The Irish (Irish: Muintir na hÉireann or Na hÉireannaigh) are an ethnic group and nation native to the island of Ireland, who share a common identity and culture.Ireland has been inhabited for about 33,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland).For most of Ireland's recorded history, the Irish have been primarily a Gaelic people (see Gaelic Ireland). [90] Learning was not exclusive to the hereditary learned families, however; one such example is Cathal Mac Manus, the 15th century diocesan priest who wrote the Annals of Ulster. The country came to be called Scotland, after the Roman name for the Gaels: Scoti. [110] People of Irish descent also feature strongly in Latin America, especially in Argentina and important minorities in Brazil, Chile, and Mexico. [64] The most significant Irish intellectual of the early monastic period was the 9th century Johannes Scotus Eriugena, an outstanding philosopher in terms of originality. In County Dublin itself the general rule was to place the stress on the initial vowel of words. prepositions governed different cases depending on intended semantics; this has disappeared in Modern Irish except in fossilised form. [56] The ruling clan's "expansion from the top downwards" was constantly displacing commoners and forcing them into the margins of society.[56]. [17] Many Icelanders have Irish and Scottish Gaelic forebears.[18]. [27] Medieval Irish historians, over the course of several centuries, created the genealogical dogma that all Irish were descendants of Míl, ignoring the fact that their own works demonstrated inhabitants in Ireland prior to his supposed arrival. The Irish bardic system, along with the Gaelic culture and learned classes, were upset by the plantations, and went into decline. What defines an Irishman? Much closer to the larger Connacht Gaeltacht is the dialect spoken in the smaller region on the border between Galway (Gaillimh) and Mayo (Maigh Eo). [31] Proficiency in just one official language for entrance to the public service was introduced in 1974, in part through the actions of protest organisations like the Language Freedom Movement. However, this haplogroup is now believed to have originated over 12,000 years more recently than previously thought, at only 5,000 years ago. Relatively few of the emigrants were literate in Irish, but manuscripts in the language were brought to both Australia and the United States, and it was in the United States that the first newspaper to make significant use of Irish was established: An Gaodhal. Their troops fight from chariots, as did the Greeks in the Trojan War. Although it has been noted that the Catholic Church played a role in the decline of the Irish language before the Gaelic Revival, the Protestant Church of Ireland also made only minor efforts to encourage use of Irish in a religious context. [47][better source needed] Filmmaker Bob Quinn, in the documentary series Atlantean, hypothesises the existence of an ancient sea-trading route linking North Africa and Iberia to regions such as Connemara. Common to both the monastic and the secular bardic schools were Irish and Latin. Otherwise, Anglicisation was seen as synonymous with 'civilising'" of the native Irish. Other forms of the name found in the various modern Irish dialects (in addition to south Connacht Gaeilge above) include Gaedhilic/Gaeilic/Gaeilig [ˈɡeːlʲɪc] or Gaedhlag [ˈɡeːlˠəɡ] in Ulster Irish and northern Connacht Irish and Gaedhealaing [ˈɡeːl̪ˠɪɲ] or Gaoluinn/Gaelainn [ˈɡeːl̪ˠɪnʲ][8][9] in Munster Irish. By the 10th century, Old Irish had evolved into Middle Irish, which was spoken throughout Ireland and in Scotland and the Isle of Man.

