Don't worry too much about where that 1% came from. I'm 1% Native American. Any relations I may have in America are the descendents of people arriving in the late 1800s- early 1900s. 😊
I was fascinated to see that you undertook a DNA test to find your ancestry. I did one last year and at the age of 64 discovered that I had been an Irish citizen all my life without realising it. I was adopted at birth and brought by a family in the UK who had Irish heritage. I was delighted to find my long lost family and a brother and sister I never knew I had, they have embraced me and welcomed me to the family. My mother was from Cork and my father was from Dublin, I now have an Irish passport and have been with the help of your videos trying to learn as much as I can about the island of Ireland and the people who inhabit it.
I'm from Hong Kong and I had Irish teachers at school, teaching English, geography, history and .... One was from Dublin, one from Kildare, one from Cork, one from western Ireland, I don't know where, and still another from Londonderry (Derry!). Unfortunately, I didn't manage to pick up an Irish accent from them, but I do recognise someone from Ireland immediately from the way they speak. Pardon me, if I say your Irish way of speaking English captivates me entirely, and throws me back to the embrace of my teachers, who are now in heaven. I visited Dublin twice, first time on St Patrick's day. My wife and I went to Mass in the morning, had breakfast with my teacher, watched the procession through the streets, and passed by the Liffey dyed in green. The same evening, my teacher came over to the hotel and we had dinner together, Irish stew and Guinness, to complete the celebration! Would I be too presumptuous, if I claimed to be half an Irishman? ☘☘☘
I’m from west Donegal Gaeltacht area I’m a fluent speaker the problem I see is a lot of young people have the language but won’t speak it unfortunately they reckon it’s not cool enough should be proud to speak it .
It's strange to think that I'm Italian, I live in Italy, and I and a group of friends of mine are learning Irish alone (of course there are no schools of Irish in Italy...), we help eachother and we tray to speak the more Irish we can... and that's only because we think Irish is an amazong tongue! It's strange to think that there are irish people who already know the language but... they are not interested, while we who speake natively a completly different language are absolutly in love
@@liambyrne591 it can be any reason to love? Because Irish is beautiful, because it's the language of the Heroes of '98, of Wolfe Tone, of Patrick Pearse, of Bobby Sands... because it's a language of freedom instead of a language that you are forced to learn because it rules the economy, because its grammar is fascineting, because of all the beautiful ballads, songs, sean-nós and prayers who are only in Irish. Because of the Irish poetry, because of the irish proverbs, because anything is more beautiful in Irish! Because it is a language in which you can tell your secrets... no one will understand you outside the Gaeltacht at least. Because it's a problem that we are loosing it and I want to do all that I can to maintein it. Because in northern Italy, under all our latin heritage something of the celts is still alive. But after all this is only speaking, cause there's no reason to love, just love
There are areas and pubs in Belfast where only Irish are spoken. The youth in Belfast use Irish much more than older people. Also check out the kids in Lurgan, singing in Irish, they're amazing.
Sad, isn't it? There's more british propaganda for ya.. I reckon they murdered it in some schools where I'm from in Laois....luckily I had native speakers teaching me in both schools and me and the missus speak cupla focal when we can...sin e
Thank you for this. Note the boundaries of the Irish language dialects dont match the modern province boundaries, but much older province boundaries:- ULSTER IRISH - Bounded by the Rivers Erne + Boyne (Louth + North Meath Spoke Ulster Irish CONNAUGHT IRISH - Bounded by the Rivers Shannon, Brosna, Inny + Erne (Clare, West Offaly, West Westmeath, Longford, West Cavan, South Fermanagh + the small piece of Donegal South of the Erne spoke Connaught Irish) MUNSTER IRISH - Bounded by the Rivers Shannon + Nore (Kilkenny West of the Nore spoke Munster Irish LEINSTER - Bounded by the Rivers Nore + Boyne (Leinster Irish was actually very similar to Connaught Irish, whereby you had a Central Irish language dialect, which ran from Mayo to Wexford:- “Connaught / Leinster Irish”)
yeah a chara, i'm from Dublin, the original Leinster dialact is long gone and the irish we learn in school here based mostly on Munster pronunciation. I listen to a lot of Kneecap and hear loads of different pronunciation, but i think it might be the best sounding dialect in my opinion. my gf is a fluent speaker from Galway so I'm learning the Connacht/Connemara dialect. Irish is really cool, and I love how on such a small island we have such variety in our language.
