The Irish Language | Understanding Celtic Spirituality 🇮🇪 (Filmed in Ireland) 

1 million is not the figure it's more like 5 millon

These are only my opinions. American Catholic. My father had strong Irish pride. We don't teach enough about history. World leader are doing the same things today. Just slowly. The Irish have been through a lot. Watching the women explain her experience learning Irish. Is it not okay to say the English wanted to get rid of Irish language. Children were spanked for speaking it

America killed 1/4 of the Cherokee in the 1840s, it was a more brutal time. The British government didn't spend money on anything except the Royal Navy. It was an oligarchy where very few had the vote, the rich did not want to spend money least of all on welfare which was why they brought in the workhouses in Britain. The North and East of Ireland did not rely on the potato crop, these were cereal growing areas and Dublin was the second city of empire deeply interconnected with trade. These were the areas which were still producing plenty of food, and indeed exporting it. There was also private charity, e.g. Queen Victoria gave £2000, worth almost £200,000 now, & lent her name to a charity to help in its fundraising. Nobody did as much as Lionel Rothschild of the banking family. Immediately news of the famine became apparent he set up a charity, the British Relief Association, that raised over £500,000, equivalent to over 50 million pounds today. At times they were feeding 200,000 children daily. The British government for its part fed 3 million daily with soup kitchens, for a while anyway.

@@clivejungle6999 for all your writing you know sweet all , the English government passed the the poor law act made the landlords pay a tax on every tenant suprise suprise when the landlords kicked the tenants out with the support of the English army ,what Hitler done with guns and gas the English done with disease and cold and law the population went from 10 Millon to 4 Millon in 5 years ,if you want to sound smart next time have a read of Fogarty's book

@@clivejungle6999the British stole the land. Then they decided to charge rent to the people they stole it from. The 'famine' was just a deliberate genocide. The 'relief' was late, inadequate, only in response to international pressure (the Sultan of Turkey showed more compassion and support than the English) and stopped too early. The best thing British people can do is to listen, and apologize. Not try to justify it or pretend it didn't happen

Oh seriously , perpetual victims. Grow up

@@ulsterscot WOW!!

Stop living in the past the english haven't done anything in recent times, but being a child of the troubles in recent times I could tell you a few horror stories of my childhood and it had nothing to do with the English, for people that say they love Ireland and the north, it was hard to tell that when the heart and soul was bombed out of it and people including children where killed and what for? But we'll not talk about that, that doesn't matter!

Great stuff Annette, really enjoyed the video.

Tá fáilte romhat! Is aobhinn liom an teanga seo.

Thank you 🙏 I hope you are right! I was taking a gamble on this series. It was a lot to take on by myself. Here's hoping they pay off in the long run!

@@jamesmulroy8334 hello from Ireland. It would translate more as 'God be with you '

Muricans should really sit down. Hearing muricans try to talk about anything makes me roll my eyes and cringe myself inside out.

Never call it the potato famine people didn't because the potatoes failed there was plent of food in the country

​@@Joseph13163everyone calls it the potato famine. And I'm Irish.

He probably had very black hair. You get that here in Ireland still.

​​@@TheCarlocaroline only Americans call it that . An Irish person would never .You're clearly American. American spelling and all.

Yeah, I noticed that too... It's a shame. I'm a beginning Irish student, and the more I try to learn, the more I realise that the majority of online resources out there for learning are made by non-native speakers who haven't a clue how to pronounce the language properly (an obvious example being the ignoring of slender R). It's really frustrating. :(

@@rambleswolf I personally moved over to Scottish Gaelic to help with pronunciation, as the sounds are usually taught much more clearly and there are less non native resources. I'm now slowly moving back to Irish, and the first thing people mention is always how much my pronunciation sounds like "old people" or "country people". Grammar and vocab still have a long way to go though haha

@@tomasbyrom3954 Hey, I mean, "old country person" = native speaker, so I'd take it as a compliment :P

The pronunciation is different depending on the dialect....so it can be pronounced both those ways. There are so many layers to Irish, she didnt want to overwhelm

@@brid5415 As the words she mentioned came out of classical Irish, not the modern dialects, I thought there was a consensus on pronunciation. Can you explain what dialect she was using?

