- Her Excellency Mary McAleese addressing everyone on the Great Island of Ireland in her St. Patrick's Day Message, 2008.
A Soilse, Uachtarán na hÉireann Máire Mhic Giolla Íosa ag caint le achan duine ar oileán na hÉireann, 2008.
Speech:
Beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig ar chlann mhór dhomhanda na nGael, sa bhaile agus ar fud na cruinne, ar ár lá náisiúnta ceiliúrtha féin.
Ta ríméad orm beannachtaí na Féile Pádraig a chur ar gach duine atá páirteach i gceiliúradh na bliana seo, is cuma cé acu in Éirinn nó thar sáile atá siad. Tugann ceiliúradh na Féile Pádraig deis ar leith dúinn ár naisc oidhreachta agus ceana a threisiú le clann dhomhanda na nGael, agus lenár gcairde ar fud an domhain. Is léiriú iontach é ar an lúcháir sin na beatha atá ag na Gaeil, agus is mó an chúis atá againn ceiliúradh a dhéanamh i mbliana ná mar a bhí le tamall de bhlianta. Cuireadh fáilte roimh an déabhlóidiú rialtais arís i dTuaisceart Éireann, agus tá tús á chur anois le ré nua ar oileán na hÉireann, a thugann geallúintí síochána, ratha agus comhpháirtíochta dúinn uile. Ba mhaith liom buíochas a ghabháil libh go léir as an tacaíocht agus an spreagadh a thug sibh dúinn le linn ár dturais fhada dheacair go dtí an pointe comhaontaithe seo. Níl aon cheist faoi ach go bhfuil an barr feabhais le teacht fós!
Ta súil agam go mbainfidh na hinimircigh nua iomadúla chun na hÉireann, a bheidh ag ceiliúradh inár gcomhluadar i mbliana, inspioráid ón imirceach sin ba mhó tionchar ar fad, Naomh Pádraig féin. Ta a ainm agus ainm na hÉireann ceangailte go dlúth lena chéile sa lá atá inniu ann, agus éiríonn a chlann níos flúirsí agus níos ilchineálaí gach bliain. Guím gach rath oraibh go léir ar an ócáid ceiliúrtha seo na Féile Pádraig 2008. Bainigí taitneamh as, cibé áit a bhfuil sibh! Go gcuire Naomh Pádraig a bheannacht de shíor ar oileán na hÉireann agus ar a mhuintir.
Speech translated:
Blessings upon every person who is a member of the worldwide Irish family, whether at home or abroad, on our national holiday.
I am delighted to send St Patrick's Day greetings to all those taking part in this year's celebrations, whether at home in Ireland or around the world. St Patrick's festival is our special opportunity to deepen and celebrate the bonds of heritage and affection which link the global, Irish family and its friends worldwide. It is a great showcase of the Irish love of life and this year, more than any in our recent past, is one to savour with special joy. The welcome return of devolved government to Northern Ireland has brought to the island of Ireland a promising era of peace, prosperity and partnership. Thank you for all the support and encouragement you invested in our long, hard journey to this time of concord. There can be little doubt that the best is yet to come!
I hope that the many new immigrants to Ireland who will be joining the celebrations this year will take inspiration from the most influential immigrant of them all, St Patrick himself. Today his name and that of Ireland are synonymous and each year as we gather in his honour, we can see the widening global reach and richly diverse character of his extensive family. To each one of you I wish a wonderful St Patrick's Day 2008. Enjoy it wherever you are! May St Patrick long continue to bless you, his beloved Ireland and her people.
Man. Gaelic sounds legit. It's a cool language that should never be forgotten.
Gaeilge.
Ageless Martial Arts Las Vegas gaeilge not Gaelic that’s like calling English, American
C Poyais sorry meant no disrespect. Just nice to hear another language besides English that didn’t come from British influence.
Cathal Poyais-Duggan kinda false, since gaelic is in fact a root for celtic languages, see irish and scottish, but gaeilge is litterally irish in irish. By the by, irish is also called irish gaelic while scot is also called scottish gaelic, meaning you could just say gaelic if the person you are talking to knows the context.
@@cd1051 no it's not like that
Every culture's native language is a source of pride and unique identity. I have nothing but respect for those who refuse to let their ancestral tongue die out.
You're completely right. Go raibh maith agat :)
Me, too. Totally agree.
My great-grandmother is from Ireland, and she only spoke Gaelige when she was too angry to think in English. Even so, in her rage, I found it such a beautiful language. I miss her so much, she was such a strong woman and an example to women, even today. I'm so proud to be her great-granddaughter.
Gaelige, nice
@@dl5498 was close the saying something
Have you learned it?
