    As a Scot and learner of Gàidhlig, its great to see how it's at least common for people on the street to have a bit of Gaelic, even if just a little to say "I dont". Not the same here and its a shame. Our version of "do you speak gaelic" is "A bheil Ghàidhlig agad?" Or "Do you have gaelic?" Or more specifically "Is gaelic at you?". Thats how we express having things in Goidelic languages, you dont 'have' things, they are 'at' you.

      I studied a bit of Russian years ago and they have a similar structure for the concept of "having". They don't have a specific verb so they say "next to me there is" (у меня есть).
      I wonder if it is a coincidence or an old Indo-European trait that has survived in these languages but not in the rest

    • @fadifarhat-mufu5686
      @fadifarhat-mufu5686 10 місяців тому +6

      ​@@osasunaitorthat structure with the verb "to have" (using "at me" or "with me" and "there is") is found in all the Semitic languages such as Arabic and Hebrew. It is found in Welsh as well (another Celtic language like Gaelic). This led linguists to speculate whether the Celtic languages came in contact with Semitic speakers and developed a Semitic substrate for certain concepts. There are entire UA-cam videos about it but the theory is not universally accepted. The theory is based on the ancient Phoenicians originating in Lebanon but who had a presence in the Mediterranean as sea traders and had significant contact with the western side of the British Isles.

It can maybe teach you the language but it has a very weird ordering system and it is hard to take it super seriously. I would recommend it to anyone seriously trying to learn a language to order a textbook, and create a strict regiment. This is especially important if your goal is to learn more than just a couple basic words.

      That’s already more Goidelic language to grow up with than most of us Scottish/Irish Canadians/Americans would have. I urge you to learn it 💖 Trust me, if you want to know the Irish language you have resources to learn. Where I come from, there are endangered languages with individuals from local communities trying very hard to get to that point where they can have resources, courses and books for their youth to re-introduce themselves to their indigenous languages. We are lucky that we are finally seeing more language resources for both Brythonic and Goidelic branches. And especially for Irish/Gaeilge, you have a lot of music of both contemporary and traditional natures to explore. Guím gach rath ort ar do thuras foghlama teanga🍀

      The Soviet Union actually encouraged Ukrainian during most of its existence, even in areas where it was never spoken. They made a move about Taras Shevchenko is 1951, while Stalin was alive, for Pete's sake. While it is mostly in Russian it includes a long speech in the Borderlandish dialect called 'Ukrainian'.
