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 ...
This is an example of the Irish Language spoken with true effortless speed.Put up to show friends why many people find it difficult to speak the language as it is quite different to English, French, Spanish or Italian.

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!

But in 1922 the new Irish state launched a broad strategy to re-establish Irish as a national language. This book looks at that policy and its impact over the last seventy years. Pádraig Ó Riagáin focuses not only on the evolving structure of bilingualism in Ireland but also on the process of bilingual reproduction. His analysis is based on a series of language surveys conducted between 1973 and 1993.

This pioneering study shows how the language was used exclusively in parts of the prison, despite the efforts of the prison authorities to suppress the language, and the dramatic impact this had on Irish society. Drawing on interviews with the prisoners, and various other materials, Mac Giolla Chriost shows how these developments gave rise to the popular coinage of the term jailtacht, a deformation of gaeltacht the official Irish-speaking district of the Republic of Ireland, to descr...

Challenging received notions, Tony Crowley presents a complex, fascinating, and often surprising history which has suffered greatly in the past from over-simplification. Beginning with Henry Viii's Act for English Order, Habit, and Language (1537) and ending with the Republic of Ireland's Official Languages Act (2003) and the introduction of language rights under the legislation proposed by the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission (2004), this clear and accessible narrative follows the continuities and discontinuities of Irish history over the past f...

A formal Irish-language personal name consists of a given name and a surname.Surnames in Irish are generally patronymic in etymology, although they are no longer literal patronyms, as Icelandic names are.The form of a surname varies according to whether its bearer is male or female, and in the case of a married woman, whether she chooses to adopt her husband's surname.An alternative traditional naming convention consists of the first name followed by a double patronym, usually with the father and grandfather's names.

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...

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?
