#irish-language — Public Fediverse posts

Dia daoibh an daoine, I have an Irish language question I'm hoping you can help me with (I'm from the North and only did a wee bit at school, so I'm a bit stumped)

A friend of mine has just got his Irish citizenship and I'd like to write him a wee card with a congratulations/ welcome message as gaelige - any ideas for nice things to write in there?

I'm thinking something like "welcome, Irishman", except a bit more poetic

Bunaíodh mainistir ar Sceilg Mhicíl roimh 800 AD. Fuair Naomh Suibne bás ann déanach san ochtú céad. Bhí manaigh a lonnaigh san áit ar feadh timpeall 500 bliain.
Tá coilíneacht puifíní ann agus clocháin déanta ag na manaigh.

"The 18-24 age cohort had the highest cohort among daily speakers in both jurisdictions, with Northern Ireland reporting more daily speakers at 14 per cent against 11 per cent in the Republic."

The Irish word 'Ancaire' (anchor in English) has its origin in the Norse word 'akkeri'. There's a few of these nautical terms! ⚓️

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

All right! It took a while but I've inserted all of the #irishlanguage subtitles manually into this with the help of friends to help verify some of the #irish - no English translation (yet) because I don't wanna.
