[ríomhaire]

Gaelic is not Irish, call it Gaelic and I will hunt you down and feed you to the bullsquids!

due to the peculiar politics of language and national identity, some Irish speakers are offended by the use of the word Gaelic by itself to refer to Irish

Damn straight.

huh?

What, you saying you odn't think people should call the irish language gaelic?

cuz I don't...:hmph:

 

[Ikerous]

Where exactly do these "Irish" people come from...?

 

[ailevation]

From Europe, in Ireland! Or New York.

 

[StardogChampion]

I've never seen anyone talk about Irish being Gaelic. We get loads of crap Gaelic TV shows on Scottish TV, even though hardly anyone here understands the damn language, including me.

I used to hate that crap when i lived up in Scotland, it is the most alien language on the face of the planet and doesn't resemble any other languages at all, apart from probably Welsh.

"oh no, let's hold onto part of our heritage by talking an alien language that no body else knows".

Scots Gaelic and Irish are quite similar.

I like them. Although I'm English and my Scottish flatmates don't seem to enjoy them as much as me.

But yeah. Irish is a type of Gaelic. So's Welsh but the similarities between Irish and Scottish Gaelic are more apparent.