Thank you so much Davy and Keith. 🤗🤗appreciate this video as we have put it on our practice playlist.. helps soooooooo much to hear how it should sound.. 🤗☘️ Btw.. Seo Linn is a grand band and we love that shirt ☘️💖 Slan mo chara William and Jen 💜💙🌱🌹☘️
Thank you for the Irish language lesson. It is very interesting to hear the different dialects. I hope you do more. Keith O’Brien, you look and act so much like my son you could be his twin, (which of course means I think you are gorgeous absolutely gorgeous)
Thank you so much... I'm a Mayo man living 25 + years in NI and would greet using Connaught Gaeilge & have NI friends look at me like I was from a different planet....lol Now I know why? Others would pronounce "Beidh me" as "Beg me"
Thanks, this is really helpful. I'm on 83 day streak on Duolingo and had a wonderful 10 weeks traveling around the North and West of Ireland this summer. Grandpa was from Derry and I'm trying to move out West for good...the scenery and the good folks are so heartwarming. Thanks to you i learned I'll need to translate my Duolingo/ Leinster dialect 😂❤🇮🇪🙏
Is as India mé, ach tá mé i mo chónaí Doire. Tá mé ag foghlaim Gaeilge anis, bunrang dó. Please excuse my poor Irish, but I’m getting there 😂. Also I’ve noticed that down south pronunciation of certain words bit different from how we pronounce here, I take we speak Ulster dialect.I have become an Irish Citizen recently so I thought I should know bit of Irish history and the beautiful language ❤ ☘️
Good video. I'm a native Irish speaker from Cork and my mother is one from Corca Dhuibhne in Kerry so I have the Munster dialect. I attended a Gaelscoil here in the city and a Gaelcholáiste out in Ballincollig but those I went there with quickly lost their Irish once they finished school. I wish they would teach young students the local dialects instead of the caighdeán as people engage with it more enthusiastically. Standard Irish comes across as somewhat bland and forced in my opinion.
I do agree. It’s nice to have a particular dialect that is local to where you come from. For me, even though I come from the southeast, I must say, I love the Connacht dialect!
Hi was just wondering if you would be able to help me. I'm looking to find name of a song, it's like irish celtic style and it goes duh duh duh duh at intro. And it's about 4mins long. Used usually as background music for BGT and shows like that. Emma
Thanks for the great video. And Davy, if that 1% middle eastern is legitimate and not another one of these fraudulent results that some of these companies have been caught inserting, then it would likely be from the Phoenicians who used to trade up there thousands of years ago.
I am from Ireland, and I know the basics, like the Irish you learn from school, and now, i dont know why, but i suddenly have an urge to become fluent. Hopefully I keep this urge up 😅😂 Conas atá tú?, agus slán go foil. Is maith liom Gaeilge, ach ní teanga eolos go leor ar na daoine eile :(
This is interestin as feck... But at 40 with North East Englisg as my dialect it's gonna be hard 😆 Gr.×3 Granda hailed from Cavan/Killeshandra. Comes under Ulster but considerin where Killeshandra is located, would that be more of a Connacht Gaeilge dialect or Ulster do you think?
I’ve named all my pets Gaelic names. My puppy is talamh (if she had been a boy his name would have been wolftone.) My cat is Fenian I had a ferret named un fur. Also that 1% is satirical error. I come back as 1 Filipino the funny part is I was adopted by Filipinos after my father was killed.
As a Scottish Irish Welsh DNA heritage I’m starting to learn the native Gaelic languages of those three countries and I am quite good at it I think it’s something to do with my heritage and it being in my DNA and the languages are very interesting especially Irish.🇮🇪
If you break down theres 20 dialects of Irish within 3 provincal dialectal groups. 21 if you include the Caighdeán. I myself speak South Mayo Irish but I do have alot of North Mayo influences. Theres 3 dialects in Mayo. Gaeilge Mhuigeo Theas, Gaelig Acla agus Gaelige Mhuigheo Thuaidh. South Mayo Irish is similar to East Galway Irish and has a similar sound to Galway Irish but with its own unique pronunciations. North Mayo Irish has very strong Ulster influences from Tyrone because of the Ulster plantation. Achill Island/Inis Bigil Irish has influences from West Ulster. But at heart all 3 are Connacht dialects
I have been trying to learn Irish for many years so in Ireland a couple of weeks ago, I found that I couldn’t remember anything! Desparately trying to remember somethings as simple as “It’s nice to meet you.” Or Happy Birthday. Unfortunately on the latter my mind immediately went to French, so La Breitha Shona Duit came out as happy Anniversaire. Really wish it would stick with me but without anybody who speaks the language around me, it slips away
The 1% is a misread. I did get 2.8% Ashkenazi as well as 97.3% Irish, Welsh & Scottish but when they updated I got 87.1% Irish and 12.9% Scottish and Welsh. The small percentages shouldn't be taken seriously. It just depends on their reference panels and their algorithms. This is why when dna testing companies update their methods you can lose and gain those small trace regions.
You should react to the Afrikaans rebel song called De la Rey by Bok van Blerk. There is an English version on youtube. The reason is the Irish and Afrikaans have a massive linked history. Doing the first and 2nd boer war. When the Afrikaans faced the britsh. My great grand dad was part of the IRA in Wales. He moved down to South Africa to help fight the British. He was then arrested after the war long story, but thats why we always have been in South Africa.
