If ever you see signs in Ireland 🇮🇪 that read - An Ghaeltacht- then you are in a district of Ireland where the Irish language is the main language spoken in that area ☘️. Many of the Gaeltacht areas are located on the Atlantic coast which includes parts of Donegal, Mayo, Galway, Kerry and Cork. There are a number of Gaeltacht areas in other counties like Waterford on the South East Coast of Ireland, and county Meath in the province of Leinster.
Irish is one of the oldest and most historic written languages in the world 🌍. It came to this country from the continent of Europe over 2500 years ago. By the beginning of the Christian era, Irish was spoken throughout the island of Ireland.
There is a strong traditional arts culture in the Gaeltacht, and the people of the Gaeltacht are famous for dancing, song and crafts etc. The Gaeltacht area in the photograph is Lohar, Waterville Co.Kerry 💚.
Míle buíochas...thank you 🙏.
