  5. Our beautiful Irish language is more consistent than English because it has borrowed less from other languages than English - which is like a magpie!

    Irish has been influenced by other languages, including Latin, Old Norse, Norman French, and English.

    The Irish word 'Bád' (boat in English) has its origin in the Norse word 'Bátr'.

    Focail Gaelach as Lochlainnis ó dhúcas: bád. Is teanga álainn í an Ghaeilge ach bhí tionchair inti ó theangacha eile.

    I liked this episode a lot, I thought it captured the multi-factored deterioration of the language playing out over a couple of hundred years.

    While #AnGortaMór / #IrishFamine is one of the pivotal events behind the collapse of the language, it is far from the only factor

  27. The New English-Irish Dictionary states that Veiniséala (Irish for Venezuela) is a masculine noun:
    focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/ve
    But the English-Irish Dictionary (de Bhaldraithe, 1959) says feminine:
    teanglann.ie/en/eid/venezuela

    The same difference goes for Canada too, by the way.
