- bit.ly/brehona... Douglas Hyde delivered this speech before the Irish Literary Society in Dublin, 1892. Hyde would later go on to become the First President of the Irish Free State. Throughout his life and career, Hyde was driven to revive Irish ways, customs, and to recognise and honour Ireland's distinct social, historical, linguistic, and cultural characteristics.
Douglas Hyde delivered his celebrated lecture, ‘The Necessity of De-Anglicising the Irish Nation’, to the National Literary Society in Dublin in November 1892. In this he forcefully articulated his intellectual case on behalf of Irish. This lecture is widely acknowledged as a pivotal moment in the history of the language, one which helped to inspire the founding of the Gaelic League the following year. Drawing on Hyde’s private diaries and public writings, this paper will analyse the processes whereby he came to acquire the Irish language and embrace its values through interaction with its speakers, and how his personal experiences led him to champion the country’s national culture.

Awesome speech. Duolingo Irish course is a great way to brush up and deepen our knowledge of our language.
Not anymore. They got rid of the good audio and replaced it with Microsoft's terribly pronounced robotic learners Irish.

Thank you for taking the time to produce this important historical record 🇮🇪
I am fascinated by Hyde. To me he seems to be a genuinely peaceful man, a poet, and a scholar. Him being the first president of Ireland seems almost like an echo of Amhairghin being the first of Clann Mhíle to set foot on Ireland after the Tuatha Dé told them to go out over nine waves. It wasn't a warrior, or a king to first set foot on Ireland in this contest, but a poet and a Druid.
I really admire the men of the Easter Rising, what they did changed everything. I also have a great deal of empathy with Hyde's perspective and desire that The Gaelic League should remain a-political. It's a complicated line to walk. Here in the US I see how the current political discourse literally rots peoples brains and leads otherwise rational people turning into froth at the mouth rage machines.
When Hyde said, "‘Never, never, as long as the Gaelic League holds together, and I find myself on a platform like this, shall the pure light of the Irish language be trailed in the dust or in the mind of any one faction or party or of politics at all." This is how I feel about Druidry as well. I really admire Hyde's desire for peace, plurality, and his utter lack of political guile.
Great comment. Thank you.
Informative.
Thanks

In 1938 at an age when most men are long retired.Douglas Hyde (1860-1949) was elected first president of modern Ireland. The unanimous choice of delegates from all political factions, he was no stranger to public life. So, what was underneath his exterior and the ghost writer who had to think of something to diver his epitome. He, is supposedly Irish, maybe even BlackIrish to be continued...

As an Irish-American, I found this speech hitting the mail on the head. I see many Irish-Americans with tattoos of shamrocks, Celtic crosses, Celtic knot work, etc. They know of St. Patrick’s day but nothing else of Irish culture. They’re proud of their Irish heritage but know nothing of Irish history. Massachusetts has the largest Irish population in the US. But I see those of Irish descent hating themselves because of the actions of the British empire. The Irish government has thrown the rights of its people to foreigners. I hear the modern Irish people idolize American culture which is of English descent. In short the Irish, whether in the motherland or homeland have become Irish in name only.
So what is English derived in American culture that wasn't first Gaelic or that didnt arrive from mainland Europe at the same time in Eire as it arrived in the larger Gaelic island, Alba ?
From the dawn of Christianity or at the very least the 1000 + years of shared history & culture since the Vikings, centuries before "England" was ever even thought of as being a state within the south east of the Gaelic Island Alba, what exactly is derived from them in America that wasn't already present within Irish/Gaelic culture, long before the English identity existed ?
When exactly is your timeline starting, 1945, 2016 ?
You are sadly mistaken, & I say that sincerely, if you believe anything about America is idolised in Ireland, sadly they (Young'uns) look culturally to London first & the few who can manage to look beyond it look to Australia as a place to visit or emigrate to, before they think of America.
Personally, I look at Irish America with pride & on occasion imagine the best of them as being what Ireland & the Irish within it would/could be if they ever managed to shrug off the yoke of English militarism.
What is good about America isn't unique to Irish America, the traditional American values are admired universally but in this day & age as in the day & age of the American Revolution, there is nothing unique in those values that Irishmen within Ireland weren't already fighting for & doing so while facing much more austere odds than any American can even imagine let alone claim to have faced.
Ive no idea where you are claiming the motherland is but Im assuming the homeland you are mentioning is Ireland itself, so therefore being of it & living in it I can tell you that what is bad, weak or ugly within the Irish people home or abroad is uniquely Irish flavored & as such we are as Irish now as we ever were, hence the internationally misunderstood soccer chant "You'll never beat the Irish", for we are what we are & that is all we ever have been, something & someone that could be a bit better.
Well said J Cummins, I live in Ireland and it's true. Linguistically and even culturally, the Irish are as anglophone as the Americans and the British and the Australians and so on. In the past British culture was idolised, now that London is no longer the centre of globalisation in the world, American culture is idolised and seen as the norm from which all other cultures deviate.

For anyone interested in the Irish language I would love to suggest one of my favorite channels learn Irish with Dane.
Share the link here so people can find it easily. I'll even add it to the description of the vid.
Came across this, nothing changed, he said all the right things but not sure if he really ment it.
An bhfuil Gaeilge agat? Táim ag foghlaim agus is teanga deas é! Agus is an teanga na mo aithreacha.
Sea, is féidir liom Gaeilge a labhairt.
'is teanga deas í' (Irish language is feminine)
Is í an Ghaeilge teanga mo shinsir
Is í teanga mo shinsir í
(aithreacha is 'fathers' as in actual parents right now, it cannot be used in the English sense of 'ancestors' as in, 'It was the land of our fathers'. Must be careful with the direct translations folk!)
Anglicising€🐟🔍🇮🇪🇮🇹🇲🇨
Brilliant. Heartachingly sad but brilliant. The Irish language we know today is probably nothing like the original language, I fully believe it was purposely changed to fit latin and romanism. Or to hide who we truly are which is possible the real Hebrew people of the bible.
We don't need foreign religion any more than foreign language. We especially don't need the imposition of the moronically-conceived tribal god Jehovah. A petty, racist genocidal tyrant. If you serve him, you are a traitor not just to the Irish but to the human race.
guiness€🐟🔍🇮🇹🕋🇸🇦🇮🇩
Sounds a bit genocidy but okay
Impossible, method wud hv to be as brutal as anglicisation
Not impossible and should be done to preserve our culture.
@@ultrafree9597 gaelic culture is gone and the language is all thats left , not that im happy about that , but the irish arent keen
It shouldn't come through policy or force. IF Irish people could be inspired in the ways that Hyde was hoping it wouldn't require it. It's like a massive disconnect between psyche and language that could be reconnected if only the right motivation could be found. It has to be said, Gaelige has been on the rise in recent years as Gaelscoils have become very popular.
@@BrehonAcademy my own kids go to gaelscoil but never speak irish , thats fairly typical , but lets hope you're right
@@brianmacc1934 That's great. You have all you need to get started speaking a day of Irish a week at home.
