Many people think that the language of Ireland is English spoken with a lilting brogue. They don't realize that the Irish language is Gaelic and that's an Irish accent coloring the English!

Irish was banned centuries ago in Ireland, but it was impossible to destroy, and is still spoken by many people in Ireland and in Irish communities around the world.
