Hearing English spoken less and less. Will it soon be 'just another language' in Ireland?

- I can't help but notice how the English language seems to be disappearing from Ireland. It may not be our national language technically (that might be Irish). But it's our native tongue at the end of the day and is spoken by 99% plus of Irish people living here. Some days in public spaces around the city, I feel like I could be in any country.
English is just another language in England..
I lived ALL over Asia and NOT ONE - NOT ONE - would accept this active cleansing of their culture and people yet we ARE TOLD ITS FANTASTIC- told not to believe our eyes and ears and history and dna and emerging chaos
I'm nt getting locked up 4 anyone never mind this backward dump of a country just glad I've never had kids
Hi ,was swimming there on Tuesday evening , very warm and so busy . I made my way homeward, their was a lady In Arabic garb who had 3 children 2 on Scooters
a bike , asked 3 times to excuse me as I wanted passed, she gave me a terrible look on the 4th time she ignored me , the boy on the bike understood what I wanted , and stopped to let me pass, his mother became angry and pulled his bike in front of me , she then pointed to the road and told me in English to get on the road , that was the last straw I pushed passed gave her look .,and carried on my way . With her shouting at me .i found it upsetting……….primary schools near where Ukrainians are living , the Irish kids are being taught Ukrainian . Unbelievable.
That's odd, they're usually full of friendly chat!
@@TheUnbrokenMan I agree they are usually full of chat , and friendly.

The Irish have been anglicised just like the Scots and Welsh. Get on track learn Irish , promote it, as your speaking English, a foreign tongue in Ireland , brought in by foreign colonialists .
Yes, unfortunately they never left. If the Irish were black, you see the descendents of the British EVERYWHERE. In the Gaelscoil's, in the cafés and in the very best areas.
But as they are white like us, you find them instead in their surnames.
Simon Harris, Jack Chambers and so on and so on.
The Bronze age ancestors of the Irish and British killed the original inhabitants of Britain and Ireland, the neolithic people who built Newgrange and Stonehenge.
Originally, the Irish were not Celtic, that culture was adopted by them and probably some words from the Celtic language. Our European ancestors' language was Proto Indo-European, a language that has continually evolved into many of our languages today and which continue to evolve.
The Scots made the Brittonic Picts speak Irish and the English are 60% Brittonic, only 40% Anglo-Saxon. The English culture was also largely adopted by the Brittonic Celts, maybe similar to how Ireland and Britain adopted Celtic culture. Even French was imposed on the English for a few hundred years, hence the evolution from old to middle English.
You can't stop evolution. I can hardly understand Shakespeare, never mind middle English or old English.
By all means, learn Irish and speak it as much as you can. Some people enjoy learning Old English and there are some language experts trying to piece together Proto Indo-European.
The more we hold onto things sentimentally the more we suffer because we all have to let go of everything in the end.
Watch a youtube video called Proto Indo-European language comparison. Old Irish is on there with Latin, Greek, Persian and Sanskrit.
I’m glad it’s becoming another language.. it holds too much power in Ireland, I’d love for gaeilge to become more spoken
The tower of Babel, the lack of English being spoken is only a problem for Irish people as most foreigners can speak our language ( English ) but we can't speak their languages. It feels very alienating in your own country
Our language isn’t English. Anyone who can only speak English is the reason why those of us who speak Irish and send our kids to Gaelscoileanna have to switch to this foreign shite in public
I am an American of British and Italian ancestry. I can`t believe that while Ireland is becoming LESS Irish every year that goes by , there are people in the comments complaining that Gaelic isn`t your main language. What you SHOULD BE concerned about is all the immigrants that your government is letting flood in ---- Ukrainians , people from throughout the Muslim world , sub-Saharan Africans , gypsies , etc. etc. You should be THANKFUL that you speak a language ( ENGLISH ) that is understood around the World , for when you have to FLEE Ireland !!
Ireland is/was loved by us and the world because WE MADE IT SO - The country IS the people nurtured by it NOT THIS MOB OF 2nd/3rd world - Look at North England and London -
I was born in Ireland but we emigrated Ireland for Australia when I was two. Mum was from County Mayo and Dad was a Dun Laoghaire man, two different accents. When we got to Australia we had to learn Australian. I say Australian (strawn) because it certainly wasn't English.
I don't notice race too much, I notice foreign and home based weapons walking around looking for targets.
