Thought I would share this absolute banger. Written in Irish by the early medieval poet & monk Colmán mac Léníne sometime between 530-600 AD.

Somehow warms the heart to know that sarky hallion's have existed throughout history and across cultures.

For anyone interested here is the book that I came across this:

Title: Early Medieval Ireland 431-1169
Author: Matthew stout

Recommend for anyone that wants a narrative history that bridges the gap between popular writing and the academic style.

  1. I’m not an Irish speaker but it looks like a decent bit of wordplay on the left.

  3. Not Irish myself, but I really wish more people spoke Irish. It’s such a unique language with so much history behind it. Imagine how different and probably way more fun things sound in Irish. Languages like that carry culture, identity, and a totally different way of seeing the world. Would be a shame to let it fade away when it could be something people are proud of and actually enjoy using.

  4. Does my heart good to see we kept “ara” alive all this time.

  6. I’m fluent and I have no idea what this means lol if you told me just to read the Irish I’d tell you it’s Chinese phonetics
