I worked for many years with an Irish fella from Dublin and he couldnt speak a lick of Gaelic, I wasnt impressed. I was like "You Irish are some of the most patriotic nationalistic people on earth and you dont even speak your indigenous language,shame on you!!" I used to give him a ribbing all the time.LOL

You can thank the English for that. Whenever the old timers tried to speak Irish they were arrested an punished by the English. They tried to stamp it out.

My grandmother spoke fluent Irish Gaelic. Combine that with  my grandfathers harsh Arabic ,needless to say it was interesting.

You can thank the English for that. They tried to stamp it out and arrested anyone caught speaking it or teaching it. It is now making a comeback.