All part of the late Greedy Bettys 45 year UK caliphate legacy replacement plan.
Cheers, from a Galwayman abroad, I enjoy your takes.
calli g people far right is completely wrong, your lovely beach is still protected for now, i went to my place of peace, and had to leave after the local Mosk empetied and came, blaring music and the noise was unbelievable. They dont give a dam.
Crazy mindset that certain people when you think of it why would you want a society where nobody can communicate easily weird
Love love love your videos....and YOU are the REAL DEAL...and so bloody funny you could do stand up comedy!!!Keep them coming...2nd gen Galwegian here in US!!! I've commented before you could be related...Grandmother an O'Saughnessy from Oughterard...and I'm Boston born but living like the Scottish commenter below in New Hampshire🙃thank you for what you're doing..it's awesome
Love your walks and conversation, at least you can interact with a few Irish people. Keep up the good work. 😊
Great video and a great channel,and I agree with everything you said.
Excellent video, very well presented.
Hi Dave.
Really?! I mean, REALLY?!
@@rosshaugh7937 What ?
@@seamusdoherty are you hard of hearing, Seamus?
At least this time they are not using Tally Stick to destroy a language
This one really struck home. I left Scotland to get away from the very thing your speaking of and I now reside in the sparsely populated part of the "Live Free or Die" state of New Hampshire in north eastern US. It's great here and all I hear is english (or at least what the yanks call english)😂 I just couldn't stand the way the government is going and so far trading the Scotish highlands for the New England highlands has been a good move. Keep the observations going, look forward to hearing them.
America is probably worse than Scotland.
Same as in many English towns.....
At least English is indigenous to those towns.
English is a foreign language in Ireland. We’re the only independent nation in Europe who doesn’t speak its own language. They laugh at us in places as they don’t believe we’re really independent - how could we be when we the majority of us converse with each other in the foreign language of our colonizer rather than our own language. Have a lot of respect for Koreans and others who had a foreign colonial language shoved down them, but stood up and relearned their own language when free.
I noticed a lot of editing on the explanation 😂😂 I’m exactly the same it rubs me the wrong way. The multiculturalism.
I cut out some of the draggy bits. Edited yes, but by no means censored!
@@TheUnbrokenMan I wasn’t implying you weren’t telling the truth I was laughing because you were struggling to explain why you’re against the multiculturalism.
Not many days when you could do a walk-and-talk , paddling in the sea !
It should be just another language, it's the tongue of our colonial masters. We should be worried about preserving/reviving Gaelic. English is the lingua franca globally for now, it's not going to be lost anytime soon
Well said. I can't believe this guy in the clip. Another West Brit..
@@rosshaugh7937 yeah, the auld you're in Ireland speak English crowd are honestly what holds us back as a people. More British than the Brits them
We should be speaking English, its a really useful language. We don't get much benefit of speaking solely Irish. Having both would be nice but I'd certainly prioritise English over Irish any day of the week.
He's about 40 mins from Coláiste Chiaráin, An Cheathrú Rua, Co. na Gaillimhe
@@box792 speaking English with proficiency isn't something we'd have to worry about losing, look at the Dutch. Having the people of the country bilingual would allow many more to grow their language capabilities. Most people here being monolingual only reinforces the malignant shame we suffer from as a society
Got an email from my work union to go to March for Palestine.Never got one for any March for Ireland?
March for nobody just the irish.... esspecially on Irish soil..and I'm English born to Irish parents grandparents great grandparents many of Them buried on this island even if I'm not genetically Irish I love eating pigs products purposely unkhosur unhalal only flag i fly on gable house all year round 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪agus tá gaeilge agum a labairt....and i wont march for anyone else on irish soil only the irish.see from past long ago migrations I really have no idea how much Irish genetics is in me I've handshape genetic trait that's not Irish..but it won't stop me flying the Irish flag on gable of house no matter what
I would only March for Ireland.100% .
100% March for Ireland.
You will eventually be told your job is required for a foreigner.
I stay here . Beautiful.
What was I thinking to have been in Galway & did not go to Salthill? [Noisey palm-slap to forehead!]
Do you speak Irish? I couldn't pick up much more than SLAINTE, or TIOCFAIDH AR LA.
Heard it some, particularly in the West, and over the border in the North. Sounded beautiful.
I guess, like English, that's diminishing, too.
