ERORR404: Irish is a language of Ireland people. English wasn't their original language but when England invaded them just like they invaded Africa, they imposed English languaage on them. They and Wales are good people. There's self discovery everywhere in the world now, and enslaved people want their native languages back. Even African-Americans are now learning African language in America. Unfortunately, in Africa, we have been brainwashed beyond repair to the point we now hate ourselves and our native language. You'll think Chinua Achebe himself would've translated such a great book into Igbo language, if for nothing else but as an academic excercise but he didn't. May be a white man can do it for us in future. How can an African write a book that has been translated to over 100 languages but EXCEPT HIS OWN LANGUAGE?What's going on in our brains??!!! 4 Likes |

It is nice to read this. My only concern is the market size. I doubt there are up to a million Irish speakers in the world! Irish people now speak English. |

Who won't read that book again and again? I have always wondered why he chose to be an academic than to write loads of books. For over a decade, he wrote not a single book claiming the burden of academia. I also suspect the aftermath of the civil war. If he had been prolific, he would certainly have won the Nobel prize. Lack of new material robbed him of the prize which his death made made permanent. 1 Like |

Irish (Gaeilge) is a Goidelic language of the Celtic languages family, itself a branch of the Indo-European language family. Irish originated in Ireland and was historically spoken by Irish people throughout Ireland. Irish is spoken as a first language in substantial areas of counties Galway, Kerry, Cork and Donegal, smaller areas of Waterford, Mayo and Meath, and a few other locations, and as a second language by a larger group of habitual but non-traditional speakers across the country. 8 Fun Facts About the Irish Language http://mentalfloss.com/article/49480/8-fun-facts-about-irish-language |
