It’s amazing the level of decline that can take place within 1-2 generations. It also just pushes home how impressive it is that we still have the language today (albeit at limited usage). People actively fought to keep it alive. It’s definitely something we should value more than we do.
Sad pikachu face.
All started with the dubs surprise surprise
Posting these maps isn’t going to make Irish relevant.
Dingle holding it down
I hope people enjoyed the series and many thanks to OP for pulling it all together into this GIF.
Can I ask, was there a particular anecdote or story that people found especially interesting or touching from the series?
False advertising, video is not 100 years long
By design
That’s one fascinating set of maps.
I got my daughter into a Gaelscoil even though I could barely ask to use the bathroom.
She’s as near as fluent gets, her and her friends when talking switch back and forth with an ease that is astounding.
And I’ve learnt some myself. Not a lot, but honestly I know more now than I ever did after doing it in school from junior infants to my leaving cert.
It’s coz of the early years of poverty strickened Ireland that got used, mugged and destroyed by the then evil Brits… “East India Company” type sh*t… Ireland used to be a laboratory of the Brits… since 11th Century…
Those MFs were savages… mugged and destroyed every piece of land they occupied… (culture, language, economy, lifestyle etc etc)
Scumbags of the millenium…
The current UK has lost all it’s old glory as their ancestors didn’t earn it… they robbed it… That country doesn’t deserve any respect… from any other nation…
Sorry about my language, got nothing personal up against that nation… it’s their evil deeds of the past that made me say it…
Hate when a peaceful country suffers coz of some other uglya** nation that pretended to be a TOP DOG…
Oileán Thoraí – glas fós 🙂
langue? obviously a decline in English spelling as well
If you use GIMP you can set the speed of the gif to be slower, if you ever want to mess around with it. Put double of a slide to make one longer at the end etc
