Native Irish language speaker travels around Ireland speaking only Irish. It doesn't go well.

Such a shame to see the native language dying.

Bookmarked to watch later (1.30 am here).

Poor Ireland - if they don't stop the invasion of the third world (though the Irish are getting restive!) they won't be speaking English, let alone Irish.

Part 2 is here (where he has a little more luck in Northern Ireland but not much!)

Well that was fucking depressing

He meets more and more people he can have a basic conversation with as the series goes on but not much! It'd probably be even worse if he tried again now.

Exactly what I was thinking.

I felt the same half the time in Sydney shitskins everywhere no one speaks English.

And when you did come across another American or Aussie they were always stand offish.

Irish would be easier to learn if the spelling/pronunciation wasn't so fucked up. I realise no language is speak-as-you-spell, except maybe German, but Irish is on another level.

Case in point:

Comhghairdeachas is pronounced "come-gorgeous" and means congratulations

Have you ever seen Anglicized spellings of cherokee words? They're even worse than that. For example, there's a road named Kietuesta. It's pronounced cow-guess-key. Their own made up script will give you a headache to look at because it's like a bastard mix of English, Cryllic, and hieroglyphics.

Hindi is actually speak as you spell. All their words except for like 5 (the absolute most common words) are pronounced exactly the way they are spelled.

And even for those 5, it's a slangy version of exactly what's spelled, not like some whole different thing.

Low IQ language, basically Vedic Ebonics.

[ - ] CoronaHoax 1 point 2 weeksMay 1, 2024 22:55:44 ago (+1/-0)

Exactly I believe it’s literally simplified therefore they were able to get the script right from the start.

Is English etc really any different vs Latin?

Explains a lot. The expressions on some of their faces basically meant they were indoctrinated to believe speaking their native tongue is racist.

I (((wonder))) how that came about?

Thank you!

a native language is the last thing globalists want to see (hear)

[ - ] Sector2 3 points 2 weeksMay 1, 2024 13:02:59 ago (+3/-0)

That's what happens when you have a 'global community'. We can't really go back either, even with a massive CME or nuclear war.

If you watch the episodes you'll see that the Irish themselves are letting the language die out. I've been on a binge watching interviews from the 60s and 70s (pre mass invasion) and locals were totally apathetic to keeping the language alive for themselves. Sad.

They, like most of us Aryan types, have lost our connection to the past. Deliberately of course, though not of our deliberation.

With more people noticing, my hope is they'll attempt to reconnect with their family's true culture and shake off the demoralizing (((influences))) for good.

I wish them luck. It is only through the works of great men who are maligned by today's (((historians))) that we even have an inkling of our pasts. It was from these sorts of folk stories that Tolkien got his ideas.

It's been a long road, but our species has been heading for the cliff at top speed for hundreds of years. Not to be all gloom and doom, but smaller populations will be consumed and eradicated until the whole planet is operated by one group. Then the fun times will really begin.

It's a bright sunny day though, so I hope you're enjoying yours.

[ - ] NeedleStack [op] 3 points 2 weeksMay 1, 2024 14:31:50 ago (+3/-0)

Yes and thank you!

Yep, evidently Irish is taught in all primary and intermediate schools as a compulsory subject and has been for decades, yet half these people cant even hold a simple conversation in their own language, sad times, but they need to actually live and practice their culture daily.

[ - ] happytoes 2 points 2 weeksMay 1, 2024 16:43:16 ago (+2/-0)

I thought that it had pretty much died out. Then (1950?) there was a campaign to revive it, with language lessons being compulsory in school. The children went through the motion of learning because the had to, but learned very little. (source: friend from Ireland)

Nice link. This is from 12 years ago and in that time Irish has gotten much trendier there.

Just HAS to ruin it with stupid music

I fast-forwarded through those parts.
