I truly do not understand how anyone can listen to this and not want to speak this language.

@redbrian3655to answer you're question not many speak gaelic in Ireland but it is still spoken in many parts of co. donegal and co. galway and other places along the west coast and is made compulsuary in school in ireland except northern ireland. If you're ancestors were native irish (before the english plantation) they would have spoken irish before ireland was made part of britain but there are many styles of irish as even today there is no fixed standard gaelic. hope it helps ;-)

Love this and love the way she treats the music and language with such respect - almost reverence. I bet there were a few ancient spirits in that room with big smiles.:-)

Tommaso Motteran

There is one big issue with what you posted. For you language equals ethnicity which also equates to a common social and economic history. The conquest of Wales and the results of it were very different to what happened in Scotland and very different to the colonisation of Ireland. Putting them together into one historically fanciful ethno-celtic group experience is wrong and does a disservice to the real history and the real oppressions.

Abiezer Coppe

This is bizarre. Ethnic Celts in lowland Scottish clearances who settled in Ireland and displaced the Gaelic speakers there. It's difficult to know where to start on this because it is so mixed up and wrong. Look up the history of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland and then in Ireland. The movement of people was not because of "lowland clearances". As I mentioned elsewhere, leave out the Covenanters and you can have no real understanding of 17th and 18th Century Scottish history.

Abiezer Coppe

There is no such thing as Welsh or Cornish Gaelic. Brythonic Gaelic is an oxymoron. There are two major branches of the insular Celtic languages (those of the British Isles and little Britain, ie. Brittany). Scottish Gealic and Irish Gaelic are one and the Welsh,Cornish and Breton languages are in the other and are *not* Gaelic.

Abiezer Coppe

You speak as if Scotland was ever a united country liguistically and cuturally. It wasn't. The attempted eradication of Scottish Gaelic was misguided and reprehensible. What you fail to point out is that it was assiduously carried out by Scottish teachers in Scottish schools. The prejudice against Gaelic culture was widespread amongst the Scottish population. Gaelic culture was seen as backwards, poverty stricken and dieing out. They thought they were helping by "educating" the yougsters.

Abiezer Coppe

Sorry, another mix-up. The highland clearances were not part of British government policy in the late 18th Century onwards any more than they had a policy of Industrial revolution. The clan system was broken and subverted, with the clan chiefs buying into a system of lairdship where they got the land ownership and the power that came with it. They led the clearances, which were the coming of the industrial capitalist world to the Scottish highlands. Class conflict, and class oppression.

Abiezer Coppe

Sorry, but you're "winging it" again. Charlie was after the British crown (it was British by this time), that's why he got as far south as Derby but through a mixture of clever misinformation fed to them and lack of confidence because there had been no mass Jacobite rising in England they were conned into retreating back north. btw. your "history" leaves out the Covenanters movement which makes most of what you wriite next to meaningless.

Abiezer Coppe

"By this time ..." Presumably the "time" was that mentioned in the previous comment, 1690/1691. You need to look up your history rather than "wing it" with guesswork and prejudice. There was no British parliament at that "time", there was, though, a Scottish parliament in an independent Scotland with a personal unification of the crown in the monarch.
