  • The ones pretending that English is the only language they need and all the others are useless, well, they are fools. You just won't be understanding a word as soon as you put your feet out of England or the countries where English was imposed by force or colonization. Here in Spain a few have learnt it in school and it is only used to communicate with foreign people with no Spanish. And that's like that in the rest of Europe. The English language was imposed on Wales, Ireland and the Highlands.

  • Sounds like elvish! And i mean no disrespect. I see a lot people are getting uptight! We all can't learn every language in the world! But Gaelic sounds very cool.

    I was being sar.

  • @ExtremeBogom I do not know why you are crying. By the way, it seems Portugal was more focused in trade (mainly spices) with the Asian Far East and arrived late to colonize the Americas. Anyway they had Brazil...

  • @ec5aca

    Ooh really? I had no idea...

    How terrible. Excuse me while I cry...

  • @ec5aca

    What I'll never confidently understand, is how Spain managed to get ahead of its Iberian brother Portugal even though Portugal got a head start on the ocean waves. I always thought Spain and Portugal were on equal wavelengths when comparing one another to their power and dedication, yet Spain managed to get ahead.

  • @IAmCaptainMarvel The language imposing in the Americas was mostly done after independence of the colonies by the Criollo governants. During Spanish rule the natives and native languages were mostly unharmed, except for the Caribbean/Arawak languages of the first lands colonized. Anyway you can find indians/natives and halfbreeds and native languages everywhere in the former Spanish colonies, while they where almost anihilated in the first English colonies (North America)

  • @ec5aca

    Fuck, I HATE people who are blaming England for things they did in the past when they don't know the full story. I REFUSE to let anyone of you people slag off my country when you don't live here yourselves.

    For starters, did you know Welsh has over 750,000 speakers worldwide, some of which DON'T know English fluently?

    Oh but wait, you're Spanish? Oh yeah, it's not like SPAIN ever tried to do that "language imposing" thing, right? *COUGH* THE MAYANS

  • @Boyle360 no its Gaelic, the Irish word for Irish. because most of us speak english as a first language we attend Irish class not Gaelic class in school.

  • @metabolife well hopefully it doesnt that would suck

  • @hjaimeg so do they... the language is dying

  • learn something new every day, didnt know the Irish had their own language, I want to learn.
