Description:
Using information from named authoratative sources, this section of my website explains the decline of the Irish language since the establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, and proposes a scheme to reverse it. It also contains background information about the current state of the language & people's attitudes to it. The Irish word for the language is Gaeilge, so it is sometimes referred to as Gaelic or Irish Gaelic. The site may be of interest to supporters of other Celtic languages or Lesser-spoken languages (minority languages).
