Why didn't the Irish government try to revive the Irish language after Ireland got independence?

Why would Jews want to speak Irish?

This is how you save the Irish language as well as the Indigenous languages of the Americas.

>>511123827
Because Gaelic is Hebrew.

>Indigenous languages of the Americas.
You speak Comanche? What's your point

>>511123792 (OP)
They did

It wasn't a priority at the time.
English was and is still the lingua franca of the world and has allowed massive emigration and foreign investment in Ireland.

(In b4 STFU Frog cunt - I'm Irish)

True. Ironically the only people invested in keeping gaelic alive are Muslims. Rome was the original assassin of the culture and language. And much like first nations, we had to deal with pedos in dresses that wanted to be called father. It's left a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

You are mentally ill and shitskin.

Gaeltacht got a lot of government funding for schools, signage and tourism promotion back in the 1960-1980s. My father would send me back to Mognahan every summer to help on the family farm and to spend time with cousins. I learned more shelta from the travellers around there than actual proper Irish. We'd go to Meath occasionally and almost everyone there used Irish as a first language. Eventually over time I learned the brogue but what's the point in modern times? The amount of migrants Ireland is welcoming paired with the amount of people leaving for America, Australia and Canada means the Irish will be genetically replaced by 2100. Minorities in their own country. I hold dual-nationality and wouldn't consider living there full-time given the state of the migrants crisis.

Because it's a useless language confined only to rural parts of Ireland. Better to speak English in modern times to catch up to the world.

>>511123792 (OP)
The truth is that most Irish people don't care.

t. culturally barren mutt

>>511124066
compare: the Czechs, who likewise could have just spoken German, because le relevance. But instead they switched all institutions to Czech and saved their language.

>>511124562
There is absolutely no chance of Ireland losing English as a first language. We could have Irish as well as that if there was an effort to teach it in primary school.

>>511123792 (OP)
Forget Irish. We need a Latin revival. English should stay in England.

>>511124197
I speak gaelic do you? (And French, Spanish, English and a little arabic plus picking up inuit for fun) And I'm over the pond. In fact I'd reason that we've got more gaelic spoken in Canada than all of Ireland. Last I visit family no one spake Erie. My cousin might know some swear but that's about it.

>>511123792 (OP)
They did?

>>511123792 (OP)
They're too busy handing it over to shitskins

I'm becoming the God of this generation

It's spelled GARLIC.

pretty much criminal that your government doesn't even give a fuck about preserving your native language. losing your language would be like forgetting your history, having to translate everything to a culture not originally your own. English is necessary to learn but Gaelic should come first for the Irish.

My mom still know some but never thought us any. Grandfather knows quite a bit though isn't fluent being born and raised in the US, his oldest brother, my great uncle, was born in Ireland and still speaks it fluently as did his wife. Pretty sure my cousins once removed on that side all know the language well enough to talk to their dad in it, and one of my uncles kids learned it too. Late great aunt and my grandfathers oldest sister didn't really ever speak it when she was still alive though. Pretty much everyone in the male lines who've retained the irish name know a bit of the language while everyone without an irish name wasn't taught.
