Best comment! 😂😂😂

I mean, you're not wrong

don't forget to throw in a gobbless

Yeah i agree. When he was confused about irish being taught in schools, i was like what do you mean. Irish is a main language of Ireland. It should be taught EVEN MORE than it already is because it is, as the main comment said, our language

Well Donegal is the Gaeltacht for the ulster dialect .my Irish relatives would use the Munster dialect as that’s where they are mainly from mainly tiobraid arran agus an cabhan agus corcaigh .

That is the same with "native American" languages

@shay well said but there’s a word for what you’re describing the English did it’s called deracination look it up . It’s what all oppressors do .

Bastards Béarla

Speaking as someone whose mother's family are Catholics from Tullamore and Mullingar (and enough Irish in my father's side that my combined Ancestry DNA scores 65% pure Gaelic), if you check the 1801 Act of Union texts you see that the Irish were made legally 100% equal in every way to anyone else in the British Isles, at the time of the greatest regional expansion of Industrial power giving general rise out of poverty. Sociopathic and extorting landlords were a minority of the elite. Plenty of Irish lads joined the British Army to fight the Kaiser in 1914. Modern Britain is still full of ordinary people with significant direct Irish ancestry. Now, after 100 years of separation and full control, Gaelic is only spoken because it (until recently) was compulsory for the Leaving Cert, and because the likes of Clannad/Enya, Celtic Woman (and Amy) make it seem so romantic and attractive.

I remember hearing growing up that languages have similar words for things 😃

Yeah also "adieu" (an english word) which means "goodbye", that comes from a French word meaning "From God" (À Dieu). Also "oh mon dieu" (might be the wrong spelling) is the French for "oh my God" Edit: it's also likely that the irish word for God (dia) comes from a latin based language. Most likely French, as there was a lot of French influence in the irish language

Yes I talked a little about An Gaeltacht during the video. There’s an Irish speaking school not far from my home 😊

Don't forget to subscribe to trilogy media. That is Ashton's channel

my great grandmother was Irish

Not basque your thinking of breton from Brittany which is a part of france

That's not... Entirely correct, and I'll explain why. In the general area of northwest Europe there is a collection of people known as the "Celts", these are people who's origins are shrouded in a *lot* of mystery although it is commonly believed they originated in central Europe, near the Hallstat region of Austria. Their native languages are Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Manx (spoken on the Isle of Man), Welsh, Cornish (spoken in southwest Britain) and Breton (spoken in the northwest region of Brittany which is today in France). Of these language there are two specific categories of Celtic languages, the Goidelic or "Gaelic" languages, Irish, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. As well as the "Brittonic" languages of Welsh, Cornish and Breton. So all Gaelic languages are Celtic *but* not all Celtic languages are Gaelic. Hope that makes sense, sláinte! 🇮🇪

They both do long distance

Haha! In Irish it’s séimhiú 😂

It was in one of the most Irish American neighborhoods in the 60s t0 80s and was just outside Philadelphia. Had a lot of people from County Mayo, including my family (Ballina).

From what I have read, Gaelic is kind of a broad term because there are versions of "gaelic" from France, Scotland, Ireland and I believe even parts of England and Wales although Wales has a very different language. "Irish" is actually its own language.

​@@just_deb Allow me, an Irish boy, to chime in!

And, just like any other language, Portuguese has dialects. My grandparents were all from the Azores and the accent there is different than either Brazil or mainland Portugal.

The Ulster dialect (north Ireland) has some pronunciation differences Like Boston compared to Virginian in the U.S. for example Maith in go raibh agut is pronounced as My instead of ma

I'd be down for that

No relation,but i think you mean in terms of a minority language

Californians speak with the accent that most newscasters use. It is pretty bland, actually. Also, there are different dialects in southern and northern California.

@@pattierotondo1108 There are. I’m from northern CA. Bland and talking like newscasters is a stretch.

I am wondering to

Gaelic is a cover term referring to three Celtic languages - Irish, Scottish and Manx

What is Manx? Whales?

Did you watch the video at all? I literally mentioned all those things - the Gaeltacht, road signs and TG4.

@@AmyMcDonaghGuitar you skimmed over them yes but to say that no Irish person speaks it is clearly as you can see not true yes only those in Gaeltachts use it all the time but it is still an official language of the country and more speakers in the south not really unless Donegal ( ulster dialect Gaeltacht ) will you find northerners speaking it . my cousin is a teacher so she is fluent for that reason alone .

Where in the video did I say that no Irish person speaks Irish fluently? That’s not true so of course I never said that. I specifically spoke about a man who only speaks Irish and never learnt English. And I did mention teachers, I think it goes without saying that you need to be fluent in a language to teach it.

@@AmyMcDonaghGuitar sorry I misunderstood that ! And yes there would be people that would still only speak Irish I’ve heard that the Aran islands have people who have never spoken English at all passing the Irish language down through the families I think I saw a documentary or a video on here about it . Also watched a brilliant Ted talk on the beauty of gaeilge was fascinating . To me if’s a beautiful language that I hope won’t be lost .

Sounds close to Spanish, Dios is God in Spanish