My family were all Irish but unfortunately between adoption and that demographic generally dying quite young we don’t know much Gaelic. I’m from Manchester but I’m trying to learn a little.
Found this video while I was researching keening. I’m an American and mine came back as 100% Irish. 😂. I have a friend who’s a genealogist and was doing some research for a client. Apparently there’s evidence of Persians migrating to Ireland 100s of years ago that might count for the Middle Eastern.

Could go back further, the people that built new grange and all that weren’t celts, they were blue eyed Arabs basically. Then we replaced them. Uberboyo has a two part video series on it.
thank you great video. I am learning Irish. If you got a second DNA test under a different name ? Hhmmmmmm ? 😎 you might get a complete different result.
@@ceciliajones7816 🥹🫣 confidently incorrect. Plenty of writing, you just can't read it lol. Loads of structures and statues , not to mention oral history. Try again. Maybe give it a Google before you embarrass yourself again.
@@ceciliajones7816 can't have an adult conversation with someone who comes to that conversation being ignorant. At least do some research. Why ask a RUclips comment section when you can actually read proper sources about it ?
Your 1% is not rediculous. Case in point, Spannish Ships floundered off the coast of Donegal,many of the sailors survived and maybe intermarried. These individuals were slaves from all over North África.
There is a new travel hub just opened in Belfast about one month ago, £300 + million sterling, languages including Mandarin Chinese, Korean are to be found but not one word of Irish.
And why would there be? We speak English in Northern Ireland as in the Republic of Ireland. The second most spoken language in Northern Ireland is Polish. Hardly anyone speaks or can even understand Irish.
@@raftonpounder6696 If , as a British person on the island of Ireland, you find the proliferation and furtherance of the indigenous language that objectionable, might I suggest returning across your seaborder to Britain if you are so inclined . I can assure you that will not be deflected , we will never desist in our endeavours until we ensure that our native language be given the parity it deserves. Slan leat.
@@jamesoneill2933 so because I live on an island I have to speak the language of another country? Do the English speak Welsh or Scottish? Do the Scottish speak Welsh? Do the Welsh speak Scottish? They live on an island. According to your logic they should. If you wish to speak Irish I suggest you slide on down over the border to actual Irish territory. Surely it’s time the Yanks were speaking Native American. You lot are full of hot air and no brains. Take a step back and think how ridiculous you are. Nobody is keeping you in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. You’re free to leave. The sooner the better.
The 'caighdeán' is a written standard. It is not an oral dialect. There is no living historical Leinster dialect. And 'Conas atá tú' is certainly not an example of a Leinster dialect. It is a Munster form.
I studied Irish language in school and had two teachers. As they were from differenent parts of the country they had totally different ways of pronouncing words. This totally threw me. The speakers in this video also pronounce differently than I would (in Ulster). The language is going to be dead due to all the different ways of speaking for such a small number of speakers.
It’s always fun looking into one’s ancestry. I wonder what the percentage is between Irish, Scottish, and Welsh for you. I tested my DNA as well. I have Irish, English/Northern Europe, Swedish, Germanic Europe, Icelandic, Finnish, and Scottish DNA. Northern Europe & Germanic Europe basically mean there is something else, but they couldn’t pinpoint it.
I really appreciate this least of all to learn that religion is so baked in its part of the greetings. As someone that doesn't hold that same faith I don't know if I should want to go to the land of my ancestors.

Note the boundaries of the Irish language dialects dont match the modern province boundaries, but much older province boundaries:-
ULSTER IRISH
- Bounded by the Rivers Erne + Boyne
(Louth + North Meath Spoke Ulster Irish
CONNAUGHT IRISH
- Bounded by the Rivers Shannon, Brosna, Inny + Erne
(Clare, West Offaly, West Westmeath, Longford, West Cavan, South Fermanagh + the small piece of Donegal South of the Erne spoke Connaught Irish)
MUNSTER IRISH
- Bounded by the Rivers Shannon + Nore

(Leinster Irish was actually very similar to Connaught Irish, whereby you had a Central Irish language dialect, which ran from Mayo to Wexford:- “Connaught / Leinster Irish”)
Well done lads, very easy to follow along!

The 1% middle eastern *could* be the ancient Anatolian DNA of the first farmers to arrive here (look up Ballynahatty Woman)

thank you great video. I am learning Irish.
If you got a second DNA test under a different name ? Hhmmmmmm ? 😎 you might get a complete different result.
Don’t need to use a different name, but maybe try a different company and see if it the same. I have heard they can vary quite a lot.
Hi love hurling
I do myself!
@@davyholden hahahah
But wait. I just saw a video of a guy giving out to people calling it Gaelic.
