Overview

The Irish-speaking regions of Ireland

Search for Irish language on Wikipedia.

Wikibooks has a book on the topic of Irish.

Irish (Gaeilge) is a Celtic language of the Goidelic branch spoken in Ireland. Although once spoken across the whole of the island, it is currently a minority language. It is constitutionally upheld as the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland, and it is an official language of the European Union. It is also an officially recognised minority language in Northern Ireland.

Plans

During this year, much support will be needed. It's time to expand this department and provide some basic courses in grammar etc. Hopefully, some people will get involved and we can create some pages for potential learners. Some suggested ideas:

• Irish Grammar
• Irish Pronunciation
• Irish Dialects
• Irish Writing
• Use of Irish in Ireland

Active Members

Bonzostar During this year, I am going to do what I can to expand this department and make it a viable and efficient way to learn the beautiful language that is Irish.
