Я русская, но изучаю гэльский язык. Говорить мне не с кем, но я на нём пою. Я испытываю какие-то странные глубоко- волнительные чувства, когда произношу гэльские слова. Слова любого языка несут на себе отпечаток ДНК. Наш ученый-генетик, доктор биологических наук, создатель волновой генетики Петр Гаряев доказал, что слово обладает свойствами гена. Как поэт, я оберегаю чистоту русского языка. А гэльский язык не зря был запрещён - это попытка стереть дух и силу народа, в котором течёт древнейшая кровь, и чья глубинная история сакральна. Только проявляясь через родной язык, кровь и дух могут сиять.
Carson nach eil nas mò dhaoine anns a' Phàrlamaid? Nach eil na buill eile den Phàrlamaid a' tighinn ach nuair a tha ùidh aca san adhbhar rin a bheilear a' dèiligeadh?
An Irish person could definitely understand the vast majority of this if fluent. From someone with a lot of exposure to 'southern-gaelic' this sounds like a norwegian who learned irish as their second language, fascinating the difference in intonation and accent😁
Tha mi a’ guidhe gum biodh a’ Ghàidhlig air a cleachdadh nas motha bidh mi a’ dol gu sgoil Ghàidhlig ach tha caraidean agam ann an sgoiltean Beurla agus tha mi air mo chlisgeadh gu bheil Fraingis is Spàinntis cruaidh ach chan eil iad Gàidhlig!
I've lived in scotland my whole life and thats the first time ive heard someone speak Gaelic even thought its on every police car, every sign and every ambulance even though the word for them are very samilar to the english word for it and the police officers dont speak it.
Irish is my first language. I am amazed at how I understand much of what Kate is saying. Not everything, but most of what she is saying is familiar to me. I would not take long to get that language if I lived amongst its speakers for a while. I know that "ionsachan" is in my language "foghlaim" or "learning", but I learned this from listening to Gaelic online. Is í an Ghaeilge an teanga atá agam féin. Dochreidte an méid a thuigim agus mé ag éisteacht le Kate. Ní thuigim chuile shórt ach is féidir liom an chiall a bhaint as an méid adeir sí. Níorbh fhada ag foghlaim mé dá mbeinn i mo chónaí i measc cainteoirí na teanga sin, muis. Tuigim cúpla focal go háirid as a bheith ag éisteacht le Gaelic ar na meáin shóisialta.
I’m Australian with Scottish roots and I’ve visited Scotland once and hope to go next year. I’m Became interested in Scottish Gaelic , and learning very slowly via dualingo. I heard it is a dying language so I hope she can revive it in Scotland
I think she has to ask herself since she knows the answer why Gaelic doesn't get much juice as Cymru. Don't know if it is just me or maybe we should ask if the Londoners will agree to the "language of a rival". Besides, it serves as a punishment for Alba's children after that consecutive referenda of the decade. You really have to go out of London's yoke.
Living in England, I missed out on benefits other Europeans were allowed: Germans, Polish. even the French were granted assistance to find employment (eg Licence assistance, mobilty grants etc). I was told that as an 'English speaker' I was not considered 'Foreign Enough' for those same aids. I told her to Kiss My Arse in Gaelic, She was oblivious.
You should direct that at all min groups, given others have even stricter standards and barriers when it comes to no reform of belief or practices within places of worship
How Scottish people allowed their language disappear by colonialism, it's shameful, I'm not Scottish but at least o wish the culture and the language with faith kept. Fight for your language and national identity Scottish people.
Can you believe that Scot’s are not taught our own language in schools. Just stop and think about that. We’re taught German, French, Italian, not our own language. It’s insanity.
I live in France but I am so in love with the sound of Scottish Gaelic that I’m trying to learn some through Duolingo. I don’t really know how far one can hope to go with Duolingo because I haven’t used it before but I guess any amount of Gaelic that I manage to learn from it will be more than I knew before. I don’t know if I will ever really get to use it because apparently even in Scotland there aren’t a lot of people that speak it fluently. Either way I’m so happy to learn it. I hope the Scottish people don’t let their language die. It is a real treasure.
Agreed. I feel this way about my beloved Cymraeg. Duolingo is great for beginners, and then Glossika is good for intermediate learners, using real speakers instead of synthesized voices. Scottish, Manx and Cymraeg are free on it. The lessons get repetitive however it's nice to learn from a real human's voice, and not a robot.
As a Scottish American, I find this to be nothing short of a miracle For centuries, the British government has tried to strip everything about the Scottish culture away to to oblivion To be forever lost to the winds of time Our music Our musical instruments Our Clan Tartans Much was outlawed Hearing her fight for the survival of our ancient language is awe inspiring and heroic Ms Forbes I thank you very much for keeping it alive
I remember back when I was in high school, and was informed that Fife wasn't on the list of regions that teaches Gaelic, I almost walked out in protest.
If you care about your culture then learn your language, even if only a tiny bit everyday, even if you never become anywhere near proficient, if you claim to love your culture, please try!
