Gaelige

Gaeilge, also known as Irish, is a Celtic language native to Ireland. It is one of the country's official languages, alongside English, and has a rich history dating back over a thousand years. Traditional and cultural expressions, literature, and place names often feature Irish. While many Irish people speak English, Gaeilge is taught in schools, used in media, and actively promoted to preserve Ireland's linguistic heritage. It holds cultural significance and symbolizes national identity, with efforts continuing to keep the language alive and visible in modern Irish society.
