ian_mac Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 And if you know anything about history, you will know why so few people speak it. But wouldn't expect anything other than complete ignorance from the likes of jaggy bunnet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted April 1, 2015 Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 It gives a sense of identity, some sort of link to a cultural history that has been lost but deserves to be recognised. Also, since 2001 the number of Gaelic speakers under the age of 20 has increased showing that it has a future. Additionally, over 10% of speakers live in Glasgow, more than any other locality, so Glasgow is surely the best place to display this, where most Gaelic speakers and non-speakers will see it.

Fearchar Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 Bhitheadh e glè mhath `ur mic a choinneachadh .Chan e sibhse athair Ruairidh Alasdair an e? Ma se, bha mi nam bhreithimh aig co-fharpais Mòid ann am Peairt ann an 2004 san robh esan a gabhail compàirt `s bha e cho math s `s gu bheil cumhn` agam air fhathast! Bi mi ga chluinntinn gu math tric air Spòrs na Seachdain -ach dh`fhaodainn a bhith ceàrr `s dòcha nach e ur mac a th`ann idir! 'S mi gu dearbh, a Dhonnchaidh. 'S e Ruairidh Alastair mo mhac as sine, agus bithidh e a' nochdadh air Spòrs na Seachdain. Chan fhada gus am bi e a' cur crìoch air a chùrsa aig oilthigh, ach tha e a' maoidheadh cumail air gus ceum eile fhaighinn. Tha a bhràthair Cailean na oileanach cuideachd.

Fearchar Posted April 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2015 nothing to do with that, very few people use the language, so why spend so much money on plastering everywhere. 真的！我們都可以說中文啊。 Saoil a bheil leigheas ann do dh'aineolas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bha mi smaoineachadh gum b`e sibhse athair ceart gu leòr. Tha mi toilichte chluinntinn gu bheil e dèanamh cho math san oilthaigh. Saoilidh mi gur dòcha gun robh mi fhèin `s sibh fhèin ann an deasbad beag air an rèidio bho chionn bliadhna neo dha mu bhith teagasg creidimh `s na sgoiltean ach ma se sibhse a bh`ann `s math gu bheil sinn air an aona ràmh a thaobh nan Cluarain co-dhiù! Thòisich mise gan leantainn o chionn leth cheud bliadhna a chionns gur ann as an aona bhaile rium fhèin ann an Leòdhas a bha màthair Dhonaidh MhicFhionghainn. Bha h`uile duin` eile a dh`aithnichinn a`toirt taic dha chàraid Raghnall a bha na shàr-chluicheadair aig buidheann eile à Glaschu nach eil idir ann an diugh!

Blackpool Jags Posted April 2, 2015 Report Share Posted April 2, 2015 Personally, I don't speak any Gaelic, but language is an intrinsic part of any culture and we should fight like lions to preserve it wherever it comes under threat. Minority language revival is a strong feature of most progressive countries these days, and rightly so. Within GB alone, Welsh, Cornish and Manx - as well as our own branch of Celtic - have experienced transformations which have resulted in the re-introduction of these tongues to the areas in which they once prevailed. Hell mend the perpetrators of ethnic cleansing who were so culpable in the marginalisation of such a critical part of Scottish culture and heritage (alluded to tacitly, but poignantly, above). Not currently resident in our great country, but nonetheless Scottish and fiercely proud of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
