Spreading the Words: Irish Language & Heritage

Fáilte! Spreading the Word(s) is a brand new project from the authors of the book, 'A History of Irish in 100 Words', and editors of the electronic Dictionary of the Irish Language (eDIL). We tell the stories behind Irish words, medieval and modern, bringing to life the Ireland of past centuries and revealing little-known facts about the language that is used today.

Our videos will appeal to anyone, anywhere, interested in Irish and Ireland. In the coming weeks, we will be posting also some resources intended for use in schools and other learning environments. 

So, if you are into Irish language, literature, history, archaeology, place-names and more, don’t forget to subscribe!

This project is funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and based at the University of Cambridge.