My Grandmum only spoke English if she was angry with some white English speaker. It usually involved a fistfight shortly thereafter. I'm grateful to have Irish as my native language (never learned a word of English until I was ten), because it lets me feign not speaking English, which I use at least once every day. I know people who've known me for more than ten years and have no clue I can speak and understand English whatsoever, nonetheless that I can do so fluently.
Love your post! Irish is a very idiomatic language. It lends itself to a good half hour of raging. A rant is not a proper rant unless you rant _as gaeilge_ (in Irish)😂🤣😂🇮🇪👍y
My god, this must be what English sounds like to non English speakers.
He knows it's not english. What he means is that the impact of hear an language that is not native, but looks like yours in some aspects, is similar to foreigners that hear english. For us portuguese speakers, is like when we read/hear latin.
No, it's not. Nothing close. (English isn't my native language).
Great description. I'm Brazilian, and English sounds like this for me when I'm not having a great comprehension or when it is spoken in a different accent that I'm not used too. That's hard. But I study it everyday. Be happy if know english as a natural thing in your life.
I'm brazilian as well and no, it doesn't sound nothing like english. More like a nordic language, surprisingly enough.
earaza says who ?
First time in my 44 years hearing this language being spoken, and only because I specifically searched for it. Was shocked to find out only 1.7% of people in Ireland speak it daily. Don't let this awesome language die out!
Irish is mandatory in primary and secondary schools. Only 1.7% speak Irish on a _daily basis_ but all five million of us spent approx 12 years learning it. A lot of older people are re-learning it and, apparently, there are currently 1.10 million people actively learning Irish. And there are prospects for the younger crowd. Since January 2022 Irish is a full official language of the European Union which means that all EU documents (not just treaties) will have an Irish language version… which means jobs for translators. The future is hopeful. 🤗👍🇮🇪
@@Clodaghbob that's great to hear!
Oh that's a very deceiving statistic. That's only accounting for Native speakers who only speak Irish in Gaeltachtaí. When you account for people who speak both Irish and English at home, or speak it work, or speak the language outside of a Gaeltacht, that number is far higher. The language is not evenly dispersed throughout the country, the west of the country has far more speakers per capita than the midlands or Dublin. Everyone in Ireland must learn Irish in school, but many of our schools are Gaelscoileanna, meaning that all subjects, except for English are taught through Irish. Also, sadly, there's an economic component outside of Gaeltachtaí. Wealthier families can afford to send their kids to the Gaeltacht for the summer and there is a correlation between wealth and proficiency in Irish in many areas. But yah, that number really does not reflect reality. I grew up in Kerry and live in Galway city now and pretty much every Irish person I know is either fluent or at least, conversational. The younger generation also definitely have a more positive attitude towards the language.
@@seanosull2884 That’s a good point about the 1.7% being in the Gaeltachtaí. I was wondering how that percentage was arrived at given that no one really knows how much Irish is spoken in the rest of the country.
P.S. How does someone speaking quality Irish (Cúige Mumhan) cope among people speaking _foreign_ Irish (Cúige Chonnacht)? Just stirring the pot a bit …in case a crust forms on the topic! 🤪😂😅😂
@@Clodaghbob With difficulty, we all know Munster Irish is by far superior😜 ... tbf, many local Galwegians love my Kerry Irish. I've noticed that my Irish has become more 'Galway' after living here for the past three years, which I'm not happy about in the slightest haha
I have no idea what she's saying, but I like how the language sounds!
+Lúcás Ó'Daimhín Sorry, can you say that in English?
I've been trying to learn how to say that, but when I listen to it, it sounds like the "raibh" is skipped over completely!
That's funny, I just listened to a pronunciation online that made it sound like "guru mah (gutteral h) ahgat." Maybe there are just a wide range of accents?
there are, like in any country Starshine. Dialects exist everywhere, in every language, and Irish is no exception. someone from Donegal is not going to speak the same as someone from say, Cork, or Dublin, or Galway.
@@brinmoody Three dialects left, in fact. Ulster/Donegal, Connacht/Connemara (and parts of Mayo), Munster/parts of Kerry, Cork and Waterford.
Outside of that you have learners with varying degrees of fluency and phonetic accuracy, and neo-natives raised to varying degrees of proficiency by parents who were learners themselves.
Preserve Celtic!!
Hate that guy!
But you are a Jew.
Oh I'm sorry I thought this was Ireland

