Ask rDrama: Is there anything you'd like to say about your home country? :marseydiversity:

I think it's cool we have a lot of dramatards from all over the world. Most are from the Anglosphere but it's still nice to learn about things I didn't know about like voice posting or Trudeau antics. We also have plenty of Brazilians and Latin Americans. :marseymaid: :platyaboriginal:

Do we have any Mexicans cos I don't seem to hear about them very often? :marseymexican:

Of course there's Aevann but he doesn't seem to mention life in Egypt very often if ever. :mar!seythonk: :capyp!haraoh:

Anyway, does anyone want to share any tidbits or anecdotes? Perhaps you'd like to clear up a misconception or shill for the motherland? :marseyreportercnn:

Of course most people here are American but if anyone wants I personally can talk about Texas/Cali/Colorado/Kansas. :marseyburger:

There's a myopic view about our native (dying) language because the government were such useless strags in teaching or encouraging it.

Gaeilge :marseyflagirelandlove::marseyflagirelandlove::marseyflagirelandlove:

Most people see no "use" in learning their heritage so they shrug their shoulders about moan about it.

There's a type of school that recently became known called Gaelscoileanna that strictly only teach in Irish and they've been booked fully for the 3 decades practically :marseysigh:

Big rip :marseytombstone:

For what it's worth I've always respected people who try to keep old languages alive. I remember New Mexico is full of Navajo language stuff like events where you can take children to see the newest Disney thing but in Navajo. Nothing wrong with keeping a culture alive as long as it's not unapologetic grifting.

It's a beautiful language. The 1916 Rising leader's were willing to kill and die for the ability to speak it. I think they would have been aggrieved to see how the state of the people are now. :marseygiveup:

English cucked you guys so much, you'll forever be an ex-anglo colony. I guess the long and drawn out end of the Celtics is still going. Do you actually think it can even make a recovery, especially with all the immigration that's been happening?

It won't recover but we've kept it on the current life support for about 100 years. People will learn it in school, use a few phrases from it in personal conversation, feel guilty about not speaking it. The rich send their kids to Irish speaking schools as a flex. It's an official language of the state (and the EU) so there'll always be work translating documents into it for nobody to actually read. It will neither die nor really ever live.

Idk :marseytears:

It's a very poetic language full of drama. Instead of saying "I am sad" the Irish phrase is "tha mi bron ach" (the sadness is upon me) :marseyoperaphantom: . In Gaelic, the term "cianalas" refers to the intense and sorrowful loss of homeland. :marseycrying:

I wish it wasn't like this.

Only difference between anglos and Irish is the century their Celtic ancestors were Germ'd. Just accept your new superior culture and abandon the cringe CeltBIPOC larp.

I want the language to survive

:( It's unique and people in the past legit killed eachother and died for the hope of being ale to practice it. :marseydepressed:

To see it slowly wither away from sheer apathy is very sad.

Counterpoint: Celtoids should've united against the Germ menace instead of infighting during the dark ages if they wanted to have their languages survive.
