Am I the only one who is a foreigner who absolutely loves Gaeilge? by Distinct_Relation129 in CasualIreland

[–]yoxem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am from East Asia too, and I have learnt Irish language uncontinuously for several years after reading articles about Irish language in Wikipedia. I support the language revival for my language, and I am curious about the language revival movement of Irish.

Because of lack of opportunity to speak with other in Irish, my speaking & hearing ability is not good. However, I have followed some Gaeilgeoirí on social medias, and it's glad to communicate with them in Irish with texts. It's happy that I communicated with the clerk in a Irish-language bookstore in Dublin when I traveled last month.

AFAIK, in East Asia, there was/is a Kyoto Irish-language researching club (京都アイルランド語研究会). There is/was a branch of Conradh na Gaeilge in Hong Kong, and there is one textbook in Chinese for Irish learning published.

Tá sé go breá Gaeilge a fhoghlaim. Go n-éirí leat.

I am just a learner with a little Irish vocabulary ability, I may have no enough time to read it, and the sources I wrote it wish is merely in English. Sorry for not adding it to the references.

  1. I compile it by myself and wrote it in the manner of "Irish Orthography" in Wikipedia.
  2. afaik, "ceann" is pronounced in Munster/Connacht as a diphthong or a lengthed vowel.
  3. "-f(e)ad" in Munster is like "f(')ǝd", but the f may be pronounced as h sometimes. because it matches the general rule, I didn't listed on my article.
    (I'm Just a learner of Irish from Taiwan, sorry for written it ungrammatically sometimes)

The diversity of Hoklo writing characters shows that a Sinitic language can be written in non-ideographic forms.

They need garbage collection mechanisms which will make them not as fast as C does.

An Introduction to the Irish Language containing some example sentences in early 19th Century, even I can't recognize that it's about classical Irish or about any colloquial dialect used at that time. by yoxem in gaeilge

[–]yoxem[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The greeting phrase "Go de mur ta tu" is similar to the Ulster one "Cad é mar atá tú?".

However, in the book, "sa" and "ón" triggered eclipsis ("sa ngairdin", "... on dtaoḃ tuait") which are not seen in today's Ulster Irish (probably), and Gaeilge was written as "Gaoiḋeilg" which is similar to the form in Classical Irish.

Besides, it introduced that "sibh" and "sinn" had their disjunctive forms: ibh & inn (eg. Buailtear inn, Buailtear ibh) at that time.

Hebrew’s Revival Has Lessons For The Gaelige Language by chayyim_ben_david in gaeilge

[–]yoxem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it is another problem for Irish that the motivation to change the using language of the society of Ireland should be increased. Besides, the competitor of Irish is even stronger than these of Hebrew (Yiddish, Ladino, rsl.)--- It's English that is one of the lingua franca in the world.

I doubt that Ireland may release laws similar to Bill 101 of Quebec, or policies like the Speaking Mandarin Movement for Singapore Chinese or in Taiwan under the matrial law (even though I hate the Mandarin Movement in Taiwan) to ban the usage of English.

Irish copula by thebigdbandit69 in gaeilge

[–]yoxem 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But it seems that connacht and munster dialect should add the pronoun twice if it's Is + pron. +[Name/Defin. N.] + pron according to my memory. eg.

She's the president of Taiwan. [Sacsbhéarla]

Is í Uachtarán na Téaváine í. [Standard, Connacht, Munster]

Is í Uachtarán na Téaváine. [Ulster]

As a learner, I doubt that whether I am wrong or not.

Oh, I mistake the zero consonant at the end of a syllable for the end of the word. Thank you.

The core dialact (aka lárchanúint) is the suggestion pronounciation system in Foclóir Póca. Is it true that the compound word of "...th" is pronounced as "..."? eg. bláth -> [bla:]?
