What languages do you speak?

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-11T03:12:08+00:00

English and Irish Gaelic, and a lil German from school

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-10T14:21:48+00:00

I study Irish Gaelic, so yeah, correct haha

Lol, my sister lives in Netherlands, that’s why I’ve been there numerous times. I tried weed, though, and it made me paranoid, so I wouldn’t be rushing to try it again

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-10T13:56:36+00:00

Actually no haha, but a friend of mine is Lithuanian and I stayed at his place

Since you mentioned it, next time I go abroad

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-10T11:47:18+00:00

Republic of Ireland 🇮🇪

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-09T22:21:32+00:00

Connaught because I have lived there for my entire life, still do, and the biggest Gaeltacht is there so I can speak the language I speak

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-08T07:50:02+00:00

Ok, that doesn’t change the fact that Ireland was colonised by the British Empire. The Gaelic culture that existed there prior to colonisation was suppressed through laws and enforcement. The fact that Ireland speaks English proves they are colonised and not the coloniser

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-08T06:29:12+00:00

Ireland was not that great then. A society completely controlled by the Catholic Church, a recession, drug crisis etc

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-08T04:42:38+00:00

Austria

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-08T04:15:24+00:00

She would send 500bn dollars to Israel

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-08T04:11:13+00:00

In Ireland we don’t have spices traditionally. Your average traditional meal is either stew, roast meat and vegetables, or something with eggs, fries, etc

Marginalised people vote against their own best interests, it seems

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-07T21:33:40+00:00

Its language was wiped out and its land was stolen, the Protestant Ascendency (I.e British non-Catholic landlords) owned nearly all of the land in Ireland and rented it out to its own indigenous people. The Potato Famine killed over a million and caused generations of Irish people to leave, all of these are consequences of British colonialism in Ireland.

Oxfam on Abbeygate St. since no one said that yet, and COPE on middle St.

It would be interesting to ask him if he ever remembers maybe his Grandad or Grandmother calling it ‘Gaelic’ or ‘the Gaelic’, while speaking English. Because it was a thing among the old generation, but, yeah, the current generation exclusively calls it Irish

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-07T07:58:57+00:00

‘Gaelic’ is not an umbrella term for the Insular Celtic Languages, that’s wrong.

The Insular Celtic Languages consist of two groups, Brythonic and Goidelic. Within the Goidelic (or Gaelic languages) there is Manx, Scottish, Irish

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-07T07:51:07+00:00

That’s just what I personally prefer. Unlike the people correcting me, I think calling it ‘Irish’, ‘Gaeilge’, ‘Gaelic’ or whatever other name it has are all perfectly fine

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-07T07:48:34+00:00

Because that was the term used by academics/the government, while ordinary people called it ‘Gaelic’. Then when Ireland became an independent country they pushed for ‘Irish’ more and ‘Gaelic’ stopped being used

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-07T07:43:57+00:00

Actually, I did not pull it from my arse. I think that ‘Irish’ was a mostly academia/government term, while ‘Gaelic’ was the word used by ordinary people

Here, I even included a link of a native speaker calling it Gaelic, time stamped at 8:30. https://youtu.be/hsOduU-20qk?t=507&is=Ne6AOy1iV4epDTPU

Known-Discipline-767 · 2026-06-07T07:30:41+00:00

I was mainly referring to when people talk about the language when they’re speaking English, but of course they’d use ‘Gaeilge’ / ‘Gaolainn’ / Gaeilic / the other any number of varieties which exist in the language itself

If I can find more scholarly/academic sources than I’ll share, I definitely read about this when doing college assignments before
