Why do you still speak English?
It always wondered me, why Ireland 90 years after her independace still use language of her occupier.
We Serbs and many other balkanian nationalities were for centuries occupied by Turks, but we have just few percents of their words, and their number is still declining.
So, I don't understand why is situation like it is in Ireland. I'm sure that 90 years ago many peasants were speaking Irish Gealic, and that it was posible to revive old Irish language.
Are there some attemps today for Irish revival?
