  • Jaysus. If I have to explain to you how stats work there’s “literally” no hope for you. 🙄

    The official native language would be chosen by the majority as the official language, as per 2022 and 2016. Especially in the context of the visual used for this thread Your reply was nonsense crap, then You made the point that I had already made in my first post.

    At a guess, it would be the same as any person when a randomer walked up to them and started talking. However if they were to approach them and talk without any proper identity and start putting on a shitty accent, repeating things over to make the same point and saying things like “literally” to attempt to make a point, I guess they would see them as the simpleton they are and either give them a lollipop and a pat on the head, or walk away.




  • What are you shiting on about, what% would I put it at? I’m pretty sure that’s not how stats work. According to the official figures from the census in 2022

    • Almost 1.9 million people (aged three years and over) stated they could speak Irish, an increase of more than 112,500 people since Census 2016 (+6%).

    Your last paragraph is a question that hasn’t been asked. It’s not relevant to this thread. Nobody asked about a minority language. While you and some others may dispute the existence or relevance of the Irish language, that is Irrelevant.



  • A few centuries? It wasn’t until 2006 that the British government gave the Irish language a legal status in Northern Ireland. But, to date there has been no political progress on passing an Irish Language Act there.

    This followed the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 with the British government committed to “recognise the importance of respect, understanding and tolerance in relation to linguistic diversity … including the Irish language”.

    I’m pretty sure it is owned, just has obstacles still in place by the same people that attempted to force people to stop using it, and succeeded for the most part. The recentness of both of those milestones shows that. It also shows that it is not the same thing as your example.





  • The map says “how people react when you try to speak their language” Irish is the native language of Ireland. No matter how many people try to say otherwise even with the petty “people claim to speak it”

    The Irish language is also in the middle of big revival after the British had criminalised it for centuries and tried to kill it. The fact that it still survives is a testament to the people. It is still considered Irelands language, and I know only a handful of a people of a certain creed that would say otherwise or try to dispute it, and they wouldn’t be considered Irish imho.
