      The english spelling of Gaeilge is not gaelic it's just 'Irish', the term you are looking for is the Anglicised version. Besides nobody uses the term Gaelic to refer to the language because there is more than one gaelic language. People try to sound intelligent when actually the correct way to say it is either 'Irish' or 'Gaeilge'. Nowhere in Ireland do they refer to it as Gaelic, that is something foreigners seem to do... I mean I don't know if your Irish or not but I do know that that is actually something that really irritates Irish people..

      @@markhenley3097 The standard Irish accent developed as part of a dialect continuum stretching from west country England to Dublin in the 15th/16th and 17th centuries. And it slowly spread from Dublin to the rest of the country.
      (Ireland is known for it's many regional accents, but experts on the English of Ireland say that the regional accents are dying off and being replaced by the standard 'RTÉ' accent originating in Dublin, which is the way people with status tend to speak. This is especially noticeable in younger women, even as far south as Kerry very few women under 35 will have a regional accent, and as all experts in linguistics know, women are generally the forebearers of language change across cultures as they always adopt the higher status way of speaking and carry new trends).
      And I'm not surprised that people in the south of England have a similar tone, because the south Dublin accent developed from people trying to sound more English years ago. Add in to the mix the effect American mass media has had on the speech of young people everywhere and it's not surprising at all that there are similarities!

In many parts of the US back then, people were grouped into four main "races": white, black, Native American, and Irish. This kind of discrimination actually lasted well into the 20th Century and didn't really go away until the Cold War. Remember when JFK was elected president and how so many people feared having an Irish Catholic president for the first time?

    I think her accent is not from where she's from (since she traveled so much during her formative years). It's actually her parents' accents. Her parents are her anchor, her roots, her identity and her guide. She never lost it because it probably makes her feel grounded, plus, everybody loves it so she jokingly says that it's too late to change it now. I don't get why some Irish people call her out on her "fake Dublin" accent. How can she fake something like that? She's had it since she was a child. Is she supposed to have a Carlow accent? She grew up everywhere. The only stable accent she's heard were her folks'.

    As someone trying to learn Gaelge (Irish), I find his reactions to the names relatable.

But if you take away that writing system and only focus on the sounds of the language, it sounds so melodic in a "welcome home" kind of way.

    Irish pronunciation does make sense according to Irish orthography. Most people in North America already know how to pronounce the name Seán ("shawn") - in Irish, the letter S is pronounced "sh" when it's next to an I or E, but as "s" everywhere else. So the "sh" sound in Siobhan shouldn't surprise people too much.. and when you see the name Saoirse, it begins to make sense that the first S is sounded like a "sh" while the second is "s". (I'm not going to get into vowel combinations like aoi, though, because it may make your brain hurt.)
    And the name Saoirse is beautiful - it means "freedom" in Irish Gaelic.

      @PucaCiuin 5 лет назад +27

      @@elgranlugus7267 Might be easier to just say "h" isn't a letter in Irish, it's just a modifier to the previous letter, so whenever you see an "h" in Irish, you should expect it and the previous letter to make a different sound than it would in English.
      For those curious, "h" takes the place of an accent marker (a dot above the letter) on previous letter that was standard in Old Irish. I don't know this for sure, but my guess is they made that change to make things easier with the introduction of the printing press (since they had plenty of "h"s lying around, but consonants with dots probably would have to have been specially made)
      So a name like Siobhan using the old orthography would be Sıoḃan. (I hope RUclips uses a font that renders that correctly…)

      Both "bh" and "mh" are pronounced like both V and W depending on a few things. mostly the broadness/narrowness* of the vowel/consonant. GENERALLY, if the nearest vowel is broad then both "mh" and "bh" are pronounced like an English "w". If the vowel is narrow, then it's time for a good auld "v" sound.
      In "Domhnal", the vowel is broad, so it's "Dow-nal", "Doe-nal", or similar.
      In "Caoimhe", the vowel is narrow, so it's like "Kwee-Veh" or "Kee-Vah" depending on your accent, what part of Ireland you're in, and a little bit of personal preference. (ao is ee for REASONS, the "i" in the middle there is to warn you that the "mh" is narrow and so is silent, and I say "it's like" because this name is said in variety of ways depending on who's talking, some people would say it ends with an "ah" sound some with an "eh" sound. )
      However!
      Niamh has the "mh" at the end so it's a "v" sound ... so Niamh is like "Neev", even though the closest vowel is broad...
      *the board vowels are the one that make your mouth round, the narrow make your mouth narrow... i, í, e, é are narrow; a, á, o, ó, u, ú are board. The couplets ("ae", "ea", "ao" "ui" "iu" and so on) are tricky, and sometimes have a subtly that's lost on people... like some nationalities trying to get their L and R sounds right.
      Why not just use "w" or "v"?!
      Those letters aren't in the Irish Alphabet, and within the Irish Language there are many reason to distinguish between "mh" and "bh" as the 'h's come and go in many words depending on case, tense and so on...

      Germanic languages use the "V" , however, it seems that, in proto-germanic, commonly the use a "W" sound.

      Éabha is Ava in some cases too, though, since a fada on an E gives it an “ay” sound.
      Máire can be pronounced “maw-ruh” either, as a fada on the A gives it an “aww” sound.

      Mon Lemon...Although you are correct in saying Irish accent, it is a very broad term. There are many Irish accents, at least one for every county. The accent she´s using is a Dublin accent. In Dublin there are several accents and they tend to be strongly linked to social class and education. Her accent could be described as low-class Dublin.

My name is Sean. I've never really felt a connection to my heritage...but I wish I did. It's amusing to me how Colbert, Conan, and Jack White..._all three_ come from giant rust-belt Irish Catholic families. Though, not all the cliches are true; I'm not big on alcohol...while I adore marijuana. Then again, which one of those is *_green?_* ; )

      @@aonghaspringle7822 I don't run into too many people who claim Scottish only. It's almost always Scots-Irish, it seems, and at least where I'm from, that's probably more accurate than not. A LOT of Scots (and Irish, to a lesser extent) ended up settling in Appalachia back in the day, to the point where in some of the more remote hollers, you still have words in common usage that come directly out of Scots vocabulary. I watched a documentary once about the dialect here, and there were a surprising number of people commenting that the people in the documentary sounded an awful lot like old timers in their countries. One person in particular was like, "Why does this guy sound exactly like my grandpa, who's never left Ireland in his life?" lol Personally, I don't hear it. Appalachian accents to me sound NOTHING like Irish or Scottish accents. But it seems others think otherwise, so who knows.
      But that's what you get in what's still a very young country full of immigrants: a whole lot of people trying to find their identity through their ancestry. I think that's pretty cool, actually, and if it leads to people developing an interest in other countries and cultures, more power to 'em.

    • @zyxwut321
      @zyxwut321 7 лет назад +6

      The cinematography was very nice. I remember it looked kind of like a moving painting in some scenes (especially in Ireland or when they went to the beach at Coney Island). The story is universal in some ways but it's also very specific in ways that might not be as transferable to today. It's more about the white ethnic American immigrant experience of previous generations then the more modern multiracial immigrant experience of today. European immigrants, especially if they already spoke English, were obviously more able to "assimilate" (i.e. become white) and more quickly and easily become and be considered "American", especially by the time of the post-World War II era that the film was set in.

    • @rhwinner
      @rhwinner 7 лет назад +1

      Yes, it is a look back to the Ellis Island as opposed to the border or refugee experience today.
      Chaplin was obviously a big influence in the earliest scenes. John Crowley had obviously spent some time watching _The Immigrant_ before filming.
