Jokes aside, I was in letterkenny yesterday and seen a bloke having a go at 2 women for talking a foreign language. Was nice that a child told him they were speaking Irish.
That’s a weirdly long time scale for the map.
By the same measure, nobody was speaking English at the time either.
When Catalans language was almost extinct in the 60s they sent a group of intellectuals to Ireland to study how we lost our language. When they went back they did the exact opposite of everything we did. In 1979 it was recognised as the official language along with Spanish. Today everyone speaks both fluently and the overwhelming majority speak Catalan in their daily lives.
“The Irish-Gaeilge” is an extraordinarily awkward phrase.
This is such a silly abuse of statistics presentation. HA haha
The right image does the trick just fine.
Adding the left one screams ‘I want us all to speak Irish again, because I do.’
Best way to get us all to speak Irish? Ban it,make it an offense to speak it….job done
