Today I had the pleasant realisation that the Irish language will outlive me.
#People love.to tell me that its an old language. Dying. Dead already.#But I really thought about it for a bit#And its not actually POSSIBLE for it to die in this generation#Of course I want it to have a longer future than that! But not a bad baseline#More people improve their Irish every day.#Children are being raised with irish all over the place. Going to naoinraí and gaeilscoils and gaeilcholaistí#And adult learners too.#My friend in Germany is part of a ciorcal comhra with members across 3 European countries#It's just. reassuring.#I wish every economically useless marginalised indigenous language the same security#Me Fein#An ghaeilge#irish language#Gaeilge
