RIP tradition

Sounds like he's speaking with a mouthful of potatoes

A shame to call Dublin the "capital" of Irland if they do not even speak irish there. At least some phrases and words should be known, even I understand some when he speaks slowly and I am sitting in Germany and learning with Duolingo 😂

what instrument is in the background

Na rudaí. 😂Tá mé fós ag gáire.

sounds great

As a Catalan. I really hope, hand on heart, that this isn’t where we’re headed with our language. But it’s not looking good. Sorry this has happened to you Irish people

Love this language. Musical.

The king has returned

Simply weird that irish people don't care

Irish is an official EU language, Luxembourgish is not, but Luxembourgish is far more alive, unfortunately I will say, but it is also under threat. Luxembourgish is used in the school system, with a special class at 4 years old for pupils entering the system, primarily aimed at non-Luxembourgish speakers. It is also used as an access point for prestigious and remunerative jobs. Luxembourgish competes with French, German and now English, but these languages have not worked their way into the brains of people in the way that English has in Ireland. It looks like the Irish want to recognise Gaelic as part of their heritage, but don't want to make the effort to learn it, and I can say it is a difficult language, difficult from the point of view that assimiliation of grammatical issues like lenition and eclipsis are not particularly complicated as such, but you need discipline and repetition to master them, it's not like a simple sentence of English that doesn't change so much in terms of endings. So you've got to be committed to learn Irish. The issue is getting people to be motivated to this point of commitment. I have a great hope for Irish, it is a beautiful language and a unique preserver of unique experience. It would be a huge loss for it to fade from peoples' consciousness

Sounds like kazakh language

Irish should be the most spoken language in Ireland

I’m so happy this exists.

The future of the Irish language looks good, now that Ireland is in post-colonial mode, and a lot of other countries are rediscovering themselves, there's a fervor for Irish culture and language in Ireland with many new Gaelic speakers it's not perfect but it's a start

Amusing, ironic, Shankill sectarian stronghold - Seanchill, meaning 'old church in Irish! Doesn't get more Irish! I think the situation is more promising now - Irish kids peeved, envious our New Irish flooding Gaelscoileanna, maybe making them think twice. EU recognition, brilliant TG4...

Through the length and breadth of the Land, my Irish is about as useful as my Russian

This man be disturbing the peace. I didn't have much more luck with my English in the baile atha cliath. And he's walkin" around like a great bloody Aussie, with that hat on, looking like he's about to pull a cricket bat out of his britches. And he needs to improve his Xhosa, if he wants to get music by Miriam Makeba

The correspondence between, on the one hand, the musical lilt of spoken Gaelic, and on the other hand, the ornamentation in Irish music, becomes so apparent in videos like this one.

French Canadians think this will happen like France didin't colonize half the world. smh. I'm so thrilled for all the folks who fought to have Gaeilge recognized officially.

They should do this again to see how much has changed.

Republicans using the Irish language as a battering ram?! What the hell has England been doing with English, in every single place they've gone, over how many centuries?! Bloody imperialists!

I don't think he was necessarily the last Irish person to speak only their native tongue. The Irish, Scots, Welsh, Manx, and Cornish all had isolated pockets of people who were never cowed by the English and held on to their traditions and language. It's why there are still various dialects in the Celtic languages despite there being standardized forms that are being revived. And from what I know all the Celtic cultures are doing their utmost now that they're free to revive and preserve their culture (except the Bretons, their language has been mostly lost with over 40% of their lexicon now being derived from French and the French government still refusing to recognize any other language as even existing within their borders).

I speak/sing some Scottish Gaelic, it’s so beautiful!!!

Fascinating! I love the sound of Gaelic, sounds so magical!!!

Speaking Irish my arse woke Marxism poision

Huge difference now in 2024

2:46 reminds me of Arabic. If you regularly consume Arabic videos with English subtitles, you'll probably notice how often the person speaking Arabic would use 3 or 4 different adjectives, only for it to be translated into 1 word in English. The reason is that Arabic is a very poetic language, so using many different similar adjectives with slight differences in meaning is seen as the norm, and if you don't do that your language will sound weak and lackluster.

Imagine, had he learned English (even poorly) nobody would've been impressed with that 😅

Manx isnt a dead language there hasnt been significant changes since 1974 Although we dont have people who speak manx as their only language it doesnt make it dead people who say otherwise havent met manx speakers They speak fluently and with manx accents some are better than others but there are hundreds who speak it and there is a community of them keeping it alive thought i would say this as a manx person Also for those who disagree Im a Clague which is traditional manx surname and my family can trace there ancestors back several generations on the isle of man disagreing with a manx person on manx is bazaar.

Teagaim ar ais ag an bhfideo seo go hiondúil chun éisteacht leis a fháil amach cé mhéad dhe a bhfuil mé in Ann a thiscint. Ní thuigim rud ar bith fós… lol

Irish is my strongest bloodline. I have never been there, but the country and the language still have a place in my heart. It is so sad that the Celtic languages have so few speakers. If I ever move there, I will definitely learn one of them.

And to think that Canada nearly made Irish a recognized 2nd official language because it used to have so many speakers, there. What a different world that could have been.

Lady thatcher has arich accent dutch. taught english by irish people

❤can you buy the island

I live in waterford and

She's so cold about cutting tight with her poor parents. I think she was a narcissist with a mission.

Excellent talker, he has the gift of gab.

Omg mo chroí💔

As a Manx person, I have no idea why it’s such a big deal we speak English and us in the Younger Generation feel more British than Manx

As An American who is of decent It makes me so proud to see so many Irish embracing thier own language

Just say irish speaker, why is monolingual necessary.

Isnt the word "No" english?

Brilliant! I'm appaling at unravelling plots but even before I realized what's going on still a little treasure!

beautiful language 👍🏼🇮🇪☘️

it was so cute when the guy working at the cinema was so happy he got to speak Irish with him 😌

As an American with Irish ancestry learning Irish on an app like Duolingo and KZbin videos, this has been “sultmhar.” I definitely am not fluent and am very much a beginner, but the fact that I did recognize many words even without looking at the subtitles means that many Irish, if interested, could learn the most basic words if they want to. And Duolingo is free. Granted the app needs some fixes as the pronunciation is not very good at times and it is a struggle when they don’t teach grammar and spelling rules, but I’ve picked up quite a few words.

Erin go bragh🇮🇪💪

The English subtitles for this is AMAZING

Go raibh maith agat. May the language and history continue on! Éire go Brách!
