"...look at Ireland where they tried to revert to Gaelic in the 40's - 60's..."

Don't talk twaddle, dear Guest.
I'm sure you know that it was a crime to utter any word of the Mother Tongue, a crime punishable by death, I might add

The 'British' almost did a damned good job at wiping out indigeneous languages, in the Celtic Isles.

The fact that they do not survive today, like they should have been always allowed to exist, is not our fault. We should not have had to 're-learn' our languages.
So much time wasted, trying to undo what 'civilisation' bequeathed to us. The Irish did not feel the need to change all the place-names to something a little more Anglicised. We were never that arrogant

Like I mean...who the fuck, in their right mind, would want to call a place Belfast, when the original Béal Feirste was perfect the way it was?
