Irish (Gaeilge), also referred to as Gaelic or Irish Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family, originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish people. Irish is spoken as a first language by a small minority of Irish people, and as a second language by a rather larger group. Irish enjoys constitutional status as the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland, and is an officially recognised minority language in Northern Ireland. It is also among the official languages of the European Union. The public body Foras na Gaeilge is responsible for the promotion of the language throughout the island of Ireland.
Irish was the predominant language of the Irish people for most of their recorded history, and they brought it with them to other regions, notably Scotland and the Isle of Man, where through earlier branching from Middle Irish it gave rise to Scottish Gaelic and Manx respectively. It has the oldest vernacular literature in Western Europe.
The Irish people (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are a Celtic nation and ethnic group who originate from the island of Ireland and its associated islands. Ireland has been inhabited for about 9,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland). For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). Anglo-Normans conquered parts of Ireland in the 12th century, while England's 16th/17th century (re)conquest and colonization of Ireland brought a large number of English and Lowland Scots to parts of the island, most notably Northern Ireland, where they form a separate and distinct ethnic group.
There have been many notable Irish people throughout history. The 6th-century Irish monk and missionary Columbanus is regarded as one of the "fathers of Europe", followed by Kilian of Würzburg and Vergilius of Salzburg. The scientist Robert Boyle is considered the "father of chemistry". Famous Irish explorers include Brendan the Navigator, Robert McClure, Ernest Shackleton and Tom Crean. By some accounts, the first European child born in North America had Irish descent on both sides; and an Irishman was the first European to set foot on American soil in Columbus' expedition of 1492.
As part of Seachtain Na Gaeilge, we recorded a Vox Pop on Quay Street, Galway City on 8th March 2014. We asked people to tell us if they thought the Irish language was important, and asked them where possible to answer in Irish. We recorded for 1hr 45mins and in that time were blown away by the amount of Irish speakers we met, and by the great opinions they had. Many thanks to everyone who stopped to talk to us. Keeping the language alive is important, and everyone in the country can play their part in their own way. Enjoy the video :)
Hey everyone, hope you all enjoy this little taster of the Irish language! If you have any questions or video requests leave them in the comments and you never know!
Seeing if Irish people can actually understand or speak their native language. For everyone who says this sounds like Simlish: http://bit.ly/1DBmUBL More Irish Language videos: http://bit.ly/1DJcBvx Best of Clisare: http://bit.ly/1B242x6 I felt bad writing one of the translations, because it's literal (google) translation was different to how it would be understood in conversation so I wrote both. Before you ask, bhuail me LE MO chara is I MET my friend, she actually said Bhuail me mo chara so I HIT my friend. Easy mistake though in fairness. This was good craic but it wasn't to make a point. I know my Irish isn't perfect either, and some of the translations probably aren't spot on but blame Google for that because I double checked them all. It's all for a laugh. SUBSCRIBE for ...

You're not fluent in a language until you can curse in it. I have to let you know that this video is in no way associated with 'Seachtain na Gaeilge' or the great work they're doing.

Just some thoughts on how the market for Irish speakers is so huge and yet not overly saturated. An editorial is just the writers thoughts on a page and really that is what this video is!

Author of the bestselling 'Fluent in 3 Months' Benny Lewis introduces his new language-learning series, 'Language Hacking'. Available for French, German, Spanish and Italian, the series showcases the wisdom of self-confessed language-hacker Benny, aka The Irish Polyglot. Ireland-born Lewis could only speak one language—English—in 2003. But after he abandoned traditional language-learning methods, the blogger and author realised he was able to quickly learn other tongues to the point that, now, he speaks more than ten languages—all self-taught. Helping others learn through his blog and Youtube videos, Benny passes on the tips and tricks he's developed to help you crack the language of your choice.

WELCOME TO CLASS! fáilte do rang! SUMMARY: I wanted to introduce sentence structure right away because it is different than most languages. In FACT, less than 25% of the world's languages follow the same as Irish. It's a bit backwards, but lends itself to some funny Irish phrases. As far as my background goes, I am a self taught Irish speaker. I was around Enya's music and many others growing up so I was used to the way it sounded. It wasn't until I was older I found out the name of the language and began translating lyrics to the songs I knew, and found resources online to learn. The pronunciation came naturally for me. When I finally studied Irish in University, it really solidified what I already knew and gave me better fluency. I continue to learn Irish in class. P.S. The accents are...

Interesting documentary about the status of the Irish language and it's future - compared and contrasted against other languages.
BBC journalist and broadcaster William Crawley attempts to learn the Irish language. As well as learning the language, he learns about the language and its place in society today. At the end of it all he attempts to co-present BBC Radio Ulster's Irish language radio show Blas. But was he able to keep his nerve?

Professor Brian Ó Broin of William Paterson University (WPUNJ) giving a paper on the Urban Irish-language community to the Irish studies program at the University of Connecticut, Storrs on March 27th, 2012. Professor Ó Broin claims that the urban Irish-speaking community has grown noticeably in recent decades, but that several problems have arisen: 1) Second-language speakers are part-time speakers, often speaking a sophisticated pidgin. Their language activity often reflects a split cultural identity, whereby they readily take on a Gaelic identity for Irish-language events, but revert to English culture for day-to-day living. 2) A significant number of people are choosing to raise their children in Irish but, not being native speakers themselves, feel that they are facing significant pare...
