    The worst crime the British "empire" committed on Irish soil was the death of one of the oldest languages in the world.They knew that the one true way to enslave a people is to force them to speak a foriegn language(speaking Irish in public was a death sentence not too long ago).I only can hope that the Irish language can find a way back because it is a rare gem in the Irish treasure that is our island.....the whole of our island including our brothers and sisters still under tyranny in the north.Tiocfaidh ar la

      English is Germanic it's a saxonic language
      It's also one of the oldest language
      And it isn't dead since people are still speaking it
      Like Frisian which is also one of the oldest Germanic languages

    • @50nuccio

      English belongs to the Germanic branch of the IE tree, no doubt. But the English we know isn't that old. It's a mash-up of Old English (TRULY a Germanic lang.) and French (after the Norman Conquest) with lots of Latin loanwords (and loanwords from other languages). Add in the "great vowel shift" in the 1400's -- why our vowels are pronounces so differently from almost all other European languages -- and you get Modern English, from about 1500 to today.
      Interestingly enough, the more basic the things you talk about (blood, house, father, love, life, death, fight) the more Germanic the vocabulary -- the more "artistic" or "scientific" the conversation, the more French, Latin, Greek come into play.

      The magnificent creep
      I'm half south -west European Dutch/Frisian
      But I'm born in The Hague
      And half South American creol which is black
      The real first black people
      So I'm the purest from of white and black in one body
      However the Irish where once Gaelic people
      Invaded by the normans in the 5th century
      They were more considered as outsiders
      They are Gaelic/normans they are white.
      However just like all the Germanic tribes
      Very isolated .. but they are white.
      I am a real Rhine land bastard
      Hitler would call me that hehehe
      A real half blood the abomination of Europa
      So I can tell if certain cultures struggle like me
      Against the full blood white
      And Ireland isn't much different
      As Scotland and the Netherlands
      Same struggle same old wars
      For independence against so many nations
      So you were considered white
      But you were also considered as the weak
      barbarians. Which means outsider
      You see Europeans thrive on the conquest
      of other tribes if the bigger neighbor
      Thinks that you weak or easy to be controlled
      They will march their armies
      However they were wrong
      they thought they the smaller nations were weak..
      So the Irish are white
      But they are outsiders different cultures
      All Europeans are basically white
      So from a European perspective
      I consider the Irish white

      So Irish (in Irish) is called gaeilge. So basically it’s in the same language family as scots-Gaelic and manx (from the Isle of Man). Often times it’s called “Gaelic” but that’s not entirely accurate. There are few communities that speak Irish as a primary language and most Irish people learn it in school (like Conor)

      @@javiermelendez1893 it is but hating on English people for the actions of their government is madness. For Irish people today it is up to us to Educate ourselves when it comes to learning our native tongue. Here in the north of Ireland there are 29 Irish medium schools and also a large number of Irish medium schools which are attached to English medium schools. I know from personal experience they do real well. It's crazy how quickly children become fluent in Irish and also because they gain great listening skills they then go on to pick up a third language. For me personally it's not political but a part of our culture I really wanted to get back. I am also learning to play the Bodhran (drum ) and hope to pick up the Uileann pipes in the future too.

We the native people are called Amazighs (Berbers) and we have our own language, culture, and history but we were invaded by the Arabs and they have been trying to Arabize us ever since. Our language is thousands of years old but they were trying to make it disappear...it only became officially in 2011 through a new constitution...but it's still ignored.

      The past tense for "teach" is "taught" not "teached" in that context because you're talking in third person.

      +Blahdeblah52 She first asks him how he is and he replies by saying that he feels great/brilliant. She then asks him if he is looking forward to the fight and he says that he is.
      Then she asks him what he would say about Jose Aldo (and she says it English as well) and to answer in Irish if he can. He replies by saying that he will kick him in the head with his foot inside 4 minutes in round number 1.
      The last thing he says "An bhfuil cead agam dul go dti and leithris?" means "can I go to the toilet?", it is funny because it is basically the first thing you learn how to say in Irish in school.
