German- low debt/high-tech, German a Euro hub. (With Japanese, Spanish, Hindi in a 2nd group.)
So Ireland could have Irish as main language, and German for inter-European use- less cost, much more useful!

This dislact sounds more southern than the northern ulster dialect. scottish gaelic speaker wouldnt understand a lot of it. How would the Ulster dialects get on wth it?
seonidh 2 years ago
Ulster Irish speakers would understand this fine. Hers is Connacht Irish. The 3 dialects aren't that different at all. I understand all 3 no probs. Just diff accent and some words/grammar slightly different but no big deal. It's all Irish and the one and same language. For example, they're no more different from each other than US English, British English and Australian English, etc and even less so perhaps.

Um...Not really...If it sounds like English, then you could understand it could you not? And, why do you call Irish Gaeilge, Gaeilge is only used when speaking in Irish, so If you wish to use that word, please learn the language first, because YOU are speaking Irish, yet are not..if you get where I am coming from.

Gaeilge? Gaelic? Irish? Technicalities aside, all of these words have relevance in the minds of some people. And, allow me to point out that, for every time an Irishman's delicate cultural sensibilities are ruffled by an American's improper use of the word "Gaelic," I could show you DOZENS of instances in which Europeans claim that citizens of The United States speak "American." If we're going to quibble about such picayune details, let us be fair and inclusive in our criticisms.
frisco21 3 years ago
Irish people call the language Irish, if anyone tries to correct you otherwise they clearly don't live here, I have noticed it's mainly Americans that discuss things on Irish vids on here and not actual Irish people, this obviously leads to a lot of confusion as they usually make assumptions without knowing much (or anything) about Ireland. Nobody here calls it Gaelic either, that doesn't make sense for various reasons, and the Irish word for the language is Gaeilge
TheGentl3man 3 years ago 3
Gentleman3, Europeans often display an ignorance about the "real" American culture, too, yet they continue to make false assumptions. Understand, please, that Americans regard Ireland with great reverence and affection and that a great many Americans proudly claim Irish blood. If they occasionally display a lack of knowledge of the "real" Ireland and the Irish people, it is not done with a spirit of malice. Americans' fondness for all things Irish should encourage, rather than offend, you.
frisco21 3 years ago
From my perspective at least, it is usually the ones that claim "Irish roots" that buy into and perpetuate stereotypes and falsehoods, that is something I find ironic and unacceptable just cause it's labeled as "Irish pride" or whatever, if someone is talking bullshit I think I should be able to correct them without being called anti-American.
Also, it's hard to really feel a bond or get some spiritual encouragement from people that have little or no real connection to Ireland in most cases.
TheGentl3man 3 years ago 3
Gentl3man, Americans with "Irish roots" are too quick to adopt stereotypes and falsehoods about their ancestral homeland because those stereotypes are displayed in ways that sentimentalize Ireland and fail to present a realistic portrait of the modern Irish people. What I find sad about your heard-hearted attitude is that you are unable to embrace the positive feelings most Americans have toward Ireland, and instead choose to focus negative energy on misperceptions that are not malicious.
frisco21 3 years ago
A beautiful girl speaking a beautiful musical language!!
You Irishemen, ought be more proud and ought care of your own language.
Believe me: The only way to make your language to survive is by talking Irish to your children at home from birth. If Irish become their mother tongue they' ll talk each other while playing , at sports, etc... and will not become just a hard subject that they hate at school.
659Chubb 3 years ago 2
Agree, Frisco21. I find it irksome that some cocksure backward natives here in Ireland like to castigate Irish Americans from some lofty position of "Irishness". If it weren't for the Irish in America and all they achieved Irish culture would not be as world famous as it is today.
It certainly isn't the backward native clowns criticising Irish Americans that has won it world renown and affection, particularly in America.
LOGOS422 3 years ago 6
Irish culture?, America?
Would that be green beer, four leafed clovers or Lucky charms?, cause im afraid none of those things are Irish never mind cultural, dont talk out yer arse
Go to Italy and tell a native you're a fan of Tony Soprano so now you know all about Italian culture, see what kinda looks you get
American gimmicky materialism sold to the plastic paddys isn't Irish culture...
I have no problem with Americans btw but Irish culture and America in the same sentence makes me cringe.
DesertEagle404 3 years ago
I have to say as a Gael "agus is mise Albannach", with Irish descent I do tend to cringe at the American interpritation. The Australians have it down to a tee and call anything like that as plastic paddy. I think some of them try too hard dressing up as little green men. Thats not Ireland and it never will be.

Irish and American culture is entwined man. If you look at the early wars in American history (the Revolutionary and Civil wars specifically) you see a lot of Irish men fighting those wars. Thats how my family got established in America.

Where was Irish music and the idea of an Irish nation preserved in the 19th century and into the 20th? I have seen some of the most sublime manifestations of Irish culture in rural and urban America. And Plastic Paddys? Ever been to a St. Patrick's Day Parade in any Irish town.
Reminds me of the seventies when the trendoids were always Yank Bashing. Fast Forward to the eighties and the very same groovies were over begging the IrishAmerican community for help in obtaining their Green Cards
