Nobody said otherwise. The Irish language is the language of Ireland. As mentioned, only a certain creed would dispute that. Also as mentioned, it is used and dominant due to coercion. Of course history is relevant.
It's Irrelevant how much you think people may remember what they learned.
It makes perfect sense, in fact more sense to use the native language that is still used, in a visual like this. Nobody raging about colonialism here, but some cunts are very easy to see when they try to dispute any native culture. Especially when it's for no other reason but to be a cunt. A stupid one at that. "Literally nobody speaks it" literally.. Yeah.. 🙄
Yeah, keep coming with the bullshit. Okay hyperbole it is.
But history isn't really relevant? 🤔🙄 I've read some twats in my time, but that...
Your last paragraph would be a different thread. Fuck off and make that one if it makes you happy, but it's not the same as the OP.
I literally gave the stats in my original comment ya eejit
You didn't answer, what %?
My last paragraph isn't a different thread, it's illustrating how daft it'd be to ask someone about a minority language for the OP.
What are you shiting on about, what% would I put it at? I'm pretty sure that's not how stats work. According to the official figures from the census in 2022..
Your last paragraph is a question that hasn't been asked. It's not relevant to this thread. Nobody asked about a minority language. While you and some others may dispute the existence or relevance of the Irish language, that is Irrelevant.
That is how stats work. What % of the population is fluent in Irish. 5-10% is the figures I can see.
Irish is the minority language, speaking to the average person in the minority language would result in them asking you to speak in the majority language. Since the average person doesn’t speak the minority language.
Asking somebody 'what percent would they put it at', is not how stats work.
Irish is the native language. Majority of Ireland would agree that Irish is the language of Ireland, no matter.
Also, your reply there is making the same point I made in the op. So now you are just posting shit for the sake of it.
Aye it is ya spoon. I’m assuming since you don’t think it’s a nonsense thing to map you must’ve had better references showing it was widely popular and understandable.
Majority doesn’t speak Irish, so the official majority language should be used.
My reply was making the point that it was a nonsense thing to map since the answer is predictable. Tell me, what would be the average Irish persons response if you walked up to them and started speaking Irish?
Jaysus. If I have to explain to you how stats work there's "literally" no hope for you. 🙄
The official native language would be chosen by the majority as the official language, as per 2022 and 2016. Especially in the context of the visual used for this thread Your reply was nonsense crap, then You made the point that I had already made in my first post.
At a guess, it would be the same as any person when a randomer walked up to them and started talking. However if they were to approach them and talk without any proper identity and start putting on a shitty accent, repeating things over to make the same point and saying things like "literally" to attempt to make a point, I guess they would see them as the simpleton they are and either give them a lollipop and a pat on the head, or walk away.
I have a degree in stats you thick cunt. Work on the reading comprehension.
Official languages are English and Irish.
90% don’t speak Irish. Their reaction would be ‘speak English ya weapon’ obviously. Enough of your pish. Away fling shite at the moon.
Bwahhaaha hahaha yeah you do, you fucking clown. So you are just pretending to be obtuse?
Yet you are arguing against yourself by using the same point I made initially. Fucking literally a genius.. Derp..