Yes!

We must preserve all the Celtic languages 🏴🇮🇪🏴
There's a saying in the Welsh proverb Cenedl heb iaith, cenedl heb galon - A nation without a language is a nation without a heart.
@Dennis In Irish it's "Tír gan teanga, tír gan anam". "A country without a language is a country without a soul".
@@dennis12decYou’re using a language right now. 😂
I feel goosebumps seeing this video knowing what the british did to try to erase this great language
@Imix Muan So you're a traitor to Ireland and your ancestors
half irish, half british here, fuckin disgusting man
Yourmom that one Irish kid in the movie The Wind that shakes the barley that gets murdered by the blacks and tans for saying his name in Gaelic not English
@@mesofius there’s virtually no deviation in the genetic pool of scots, Irish, English, or Welsh for that matter. So technically he’s not a traitor
@@user-nd6kj8yp8u They're completely different, the English have been polluted with large amounts of French and German DNA, while the Irish are mostly the same as they were 2000 years ago
We don't like to call Irish "Gaelic" in Ireland, in fact, very few Irish people call the language "Gaelic" which is more of a cultural term in Ireland, i.e. Gaelic sports, Gaelic literature, etc. We prefer just to call it Irish or Gaeilge which is the proper name for it. But thank you for posting this video and thank you for promoting a beautiful language :) Go raibh maith agat mo chara agus Gaeilge go deo :)
Nice
Go raibh maith agat.
@@seanmcgonegon it’s Gaeilge
its a barbaric language, sounds like caveman talk.
Gaelic was a very common name for it until a generation or two ago. I have relatives who called it that (west of Ireland). If you're speaking English, Irish is fine, Gaelic if you are talking about the language in a broader sense, as in the language itself the Gaelic dialects, including those of Scotland, are not given different names but are identified by their geographical location. (Tá Gaeilge na hAlban ag an bhfear sin - 'that man speaks Scottish Gaelic'. And this is also the case in reverse, a native Scottish Gaelic speaker would say 'Gaidhlig na Mumhan' , excuse my attempt at SG spelling, to refer to the Irish of Munster.)
And Fear gaeelach is correct, in Donegal Irish they still call it 'Gaeilic' in their dialect, and this was also a common name for the language all over North Connacht and Leinster before the language declined.
turn on english subtitles, they are hilarious.

They approach Sanskrit in their sounds, a slow approach, but it's there. The aspirated consonants are one sign: BH, TH.
@@prabhuthomas8770 not everything has to be about sanskrit
@@prabhuthomas8770 maybe because both of those languages evolved from a common ancestor language
@Magic Beans Not every Indian thinks like that, please don't generalise every person of Indian descent.
Gaeilge is so beautiful to listen to. I wish more people in the land of my ancestors would embrace it and speak it as their first language. It deserves no less!
@Liam Quinn Hebrew ceased to be used as a spoken everyday language for more than 2000 years. Now it's the first language of a significant number of people, and the second language of many. All it takes for any language to survive is people who care about it. All over the world, people are learning Irish, myself included.
Ukrainians congratulate the Irishes that Irish language has received the status of an official working language in the institutions of the European Union.
People didn't choose to stop speaking Gaeilige, the language was systemically surpressed by the English through their educational and financial control over Ireland in the 1800s.

