Wow the Scottish theme music of BBC is beautiful
Scottish Gaelic*
@@eimantas314-rblx He's not talking about the language, you knob!
best sounding gaelic pronunciation I've heard. it doesn't sound like an American trying to read a foreign language for once.
Hehe. No. Thats how irish language usually sounds ;)
***** This is Scottish Gaelic. Not Irish. Irish usually sounds that way coming from young speakers, if you watch the older folks on shows like Comhra speak it sounds more native Gaelic.
As a native Irish speaker your very misinformed about the pronounciation of the Irish language we speak it like the woman in this video
But she's not speaking Irish?
Love listening to Gàidhlig, that lovely powerful language...
@Brengor69 That's not what I said in the slightest. I think BBC Alba is one of the reasons why the BBC is great. I just think that the people who fund it (whether English, Scottish, Welsh or Ulstermen) should be the only ones with access to it, after all, we're paying for it with the TV license.
Always loved this BBC Alba opening.
I want to learn the Gaelic-Scotland language perferly.
hmm, i'm quite in love with this verison of the bbc news theme. i mean mixing it with celtic-sorta music, cool!
LOL ,
this is the first time i hear this scottish language , pretty intersting!
that news anchor, she's so beautiful as well
@Brengor69 I was able to watch BBC ALBA in Eastern Europe from 2006, but in October 2011 they made some changes on Astra transponders and I lost receive of BBC Alba, BBC Parliament and BBC News channels.
Doesn't BBC require a TV licence for you to watch it?
@@caranhaes6496 It was "temporary". 2006-2011 all in Europe was able to watch some TV channels (BBC News, BBC Parliament, BBC Alba and 8 interactive BBC channels) just with 80cm standard satellite dish for free. Now it's not possible. Currently here in Central Europe it's possible only with large 180cm dishes) I think.
@@djriki0 Fun while it lasted, ig.
@@djriki0BBC Alba didn’t exist in 2006
1:31 Those are the highest pitched pips I have ever heard.
I prefer BBC Alba News' music than the national/regional versions.
The Gaelic and Norse languages interacted significantly with each other over many centuries, leaving a legacy which can still be seen in Gaelic (Old Norse borrowed Gaelic words like àirigh, coinneamh and gadan but its descendant, Norn, has long since become extinct).
Whah!!! Sounds very close to a Scandinavian languages with English sentence construction...
@Mat2778 Structurally it is actually quite similar to English. The main difficulty (in my opinion) is that Gaelic words when spoken sound nothing like how they are spelt (to an English speaker). Largely because of the fact it has 17 - 18 letters (h is not technically a letter in Gaelic) in it's alphabet whereas English has 26. Gaelic also likes to complicate things by having no actual way of saying 'yes' or 'no'
@xopozify I didn't make anything up, thank you very much. The UK Foreign Office currently provides part of the funding for BBC World Service. Soon that'll be replaced with money from the license fee.
There are 2 parts of the BBC; The BBC, and BBC Worldwide. The BBC provides all services in the UK. BBC Worldwide provides everything outside the UK. BBC Worldwide is almost entirely funded by advertisements and merchandising, and the only BBC Worldwide service funded by tax is World Service.
Alba is not the Scottish region, this is name of Scotland in Scottish Gaelic.
Is as Éirinn mé, agus tuigim cúpla focail anseo agus ansin. Nílim líofa i gceachtar teanga áfach ar an drochuair. Coimeádaigí do theanga ar bheo, a mhuintir na hAlban. Go n-éirí libh.
This and welsh are two languages that I would love to learn.
write Angela Nic´Illeathain and read Angela Maclean if you like
Modern Gaelic words like uinneag (window), sgeir (sea-rock) and sgarbh (cormorant) are of Norse origin, as is much of the vocabulary connected to the maritime environment. Norse may also have influenced Gaelic speech patterns, such as the accent on the Isle of Lewis and the pre-aspiration found in most dialects of Scottish Gaelic but not in Irish. Pre-aspiration is the insertion of a ‘h’ or ‘ch’ sound in front of certain consonants.
are you sure uinneag doesn't come from fuinneog? (Irish)
I completely agree. Ever since I started learning Gaelic over a year ago, I've seen these titles and thought that BBC Cymru's titles are shit! Mae mwy o bobl yn gwylio'r newyddion yn Gymraeg 'fyd, felly, sai'n gwybod pam maen nhw 'di rhoi mwy o arian i mewn i'r un Gaeleg eniwê - er bod hi'n hardd iawn.
And which type of Welsh music? A harp, maybe? :-)
Dutch? Dude this is Gaelic.
Dutch like English is a Germanic language. Yes the Vikings did have an impact on the language but a pinpoint.
I love there opeing
It sounds like an Eastern European language.
more like a northern.
@Brengor69 Astra transponders.. It's satellite receive (DVB-S). Satellite viewers in Belgium should watch all BBC channels without any problems, all of them are free to air.
