Gaelic - High quality translations by native speakers
Gaelic is one of the three Goidelic languages. In the eighth article of Ireland’s Constitution, the Irish language was officially declared as the "main language" of the country. It’s also one of the 24 official languages of the European Union.
History of the language
The origins and development of the Gaelic language remain somewhat unclear, but it has been scientifically proven that Gaelic was already being spoken in 4th century Ireland. This early form of the language is referred to as “Archaic Irish” or “Old Irish.”

English was considered the language of the upper class, the government, and the administration. On the other hand, Gaelic was the language of the lowest class and seen as the language of the tramps, farmers, and fishermen.

Today, English is still very common throughout Ireland, but in many Northern Irish schools, Gaelic is a course subject and is sometimes even used as the language of instruction.
