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.

Clannad with the beautiful Gaelic song 'Thíos Cois na Trá Domh'. This song is extremely popular in Irish-speaking areas, especially in Gaoth Dobhair (Gweedore in English). Lyrics: Thíos cois na trá domh, in ndoimhneacht na h-oíche An saol mhór ina gcodhladh, 's mise liom féin Na h-éanacha mara ag scairtigh go léanmhar Cosúil le h-anamnacha bochta i bpéin. Iomlán gealaí 's iomlán rabharta Aoibhneas 's ciúineas, 's áilleacht sa domhain Crónán na farraige ag dul siar ar mo chluasa Bog-cheol an uisce ag sileadh san abhainn. Istigh ar na h-inseáin tá sean-reilig bheannaithe An áit inar mhaireadh naoimh san aimsir fadó Tá daoine istigh ann ag chaith seal go h-aerach Ní shiúlfaidh siad thar fán chladaigh níos mó. Bhuail uaigneas m'intinn 's mé ag amharc ar an reilig 'S ...