Spent 3 years learning latin and am now attempting Irish (harder in some extent being my first true spoken language). Its beautiful to see the links between the latin language and gaeilge.
Wow ...this sounds so good ....❤
To all the people in the comments who are trying to argue with the non-native English speakers who are saying that this sounds like English, what you must understand is that they are correct. Trust me. As English speakers we do not understand that we sound 'English', meaning 'native speakers of the English language and most of the phonemes, intonations and stress patterns that come with that', not meaning 'of English nationality'.
Be honest with yourself, if somebody played you a recording of a German speaker from Munich and a German speaker from Switzerland, or a Spanish speaker from Mexico or Colombia, Spain even, would you be able to tell the difference (assuming you haven't learned both of those languages)?
Yes, the words she is using are 'Irish words', but Irish is not taught in schools with the native phonetics of the Irish language but with Englishy approximations based on the native/first language of the majority of Irish people.
what a beautiful language!
Beautiful sound.
This language is magical for me...🇧🇷♥️🇮🇪

Google 'Oideas Gael'.
You can learn it pretty easily on a website called doulingo. I've been learning for a little over a month and it's working pretty well so far for me. Like with this video I could catch a few words and phrases.
"I'm yamaga's onion the Heron can go Joe."
I'm learning Irish by myself just by reading the English subtitles, thanks Google.
Gaelic is so beautiful to listen to.
All the comments are from years ago, but here I am appreciating this, on this fine evening.
Thank you for posting this! First time I heard the language being spoken, there should be an Irish language revival even among Irish Americans, who wouldn't like to feel that close your ancestors
there is :) ive met a few americans who speak irish :) there are irish heritage centres
I've actually met Americans and even Germans who speak better Irish than most Irish people. I think it's because they payed a great deal of attention to the phonetics of the language, which are mostly ignored in schools and Gaelscoils.
I'm an Englishman learning Irish because .. well, just because. It's daunting but satisfying. Also learning Greek, which is much easier!
Dubliner here, that's amazing to hear. I've never seen an Englishman even consider learning Irish. If only Irish people tried to learn more 'just because'. I know some Greek, and it's a difficult language. For someone to say Irish makes Greek look easy makes me see it in a new perspective because I grew up learning it. Best of luck with your language learning mo chara. Go raibh maith agat agus fan ag foghlaim an teanga aileann seo!
Irish is one of the only languges I can feel completely calmed by while not understanding a word.
Such an epic language, I want to learn it one day for sure=)
spoken it sounds so lovely, but listen to songs in gaelic it is amazing❤️❤️❤️🎉
Sounds like Swedish + Dutch + Danish + Icelandic with a mix of Elf language from LOTR
It’s not called Gaelic for starters, its called Irish here, in Ireland, or Gaeilge in the language itself. I like this vid though, it’s nice to see it floating around!
Yeah. Scottish people speak Gaelic.
It can be called Gaelic. It's a common misconception spread by Irish youngsters who learned in school that it can't.
Visit the Gaeltacht in Donegal, whether they are speaking English or Irish they call the language 'Gaeilic'.
On the Aran Islands older men refer to it as Gaeilge in Irish but Gaelic if they are referring to it in English.
In the Munster dialects it's 'Gaelainn' in Irish and Irish or Gaelic when referring to it in English (at least by native speakers above a certain age)
@@cigh7445 I had Irish people themselves (at a bar in Dublin--not youngsters) tell me that they call Irish, Irish (when they're speaking English) and Gaeilge when they're speaking Irish. Gaeilge isn't even pronounced the same as Gaelic. Whereas in Scottish Gaelic, their word for their own language is Gàidhlig, which is pronounced very similarly to how Gaelic is pronounced in (American) English.

It's curious to sea how Gaelic sounds like English and how Breton sounds like french. Our current languages have the sonorities of the language of our celtic ancesters. English is a mix of Gaelic with Germanic and French is a mix of Breton with Latin
French would be a mix of Gaulish with Latin and some Frankish.
Nope English is anglo saxon... A germanic language with a *tiny* smattering of celtic nouns and a lot of french vocabulary
Irish sounds *nothing* like English , Nothing at all

If you’re Éireannach and you think Gaeilge is a dead language and/or sounds terrible, do us all a favour and move to England, thanks!
no for real. they're kind of insulting other cultures by saying that too. There are many native American languages that only have like 10,000 speakers, how disrespectful that would be to tell them their language is dead! Irish has quite a few native speakers, for a language that has been so persecuted. it'd beyond me why Irish people (and some ppl from other celtic countries) treat their languages so badly. effects of colonization? probably tbh.
