Gaeilge is the Irish word for the Irish language. I'm an Irish speaker. We call old & middle-irish "Sean-Ghaeilge". Gaeilge is just an evolved form of Sean-Ghaeilge. I didn't mean that Irish of today was the exact same as Middle-Irish.
ReplyDeleteMiddle Irish isn't Gaeilge! Gaeilge descends from Middle Irish without a doubt, but Gaeilge is no more middle Irish than English is middle English. Bear in mind that back then Irish was more a sort of pan-Goidelic language spoken in Scotland, Isle of Man and Ireland.
ReplyDeleteVery helpful to those of us who want to just hear everyday spoken Scots Gaelic. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was Irish gaelic.
ReplyDeleteIt would be interesting to know why you would think that.
ReplyDeleteI would guess unfamiliarity. There are lots of similar sounds etc. so it would be harder for a non-speaker to pick out the more obvious differences.
ReplyDelete....probably because they are similar
ReplyDeletethat's quite true, they are.
ReplyDeleteom it sounds sooo like irish
ReplyDeleteI agree with Br2veHe2rt. The natural flow of the language is important to hear. Every bit of it helps and this is a great video ! Thanks !
ReplyDeleteWell, Gaidhlig technically comes from middle Irish, which is quite a bit different from Gaeilge - but that really is splitting hairs and you're more or less correct :)
ReplyDeleteYes of course :) Middle Irish is Gaeilge. Sean-Ghaeilge to be precise. But yes, we're really splitting hairs ;)
