- What can we make of a language that has 32 words for field?
Writer and broadcaster Manchán Magan encountered the remarkable richness of the Irish language as a young child, and his grandmother Sighle was determined that he would learn to speak it in the place where it was the common language of daily life. This was Muiríoch in the west Kerry Gaeltacht, where Manchán spent his childhood holidays in his grandmother’s house. The Irish he learned there dates back to a time when the multiplicity of words for objects, actions, ideas and feelings reflected a way of life with a profound appreciation for the natural world.
In Dingle Manchán spoke with Ireland’s Edge founder and Emmy winning writer and director Nuala O’Connor about his new book, 32 Words for Field: Lost Words of the Irish Landscape.

The Irish nation is very fortunate to have Manchan Magan. Thank you, Manchan.
Hmm. Unfortunately when he stood as a candidate in the elections of 2016 in Co Longford
he received only 2 % of the votes cast. Obviously the people of
Ireland don't appreciate him as much as you ?
@@2msvalkyrie529 Irish speakers appreciate him. There's no Irish speakers in Longford aside from Irish teachers
Manchan Magan has inspired me to take up the Irish language. I last learned a bit in a boarding school in the north of Ireland. I’ve an ocean of learning ahead of me but I’m encouraged by all the videos an vlogs out there and here I am in the farming heartland of southern Ontario. I was glad to see that your government has come up with some rewards for knowing the language like I think 20 per cent of each branch must be Irish speakers. I only get snippets of Irish news here so I may be mistaken
Lovely to hear you picked up our native language in adult life again Eleanor… so did I. It is part of our identity & a beautiful gift to be able to speak in our native tongue. On the net
If you can connect to TG4 our native Irish tv channel or to our Irish Radio na Gaeltacht you will get to hear & enjoy it even more …beir bua agus Slán ☘️
Fair play to ye both. I want to pick it up again, it's nothing short of magic
I could listen to him talk for the rest of my life.
Manchan Magan is such a bright being illuminating this world with his passionate genius and wise insighful madness that he is truly one of the saints of our age. No better star need exist by which to steer. If you learn from his example you cannot go wrong. Mile beannachtai air.
Loved the lady who conducted the interview, as well as the amazing Manchan Magan!
What a fantastically inspiring man! I just stumbled across an interview with him yesterday, and now I feel like I have a wealth of inspiration available. A very interesting interview!
Dia duit. "H'iontas faoi caint leat".
My lrish is limited; whatever is buried down there from my years in the De La Salle brothers in Ballyfermot ~ a Cork man teacher, Bri. Coleman. He was a good Bro.
However, l was caught by your opening words to Manchán. Lovely way to say, " wonderful to be speaking with you".
Maith thú.
🙏🇮🇪🙏
Heard Manchan on the blindboy boatclub podcast first a while ago, can't get enough of this mans story telling.
i have felt the pull of our beautiful land, i sensed something more was in the land beneath my feet and gained a sense of one with her, great, honorable, we must make our language great agian....
I live beside an ancient irish speaking community, the ' gailtác' was in this village up until it was move to co Donegal in the early 1920s...
i feel the history here, its place names, and townships has a story to tell...under valued irish heritage surrounds us i believe... more time should given to explore and understand...so many land marks and so many questions... the Irish language could honestly be the key to it all ...
Delightfully interesting and informative.
This is a beautiful and magical book!
Go híontach! ❤️
Ar fheabhas, absolutely gorgeous
Maith thú Manchan - Ardfhear!
I'd already begun learning Gaeilge a few months ago when I came across one of Manchán's videos and I was hooked..☘️✨💚🤍🧡
Míle buíochas a Manchán
Is leabhar iontach é seo. Rinne Manchan argóint suimiúil ann faoi an ceangal idir an Gaeilge agus ár gcuid áit ar an tír agus ar an domhan agus ar gcaidreamh le gach rud timpeall muid freisin. Tá sean téarmaí sa leabhar seo nach bhfuil a labhairt níos mó agus cuireann sé brón orm. Ach tá dóchas ionam anois go beidh ár dteanga ag éirí as a glúin mar geal an saothar Mangan agus duine eile cosúil leis.
Does Manchan still think the language is dead? That’s what he said in Dublin a few years back
Seo é an leabhar ceart go loir
Iontach
Go hiontach ar fad.
Irish is an English word Ireland is an English word what happened to Gaelic why so opposed to Gaelic
Irish means the dialects of Gaelic spoken in Ireland maybe .. not including gaelic spoken in Scotland.
Terrierorist??

IRELAND ONLY FOR THE IRISH UNDER GOD -SAVE YOUR CULTURE AND YOUR COUNTRY !!!!