"The myth of the Black Irish: Spanish syntagonism and prethetical salvation." [102][103] It was noted in Time Magazine that the Congress' special theme would be "the Faith of the Irish". These Irish-medium schools send a much higher[clarification needed] proportion of pupils on to third-level education than do "mainstream" schools, and it seems increasingly possible that, within a generation, non-Gaeltacht habitual users of Irish will typically be members of an urban, middle class and highly educated minority. In Australia, too, the language found its way into print. 1072). Between 1921 and 1972, Northern Ireland had devolved government. [105] A comparison of traditional Irish and urban Irish shows that the distinction between broad and slender consonants, which is fundamental to Irish phonology and grammar, is not fully or consistently observed in urban Irish. [56] The English term for these lordships was "nation" or "country". Fitzgerald, Garrett, ‘Estimates for baronies of minimal level of Irish-speaking amongst successive decennial cohorts, 117-1781 to 1861–1871,’ Volume 84. At the end of the 19th century, they launched the Gaelic revival in an attempt to encourage the learning and use of Irish, although few adult learners mastered the language. [100], Urban Irish has been the beneficiary, over the last few decades, of a rapidly expanding independent school system, known generally as Gaelscoileanna, teaching entirely through Irish. However, some Gaelicised words use those letters: for instance, "jeep" is written as "jíp" (the letter v has been naturalised into the language, although it is not part of the traditional alphabet, and has the same pronunciation as "bh"). Nic Fhlannchadha, S. and Hickey, T.M. Irish missionaries such as Saint Columba brought Christianity to Pictish Scotland. [93] Boyle was an atomist, and is best known for Boyle's Law. In March 1656 a converted Catholic priest, Séamas Corcy, was appointed to preach in Irish at Bride's parish every Sunday, and was also ordered to preach at Drogheda and Athy. The pronunciation prevalent in the Joyce Country (the area around Lough Corrib and Lough Mask) is quite similar to that of South Connemara, with a similar approach to the words agam, agat and againn and a similar approach to pronunciation of vowels and consonants. Irish originated on the island of Ireland and was the population's first language until the late 18th century. [24] Seán Ó hEinirí of Cill Ghallagáin, County Mayo was almost certainly the last monolingual Irish speaker. Though southern Donegal Irish tends to use ní more than cha(n), cha(n) has almost ousted ní in northernmost dialects (e.g. By law if a Garda was stopped and addressed in Irish he had to respond in Irish as well. For example, sliabh ("mountain") is pronounced [ʃlʲiəw] in Connacht and Ulster as opposed to [ʃlʲiəβ] in the south. In 1995, President Mary Robinson reached out to the "70 million people worldwide who can claim Irish descent". [92] It was this latter family which produced Dubhaltach Mac Fhirbhisigh, the 17th century genealogist and compiler of the Leabhar na nGenealach. There was discontinuity between mesolithic central Europe and modern European populations mainly due to an extremely high frequency of haplogroup U (particularly U5) types in mesolithic central European sites. Many of their compositions were incorporated into the compendium Lebor Gabála Érenn. [125][126][127] An Irish-American, James Hoban, was the designer of the White House. [81] The Irish census of 1851 showed that there were still a number of older speakers in County Dublin. Instead, the main dialect used in the province was represented by a broad central belt stretching from west Connacht eastwards to the Liffey estuary and southwards to Wexford, though with many local variations. In recent years, County Wicklow has been noted as having the lowest percentage of Irish speakers of any county in Ireland, with only 0.14% of its population claiming to have passable knowledge of the language. In South Connemara, for example, there is a tendency to substitute a "b" sound at the end of words ending in "bh" [β], such as sibh, libh and dóibh, something not found in the rest of Connacht (these words would be pronounced respectively as "shiv," "liv" and "dófa" in the other areas). Many records show the majority of Irish emigrants to Australia were in fact prisoners. The standard spelling does not necessarily reflect the pronunciation used in particular dialects. Neither their languages nor the terms they used to describe themselves have survived. The Irish diaspora consists of Irish emigrants and their descendants in countries such as the United States, Great Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and nations of the Caribbean such as Jamaica and Barbados. For most of recorded Irish history, Irish was the dominant language of the Irish people, who took it with them to other regions such as Scotland and the Isle of Man, where Middle Irish gave rise to Scottish Gaelic and Manx. "'[63], Since the time of Charlemagne, Irish scholars had a considerable presence in the Frankish court, where they were renowned for their learning. Ireland has been inhabited for about 33,000 years according to archaeological studies (see Prehistoric Ireland).

The evidence furnished by placenames, literary sources and recorded speech indicates that there was no Leinster dialect as such. A substantial proportion of these committed crimes in hopes of being extradited to Australia, favouring it to the persecution and hardships they endured in their homeland.

Old Irish, dating from the 6th century, used the Latin alphabet and is attested primarily in marginalia to Latin manuscripts. The existence of an especially strong genetic association between the Irish and the Basques was first challenged in 2005,[34] and in 2007 scientists began looking at the possibility of a more recent Mesolithic- or even Neolithic-era entrance of R1b into Europe. A more recent whole genome analysis of Neolithic and Bronze Age skeletal remains from Ireland suggested that the original Neolithic farming population was most similar to present-day Sardinians, while the three Bronze Age remains had a large genetic component from the Pontic-Caspian Steppe. Kelly, James & Mac Murchaidh, Ciarán (eds.). & Ní Mhuiríosa, Máirín (ed.). Irish is represented by several traditional dialects and by various varieties of "urban" Irish. The numerous population of natives, he says, live in thatched cottages, store their grain in subterranean caches and bake bread from it. All three have distinctions in their speech and orthography. This genetic component, labelled as "Yamnaya" in the studies, then mixed to varying degrees with earlier Mesolithic hunter-gatherer and/or Neolithic farmer populations already existing in western Europe. [112], There are also large Irish communities in some mainland European countries, notably in Spain, France and Germany. [21] "Britain" is most like Welsh Ynys Prydein, "the island of Britain", in which is a P-Celtic allophone of Q-Celtic Cruithne in Irish Cruithen-tuath, "land of the Picts".

