I think even if English is spoken worlwide, and it is a staple language .. any local language should be taught and carried on from one generation to the next to keep it alive. It gives you a form of identity from other nationals. We were a colony ever since creation until 1979, the last 200yrs under the rule of the British Empire, but the language never died.
Over here in Malta, we are thought Maltese for 11 years, aswell as English for the same amount of time. Maltese is only spoken on our tiny island (somehwere around 420,000ppl) but is very widely spoken and the majority are very proud with the language. We still speak English fluently (majority, over 80%), but it remains a foreign language at the back of our minds.
@ryandavis .. you shouldn't express yourself so outrageously against your language, even if you don't like it as for others it is a very sensitive issue especially since it is increasingly outspoken over time. Choose your words carefully mate

iv been 2 malta playing football for my country played in malta's national stadium and it is a lovely place, and while i was there i heard the language, the irish language is not still spoken hear @ all, if u had come on saying that u also think the maltese language is horrible its ur opion there for it would not have bothered me in the slightest and would have not felt the need to say anything on the matter, i also would not have told you to thread lightly or watch what u say because its only an opinion and i no nothing on malta religion/heritage/ect all i no of malta is it is a lovely place with no beaches :haha:,
keith as i said i dont no much on malta so there for i dont noif learning the language was a big thing over there bt in ireland i have never ever met any 1 who went to school and enjoyed irish, evry1 dun anything they could not 2 learn it, in my school we would set chairs on fire so we would get bannec from that teachers class, these ppl are the first people who i have ever tlked to that are that pationate about the language.
but you see this has nothing to do with the language these dudes think im slatting irelands culture ect because i said, i thank the british for stampin on it, there going on about 900 yrs this and that,

yes its definitely a different situation, sounds like it..
when were you in Malta man?? we have beaches..plenty of them!! lol .. I think its the ONLY reason we get more than a million tourists a year, i.e. more than twice as much the population .. and most come from the British Isles and Ireland I love you Irish lads, you are rarely troublesome and drink plenty, much like us

I learned Irish at school for approx 12 years too. I was quite good at it.
The only reason why I don't know much of it now is cause I haven't used it since 2003. Saying that, I would feel it would come back to me very quickly if I began learning it again.
I am fairly certain Irish language is still taught in every schools across the country.
Much areas of the West of Ireland use Irish as their first language.
We have a TV station "TG4" that broadcasts in Irish Language and also everyday on RTE we have News (Nuaght) everyday (gach la)
I honestly don't believe that the Irish language will no longer exist anytime soon.

Saying what i have quoted above tells me you have no passion for your nationality at all,that doesnt mean that others dont so you cant act surprised when people react the way they do esp here in ireland north or south we have had years and years of fighting and death the irish language is part of our history. if you have an opinion then word it carefully ,your 22 years old and judging by "setting chairs on fire" when you were in school mybe you just dont understand and still have a lot to learn thats fair enough we were all there at some point this doesnt give you the excuse to be blatantly ignorant towards people and their language.
plenty of places use irish as their first language mybe you not speaking it doesnt help ,i did a tour of ireland last year and i spoke to plenty of locals that spoke it.

Jesus christ you can talk some shite.
You think becasue you can kick a ball around a field you have an understanding of the national language,and to call it disgusting is ridiculas,how can a language be ridiculas,or how can you comment on it when you havent mastered it,i mean you seem to have a problem with the english language that your proffessing let alone the irish language. You cannot comment on something you dont have a fucking clue about:haha::haha:
The only language you seem to be able to speak is what the internet has taught a select few users,that language would be cunt.
