Irish Language

Irish, or Gaeilge, is a Celtic language native to Ireland with a history dating back over a thousand years. It is one of Ireland’s official languages, alongside English, and holds cultural significance as a symbol of Irish identity and heritage. Irish is taught in schools, used in media and government, and spoken by communities in parts of Ireland, especially in the Gaeltacht regions. While English is more commonly used, Irish continues to thrive through efforts to preserve and promote it, reflecting Ireland’s rich linguistic and cultural history.
