  6. Question for speakers of #Celtic languages :BoostOK: : do you apply initial consonant mutations to non-Celtic names?

    (My question is specifically about place names but I thought it'd be useful to know more generally as well)

  11. The joys of the Irish language, #gaeilge .

    There are few irregular verbs, only 11 allegedly. Many of them are very irregular, however. And those are the most common verbs in the language, not unexpectedly.
    A verb can have one form in present tense, and a different, seemingly unrelated form in questions, relative clauses and negations. Then further different forms in past tense and so on.

  16. The original attempt by Refuk (Farage's far-right anglo-centric British nationalist party) in July to legislate a language ban would have criminalised use of Irish, Scottish Gaelic, Cornish or Scots in election materials and broadcasts. Imprisonment and fines would be imposed on those found guilty. Members of parties like Mebyon Kernow, Aontú and Sinn Féin would have been liable for prosecution for mentioning the name of their party during a UK election.

  21. CW: The FFS Project: poll for native / fluent Irish Gaelic speakers about swearing

    I am making a collection of sweary phrases for a grumpy but colourful art project. You can see some examples here
    things.uk/@eclectech/117179795

    I'm after things you might say when shouting in angry frustration at a news headline (where an exasperated "for fuck's sake" is common in English).

    The items in the poll below have all been suggested to me. Please pick the one you like using the most. If you don't use any of them, you do not need to vote, or can tell me what I've missed via 'something else'.

    There was some doubt in the earlier thread about whether 'Póg mo thóin' would be used in this context, but discussions about other languages have shown how personal experience varies, so I figure there's no problem it sitting there in the poll, just in case.

    If this has landed in your timeline & you don't know what I'm talking about, the original thread about the project is here
    things.uk/@eclectech/117071859

    Go raibh maith agat!