Look into the Arabic accent. Arabic and Gaelic are very similar. 🎉❤
What 💀
Wonder what was said before Christianity came to the Isle? Anything less religious to said?
You mean like the pagans, druids .. plenty of info on this online
@ not really as there was no written record.
@@ceciliajones7816 🥹🫣 confidently incorrect. Plenty of writing, you just can't read it lol. Loads of structures and statues , not to mention oral history. Try again. Maybe give it a Google before you embarrass yourself again.
Do you wish to insult or have an adult conversation?
@@ceciliajones7816 can't have an adult conversation with someone who comes to that conversation being ignorant. At least do some research. Why ask a RUclips comment section when you can actually read proper sources about it ?
Bhí sé sin an maith..Grmma.
Your 1% is not rediculous.
Case in point,
Spannish Ships floundered off the coast of Donegal,many of the sailors survived and maybe intermarried. These individuals were slaves from all over North África.
None of them left a tangible trace as nearly all were repatriated back to Spain.
There is a new travel hub just opened in Belfast about one month ago, £300 + million sterling, languages including Mandarin Chinese, Korean are to be found but not one word of Irish.
And why would there be? We speak English in Northern Ireland as in the Republic of Ireland. The second most spoken language in Northern Ireland is Polish. Hardly anyone speaks or can even understand Irish.
@@raftonpounder6696 If , as a British person on the island of Ireland, you find the proliferation and furtherance of the indigenous language that objectionable, might I suggest returning across your seaborder to Britain if you are so inclined .
I can assure you that will not be deflected , we will never desist in our endeavours until we ensure that our native language be given the parity it deserves. Slan leat.
@@raftonpounder6696swing and a miss 😅
@@jamesoneill2933 so because I live on an island I have to speak the language of another country? Do the English speak Welsh or Scottish? Do the Scottish speak Welsh? Do the Welsh speak Scottish? They live on an island. According to your logic they should. If you wish to speak Irish I suggest you slide on down over the border to actual Irish territory. Surely it’s time the Yanks were speaking Native American. You lot are full of hot air and no brains. Take a step back and think how ridiculous you are. Nobody is keeping you in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧. You’re free to leave. The sooner the better.
@@thesoul2sqeeze what do you mean Paddy?
The 'caighdeán' is a written standard. It is not an oral dialect. There is no living historical Leinster dialect. And 'Conas atá tú' is certainly not an example of a Leinster dialect. It is a Munster form.
Maith sibh
Yss I do understand some Scots Gaelic.
Lig dom ceachtanna a thabhairt duit. Go saor...
Ainm not to be confused with anam (soul!) 😅
Go raibh maith agat. Táim ag foghlaim go mall.
Do you speak Arabic?
Caighdeán sounds like an insult 😂
I studied Irish language in school and had two teachers. As they were from differenent parts of the country they had totally different ways of pronouncing words. This totally threw me. The speakers in this video also pronounce differently than I would (in Ulster). The language is going to be dead due to all the different ways of speaking for such a small number of speakers.
It’s always fun looking into one’s ancestry. I wonder what the percentage is between Irish, Scottish, and Welsh for you.
I tested my DNA as well. I have Irish, English/Northern Europe, Swedish, Germanic Europe, Icelandic, Finnish, and Scottish DNA.
Northern Europe & Germanic Europe basically mean there is something else, but they couldn’t pinpoint it.
Think being in Dublin Arabic might be a more useful language for the future.......
Mar har ba. Shukran
Conas tá tú?
This is why we must learn
Ah Jaysus, Conan o' Brian is apparently more Irish than you Davey 😂
Ah gway outta that! 😄
Conan must be joking 😂
Conan’s family might’ve been the only one to never mix up with those Normans and Vikings. Be studied by science he should
⚖️🇮🇪🤝🇮🇪🤝🇮🇪⚖️
We all came from the Middle East….the cradle of humanity
I really appreciate this least of all to learn that religion is so baked in its part of the greetings. As someone that doesn't hold that same faith I don't know if I should want to go to the land of my ancestors.
Just say " hello" if it bothers you. If you're easily offended, it's probably for the best though. Xx
I've met a handful of irish teachers who use the word Haigh as in hi 😂
I'm Irish, and not religious, and feel you should stay away too. Isn't it nice to agree? Slán!
yeah just stay where you are please
Maybe you should be upset about English too. You can never say “goodbye” again because that’s just short for God be with you.
Tá mé go hiontach
That’s because WE ALL ORIGINATED FROM THE MIDDLE EAST
You're Scythian, lad.
That's the Middle Eastern part.
I could tell you more, but I'm dying.
@RUclips You abuse us financially. Maybe, you should leave our island? We don't believe in your stupid Judaism belief sex cult.
Slán agat
Irish hello sounds like Islam Greetings 😂
