Irish Gaelic

Irish Gaelic, or Gaeilge, is a Celtic language primarily spoken in Ireland. It is one of the oldest written languages in Europe, with a rich literary tradition. Unlike English, it has a distinct grammar and pronunciation, which can be challenging for learners. Irish is a minority language today, but it carries cultural significance, being a vital part of Irish identity. The language is taught in schools and used in various media, with efforts ongoing to promote its use. Irish is one of the official languages of the European Union and is recognized as a minority language in Northern Ireland.