The 'traditional' view is that, in the 4th or 5th century, Goidelic language and Gaelic culture was brought to Scotland by settlers from Ireland, who founded the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata on Scotland's west coast. Fitzgerald, Garrett, 'Estimates for baronies of minimal level of Irish-speaking amongst successive decennial cohorts, 117-1781 to 1861–1871,’ Volume 84. In the Icelandic Laxdœla saga, for example, "even slaves are highborn, descended from the kings of Ireland. [83], Irish was spoken as a community language in Irish towns and cities down to the 19th century. It is from this that the Irish were, as late as the 1800s, popularly known as "Milesian". [92] The poetic families included the Uí Dhálaigh (Daly) and the MacGrath. The Joyce and Griffin/Griffith (Gruffydd) families are also of Welsh origin. Much earlier, in 1819, James McQuige, a veteran Methodist lay preacher in Irish, wrote: "In some of the largest southern towns, Cork, Kinsale and even the Protestant town of Bandon, provisions are sold in the markets, and cried in the streets, in Irish". Census data shows that 4,130 people speak it at home. [113] In the words of Field Marshal The 1st Duke of Wellington, the Irish-born 'Iron Duke', a notable representative of the Irish military diaspora, "Ireland was an inexhaustible nursery for the finest soldiers".[115]. All these pronunciations are distinctively regional. R1b-M269 is the most frequent haplogroup in Germany and in the Low Countries, and is common in southern Scandinavia and in northern and central Italy.[29][30]. In Irish, there are two classes of initial consonant mutations, which express grammatical relationship and meaning in verbs, nouns and adjectives: Mutations are often the only way to distinguish grammatical forms. [93] The English administrator and traveller Fynes Moryson, writing in the last years of the 16th century, said that "the English Irish and the very citizens (excepting those of Dublin where the lord deputy resides) though they could speak English as well as we, yet commonly speak Irish among themselves, and were hardly induced by our familiar conversation to speak English with us". Gaelic is a collective term for the closely-related native Celtic speech of Ireland, Scotland and the Isle of Man.,[6][11][12][5][13] and when the context is clear it may be used without qualification for the Gaelic of an individual region. Verb forms are highly regular, many grammars recognise only 11 irregular verbs. Northern Scottish Gaelic has many non-Ulster features in common with Munster Irish. This continued until the end of the century, when the Gaelic revival saw the creation of a strong Irish–speaking network, typically united by various branches of the Conradh na Gaeilge, and accompanied by renewed literary activity. The scientist Robert Boyle is considered the "father of chemistry", and Robert Mallet one of the "fathers of seismology". New Zealand also received some of this influx. An English official remarked of the Pale in 1515 that "all the common people of the said half counties that obeyeth the King's laws, for the most part be of Irish birth, of Irish habit and of Irish language". Another common Irish surname of Norman Irish origin is the 'de' habitational prefix, meaning 'of' and originally signifying prestige and land ownership. Due to initial mutation, prefixes, clitics, suffixes, root inflection, ending morphology, elision, sandhi, epenthesis, and assimilation; the beginning, core, and end of words can each change radically and even simultaneously depending on context. [131] Today, Australians of Irish descent are one of the largest self-reported ethnic groups in Australia, after English and Australian. Prepositions inflect for person and number. Eventually, the Anglo-Irish and Protestant populations of those three provinces decreased drastically as a result of the political developments in the early 20th century in Ireland, as well as the Catholic Church's Ne Temere decree for mixed marriages, which obliged the non-Catholic partner to have the children raised as Catholics[citation needed]. After Ireland's conversion to Christianity, Irish missionaries and scholars exerted great influence on Western Europe, and the Irish came to be seen as a nation of "saints and scholars". This flow of emigrants dropped sharply when assisted passage to Australia was introduced at which point the Argentine government responded with their own scheme and wrote to Irish bishops, seeking their support. In pronunciation, Irish most closely resembles its nearest relatives, Scottish Gaelic and Manx. "Home-grown holy man: Cry God for Harry, Britain and...

Irish President Douglas Hyde was possibly one of the last speakers of the Roscommon dialect of Irish.[27]. Although Irish (Gaeilge) was their main language in the past, today most Irish people speak English as their first language. [55] In the words of Seumas MacManus: If we compare the history of Ireland in the 6th century, after Christianity was received, with that of the 4th century, before the coming of Christianity, the wonderful change and contrast is probably more striking than any other such change in any other nation known to history.