Perhaps it's time for a new Celtic Revival.
Or maybe it's just time to let it go.
"Now and in time to be,
Wherever green is worn,
Are changed, changed utterly . . ." (W.B. Yeats)
Thank you for the walk, & your thoughts, in Salthill.
Great that Irish is coming back and replacing English
Stop moaning, were you not taught Irish (at school), Can you teach your lad Irish ? It's important to learn Irish - speak As Geailge then you'll have no complaints.
I think you are an Incredible Guy!!!
Your video is right on…
In the states we’re use to that …
but you would like to go to your homeland and have the experience of being with your kinsman…
I traveled all over Europe this summer and you really didn’t get much of an authentic experience in hardly any of these countries…Maybe the outskirts and countrysides of the European countries..
When I was in Dublin this summer ..
I asked all the taxi drivers and waitstaff
“ what made you decide to come to Ireland” and all of them said..
“The Irish people are the friendliest people on earth “
We can’t argue with that .. and we’re the jolliest and strongest..
But I agree with you..
I had an amazing experience in Dublin with a lovely delicious meal and Irish dancing..
IT WAS BRILLIANT ❣️❣️❣️
God Bless You and Your Beautiful Family ❣️
Its only new to Ireland because immigration and tourism is relatively new to Ireland. For the previous 100 years it was the Irish immigrating, we have only just got to the post blight population. Its good that our children dont need to leave anymore and 1/2 the population growth is down to returning Irish children. If I moved abroad I would speak to my kids in Irish as I would want them to know their native language.
I drive around the city from time to time and one thing I have noticed is how hard it is to see a local/ Irish person. We are becoming a minority. No far right or far left nonsense here just a general observation.
Let's hear more French.
Salthill is in county Galway.
To be honest, linguistic diversity is a good thing, if they speak their language in the home/private conversations in public but English/Irish to other people in public I don't see any harm in it.
I see you mentioned that you don't know if being exposed to all the languages is good for development, and it's been verified that exposing children to other languages is beneficial for cognitive development and makes learning other languages easier, because I grew up around Irish in the 90's (lost it when I went to an English speaking school but was always around it and re learning it now) it made it easier to pick up French and other languages.
There's an attitude in English speaking countries that refuse to speak other languages which I think is lazy, even look at Irish people's attitudes to learning our language 😭
Same by me ' disgrace!!
‘Globalists’🙄Get a grip Huey.
Eh excuse me ? It's petrol station not gas station 😊
I was booted off You Tube earlier today~~and I think it's because of a post I made here. Or a comment I copied from one of your posters. I see my posts that were only positive regarding this channel were flagged..must have used a bad word..wtf crazytown ..let the games begin
What? Who gives a shit if English, a language that’s only been spoken by a majority here since the 1830s, gets lesser and lesser.
We should speak our own language. Send your kids to the Gaelscoil, end this nonsense of us going around speaking to each other in a foreign language.
English is a foreign language. The less it's spoken in Ireland the better. Labhair as Gaeilge.
Math thu!
There will be angloteachts soon
If you go back south Connemara now the bushes are sparse. You'll see some of the old sign s n Irish carved in stone. All the new signs are in the new scripture, new sounds. All the phrases will disappear, the culture, language will gone out of it and it will be nothing but a literal translation of English.
In time they'll need a doctor to translate the old scripture and they'll tell them whatever suits them!
Ceapaim go bhfuil sé ceart go leor go bhfuil an Béarla ag imeacht. Tá sé in am againn ár Brexit a bheith againn.

Love your insight, great walk and talk, and well shot!
Thanks a lot!
An uncle walked into an Irish bar in New York (he's very dark and had a jet black afro) with a few aunties and relatives speaking Irish. The bar man turned around and told them "we don't serve you people in here"!
That's what ya get for selling your identity as a brand!
Yee're paying rent to the Norman's and Saxons and the Anglo Saxons are policing yee!
You can have your coulourdy jerseys and sing songs. Keeps a happy!
😅
It's tricky business!
To date, Ireland has been run by fluent Irish speakers, it the law when becoming a public servant...but the Irish speakers are amongst the smallest, more rural insular groups...on top of that, up untill the 90's, poorer, more physically will lads went out to work...while "They" all went for higher education!
And that's whose been running the island till now!
That's where all the abuse, lies and children in septic tanks comes from!
