Irish Glossary of Gaelic Words/Terms
Americans tend to call it ‘Gaelic’. Irish people call it ‘Irish’, or Gaeilge - which is the Irish for ‘Irish’ (language, that is). Or the Gaelic for ‘Gaelic’, I guess.
Bits of Gaeilge appear on Irish KC frequently, sometimes through necessity in describing Irish politics, and other times because it permeates so much of Irish cultural life. And then there’s times I’m just being a pain.
As such, here’s a little something I put together over thirty-eight cups of tea. It’s a glossary of Irish language words and terms as used on Irish KC.
It’s not a dictionary, nor a phrase-book, nor an official government listing. But I will link to it as words as Gaeilge appear in postings. Just like that. And it will grow.
For your entertainment I have also included a whole rake of links from terms where appropriate links exist.