You are kidding ..they occupied invaded..😅😅outrageous grasp of history

That's not correct at all. I dunno where you got that from... The Ulster Scots weren't displaced by the "British", they were literally just regular Lowland Scottish folk (Scots is a Germanic language, a sister to English; not to be confused with Scottish Gaelic). They weren't gifted any land - they stole it. ALL of the British nations colonised Ireland: the English, the Scottish and (to a lesser extent) the Welsh. None of them were fleeing their homeland (unless they were Catholics). That doesn't make being a modern British or Ulster Scots person bad or shameful. Just please don't spread fake history.

@@rambleswolf "Graciously gifted a large area of land". Nope. STOLEN + Centuries of oppression + GENOCIDE.

oh yes the plantations of ulster, indeed a thoroughly “gracious” affair!

Thank you for helping us Annette!

It is well known and documented that the Romans were observing the various celtic peoples as nature worshippers. The Celts didnt build structures like new grange, Stonehenge, or Kilmartin Scotland. They used natural spaces (water ways and groves) to connect to the otherworld. While they looked at places like new grange in reverence it was not because they built it, they saw it as divinely built. Nature was not their only outlet but it definitely not a "modernist" look at celtic paganism.

Haha trust me post filming Jacob learned this when I started editing 😂

Time to return home 🍀

@@TheWisdomOfOdin Thanks 😊

Haha I definitely felt like him a couple times while filming this series

I will look into it 👍

My ancient family are from the Ulsters, Erwin of Drum. Skal

​​@@TheWisdomOfOdin I am from NZ but as part of my genealogy research found that my people were mostly from the indigenous etho-religeous group known as the Gaelic people that is the Irish Catholic. Some of my ancestors were rebels are married the Scots settlers in Northern Ireland. Ireland really suffered under colonisation and so many of our Irish Catholic ancestors had to migrate (mine to NZ). I'm so proud that the Irish language survived. I'm also glad that so much paganism survived, often hidden in Catholism ❤❤❤

I cant tell if this is ignorance, or trolling 😂

@@twophotons I agree 👍

It belongs to the Q branch of the Celtic language family. So, it is a Celtic language. Just like mine which is Welsh.

@@leejames3148 Our language and text is Geadhlic. There no mention of Celtic in our Constitution of 1937.

@@seanirasach2512 I don’t doubt that is the case. However, linguistically speaking, Irish is a Celtic language of the Goidelic branch of insular Celtic languages.

@@leejames3148 It's not a true Celtic language. It's an Insular Bell Beaker language.

@@surfer-lc3nz another plausible theory 👏🏻

Níl mo chanúint (Uladh) marbh ar chor ar bith! 💪💚🇮🇪☘🍻

It didn’t ‘originate’ from the counties. It was pushed out to the rest of Ireland by the English.

The English that everything is blamed on in Ireland, lived in the English Pale capital Dublin and had their strings pulled by London. Dublin really needs to take its share of the blame for once.

There's no fear of that. Sure, didn't that half Spanish fellow, DeValera, come over from America and sort that out. And didn't that other fellow, Saint Patrick, arrive in a small boat with a load of Irish people traffickers before him.

Ha ha ha! Ha lol ha! 😆

Good luck with your immigrant problem then!!

@@user-nq5zx1gr8i I'm not in Ireland

@@SeanThomasCross Then who exactly do you consider outsiders? My family have lived in the North for generations I don't consider myself an outsider I consider it as my home!

@@user-nq5zx1gr8i Ideally only people of the Irish ethnicity should be in Ireland. Most races have their own indigenous lands to call theirs except whites. But, most importantly is the recent invasion of outsiders who need to leave. In your case, being so established and entrenched on the island its different. If only people like you were there the true Irish would remain the majority. But once the recent mass migration of outsiders begin reproducing the native Irish will become minorities in their native land, disenfranchising them and driving their rare genetic traits to extinction. That is not okay and it is happening to all white nations by design right now.

@@user-nq5zx1gr8i Well I gave a full explanation, but jootube decided it wasn't allowed to be read.

A few million people would disagree 😆
