Irish
Irish also known as Irish Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the
Indo-European language family, originating in Ireland and historically
spoken by the Irish people. Irish is now spoken natively by a small
minority of the Irish population – mostly in Gaeltacht areas – but also
plays an important symbolic role in the life of the Irish state, and is
used across the country in a variety of media, personal contexts and
social situations. It enjoys constitutional status as the national and
first official language of the Republic of Ireland and it is an official
language of the European Union. Irish is also an officially recognised
minority language in Northern Ireland.

Irish Gaelic language
The history of the Irish Gaelic language begins in Central Europe in the
5th century B.C., where a new tribe was taking Europe by storm - the
Celts. This tribe was a hospitable group, placing much importance on
family and friends - and widely known for their strength and valor in
combat, and strong sense of culture in time of peace. Winning battle
after battle, the Celts eventually conquered most of modern Europe;
occupying lands from the Iberian peninsula in the west, to the Scottish
highlands in the north, spanning Europe to the Black Sea in the East,
and touching as far south as Central Italy.
Learning Irish!
For many people, learning Irish is a way to connect with their
roots. Irish has a very long written history and is a very colorful and
rich language. Irish has official recognition in Ireland, although most
people speak English most of the time, and is learned by many folks of
Irish descent in the UK, Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand. Also
called Irish Gaelic, it is one of the few surviving Celtic languages and
is closely related to Scottish Gaelic and Manx.
