    Well, of course, English... and I'm teaching myself Japanese--but I'm not that determined to learn at the moment, so it's going slow... I only know some phrases and words, and some simple kanji...

    Sadly, the only language I speak fluently is English. I studied French and Latin in high school, but forgot most of what I learned. I'm currently studying Japanese at college, and I'd like to take Welsh, but the program here isn't always available. Oh, if HTML counts as a valid language I know that too. *grins*

    Of course, it doesn't help that I've never been very good at learning other languages. Japanese is easier than French though.

    actual irish is gaelic. from what i've seen of it..it's nothing like english. that would be qualified as a very big difference

    'Course there's a recognized difference 'twixt Irish and Scottish Gaelic. It's more than just dialectical differences.

    /me slaps B-berry upside da head!

    don't ever call it gaelic :)

    it's irish damnit!
    or Gaeilge (irish, *in* irish)..


    aye,Irish was the main language of Ireland many many years ago but the british came and when they colonised ireland they tried to stamp it out, so now not a lot of people speak it. but it's still a fairly active language.


    as for what it soudns like, check the "worser dare thread" i posted a lil bit of it there

    It might just be the Scotch brand of gaelic, but I really don't think the language works as well in song as the accent.