Damn
is there any family connection between both bbc an là presenters? their names are Angela Maclean (Angela Nic´Illeathain) and Iain Maclean (Iain Mac Illeathain)
@Brengor69 Because it's funded by the British TV license, which is a national tax on British TV owners. Most BBC services aren't avaliable outside the UK because of this, it's not just ALBA.
As long as we see ourselves as separate from everything and everyone around us, we lend ourselves to being completely manipulated.
1:25 best
Sounds like a mix of Irish Gaelic and German
No. Old Norse.
some sounds sound Russia
0:51 Headlines
1:25 Intro
How to read her name : Angela Nic’Illeathain 🤔🤔
i will try get more videocaptures from bbc alba soon
sounds Dutch
Irish (not Irish Gaelic) is pretty similar.
@darwincity
exactly! i thought it was Norwegian :)
I wonder if we'll ever see the S4/C Newyddion get similar titles (but with Welsh music, obviously).
@djriki0 maclean is a very common surname in gaelic speaking areas, or just scotland as a whole...
she's speaking dutch
Doesn't really sound like that to me, but for someone that doesn't know Dutch maybe it may sound similar in a strange and distant way.
BBC alba is news from Scotland
what music is that?
Tha e glè àilinn.
Intro at 1:25
@scotlandftw 1. We already had a language before it was outlawed and physically beaten out of us at schools. Gàidhlig.
2. Ask a fluent speaker. There's 60,000 to choose from. Even better, ask a native speaker. Don't expect a nice answer, though.
3. That's not another point, that's a conclusion you've drawn from your other crap points.
Why the presenters' names are different?
Souwrit Ray theyre not , it's a translation . Our names can be written in either English or Scots Gaelic . " hello, my name is Martin" / hallo, is mis Martainn" Martainn is pronounced " Marcheen"
@darwincity Sorry, small typo, "language".
1:30
@Brengor69 well actually I'm from Northern Ireland, which is part of the U.K and I can't watch it :(
- oh...thx
Nach i tha teth an-diugh?
@scotlandftw Since when has any natural language had a "point" other than communication?
@GaeilgeSpraoi teangachaí marbha atá iontu beirt. cha bheadh siad beo gan tacaíocht a fhaigheann siad bho mhaoiniú stáit. thiocfadh an rud ceanann ceanra a ráit fá dtaobh den Bhreatnais fosta.
I thought the same, but wiki (at least the german one) says it is related to irish gaelic.
But maybe there is a connection between gaelic and scandinavian languages. Dont know...
from the 8th to the 15th century Orkney and Shetland and a few other parts of Scotland were Scandinavian owned. Scottish Gaelic as a language is descended from the old Irish language so there are many similarities there however bits of the old Scandinavian language Norn have found their way into the Gaelic language. hence some similarities there.
Sounded like a bbc travel theme
What's so impressive about understanding one's native language?
Do you not understand Dutch?
the eastern europe its home to many diferent languages, it is imposible for a language to sound easter european.
@ashwinbhat123 Scotland has no Queen.
So this is not the land of Queen Elizabeth :P.
I wonder how many people actually watch this since this language is practically dead except for the odd few individuals living in the highlands.
It's certainly not dead, there are 87,000 speakers in Scotland!
Wolk un Good to know because i am Scottish but i live in the lowlands and i can only speak English :D
t800 forever Largest community of Scottish Gaelic speakers outside highlands is in Glasgow (Glaschu) which makes up over 10% of all of Scotland's Gaelic speakers!
The Terminator Hi there are a few in the Highlands which is around 80.000
There are also Gaelic speaking in Canada Nova Scotia and I seen that it's also spoken in New Zealand. Just info for you!!!
***** it shrunk so much? that's kinda sad...
I'd say it's at least two fifths of the size of britain
@newsmaniaingaidai
Pretty much all of them have English as a second language. They'd have to be living in a cave as hermits otherwise.
I thought it sounded like a language found in Eastern Europe as well.
Omf!! wtf is this language?
@GaeilgeSpraoi chan ag iarraidh í a bheith marbh atá mé. chan fhuil mé ach ag tabhairt airde don fhírinne, bíodh sí searbh nó ná bíodh - as maitheas nó as olc, go mbeadh sí marbh gan na deontais is achan ní a fhaigheann sí ó na rialtais. char úirt mé gur theastaigh uaim gearradh siar ar na deontais seo ar chor ar bith ach ab é gur amhlaidh atá.
@ScotsmanRS 1. We already have a language, English.
2. What's the point in learning a language that no one can speak
3. It's a waste of money.
@Mat2778 you are talking about speaking languages when you can't even spell properly in the English language. I speak gaelic, english, spanish, french and dutch (stupid and meaningless though it is). So come on there's no excuse for you. English is so fucking easy to learn and you can't even spell. Wat is verkeerd met u?
pointless language....
