Thoughts on these languages?
That map is c. 1700.
dead or dying
Unfortunately the English have basically killed them off, and really only strive or are spoken under their own communities or havens

now that the North Germanic languages are out of the way, what do you think about Celtic ones?
they look really cool spelled out (except Scattish), but sound pretty weird. Not bad or anything, just kind of unmemorable I guess? Like I've heard Welsh many times, but I couldn't really describe how it sounds. Maybe I'm just not used enough to it. But obviously I hope they don't disappear.

Irish sounds pretty good when spoken by one of the few real native speakers left. Welsh sounds like a gay lisp
What's wrong with Scottish?
not really.
>What's wrong with Scottish?
you, also it's a meme language
Scottish (assuming you mean scots and not Scottish gaelic) isn't even on OP's map.
>welsh, breton and irish arent but scottish is
ah. the mong shows himself.
>confusing scottish gaelic with scots
Finnish retardation.
Literally never seen it before
cringe
retard.
both are meme languages. Don't know anything about Breton but afaik many people still speak Irish and Welsh. Scottish Gaelic on the other hand is essentially dead.
>>welsh, breton and irish arent but scottish is
yes
welsh niggers be like gyy dib fwaf ddryg ywwy wwyn drrrr din
>but afaik many people still speak Irish
no they dont.
>he thinks few speakers makes it a "meme" language
really mong level.
Scottish gaelic has as many speakers as Irish.
>hhaha they use a different orthography than me
really stupid german boy here.
Scottish gaelic and irish have essentially the same amount of native speakers
Welsh sounds awesome, it's my language of choice when it comes to celtic languages.
Irish sounds awesome.
Breton sounds awesome.
Scottish Gaelic sounds awesome, it's my second favorite. Sounds way more masculine than native Irish. I would probably try learning this with access to better learning resources.
Cornish sounds awesome.
Manx needs to fix their writing system.
I hope all of these languages continue to be spoken. It would be a travesty to lose them just like losing any other language would be.

Stop feeling the need to voice your opinion on topics you know nothing about. Nobody cares about your pathetic life. If you died right now then nobody would go to your funeral.
Scottish Gaelic is also in a stronger position than Irish since Scottish people don't hate it like the Irish hate their own language.
>Sounds way more masculine than native Irish
Scottish Gaelic sounds are closer to the original Gaelic. Though I recommend you learn Irish instead just since it has lots of resources but the best selling book in Europe for over 100 years was originally in it so maybe that would be encouragement.
That might be because Scottish Gaelic is heavily influenced by Norse unlike Irish.
Also, a Scottish Gaelic song: youtube.com
>no they dont.
If true then it could be a meme language too. Still sounds better than scattish
>>he thinks few speakers makes it a "meme" language
>really mong level.
cope
wikipedia at least says Irish has more L1 and especially L2 speakers, but ok.
seething
Scottish Gaelic wasn't that influenced. Only 3% of it's vocabulary is Norse.
>the best selling book in Europe for over 100 years
What book was that?
is this false information
en.wikipedia.org
>L1 speakers: 170,290 (2019)
>L2 speakers: 1,761,420 (2016)
en.wikipedia.org
>57,000 fluent L1 and L2 speakers in Scotland (2011)
>Still sounds better than scattish
I doubt you can tell the difference between them.
"Estimates of fully native Irish language speakers in Ireland range from 40,000 to 80,000."
" 57,000 fluent L1" scottish
Are you talking about Ossian?
Clearly you have upset by a Scottish user on Zig Forums, and you couldn’t reply to him because the thread was archived, or else you wouldn’t have such a strong opinion about something that is so geographically far removed from yourself. You are the one who is seething.
I feel that it has more than just vocabulary influences though.
Ossian Poems, no they aren't forgeries.
*1,6 million took irish classes at school
I have met 0 Irishmen who can actually speak Gaelic who aren't a native speaker.
>actually thinking that 1,761,420 irish people actually speak it fluently as a second language
LOOOOOL YOU FUCKING IDIOT they learn how to ask “can I go to the toilet” in Irish and that’s about it
I am talking about Ossian's poems. If you are wondering anything about if they are real then just ask me and I will do my best to answer.
It might be phonological influenced but I wont pretend I know.
>L1 speakers: 170,290 (2019)
sounds bullshit
it's 17,687 according to uni-due.de
IIRC, the poet is fictional, but the works were all created by a 17th century Scotsman. Voltaire and Napoleon loved them.
proofs? Why wouldn't scots do the same?
>but the works were all created by a 17th century Scotsman
They weren't. They were copied and translated from manuscripts collected about Scotland and poems recorded.
There are schools for scottish gaelic. the schools get too many people applying to them and it is now required in the hebrides for all children to have exclusively gaelic teaching for up until age 8.
