dead langue ?
is anyone fluent anymore
Other than Gaelteach areas there are no fluent speakers but it seems to be on the rise again
It goes through phrases in terms of usage.

I'm still tryin to work out what a langue is ?
Do they sing about it on New Year's Eve?
Hello darkness my old friend.....
Few fluent speakers.
Even fewer competent spellers. Especially in Belfast.

My experience is that we resented it, as it was forced upon us. “What job can you get from it? A postman in the Gaeltacht.”
Everyone saw it as a necessary evil. It should be optional and not just the language thought but also Gaelic culture and history and mythology. If kids got into the myths first I bet they would be more likely than develope a passion for the language. Right now all there is, is resentment. Same when I was a kid.
