+Brandon Veracka your saying like anything is in Irish for young people its a school subject just like french or german but not used at all in our personal lives outside of schools

+Brandon Veracka It wasn't just English people, it was Scotland was even worse.

+Anh Quan Chu Yes, they do. There are four main regional accents in Ireland. The Irish spoken in Belfast in this video has a distinct Belfast accent to it, more so than even the regional Northern Irish accent in general. .

yeh +Brandon send you my regards from Hanoi

+Anh Quan Chu Sorry for my late reply, but well said yourself! Even if I can't find the exact words to explain why (oh language, lol), I'll always think it's good to everyone to learn at least one second language. It doesn't just benefit you culturally (i.e. you'll be able to talk to certain people), it also opens-up your mind to new ways of thinking and communicating. =) Best Regards from Boston!

Well said Brandon! Asian meself and find that English-language matter both interesting and troublesome! Put a piece of my opinion in here: Actually I think some Asian languages are quite contrary to English (like Vietnamese for example). Basically the point here is the more you speak one language, the less you will be able to remember the other one. Different languages require different mindset. And you should count on your language standard as well. What do you want to learn a new language for? Either you learn it for fun, or you want to master the language and turn yourself into an English professional, it's down to you.    

+Aditya Restu P You certainly bring-up an interesting point; are we letting languages die due to a cultural trend toward an English-speaking majority, OR is something else to blame (i.e. world politics, the global economy, or others) ? As with many discussions this serious, I do not claim to have any answers, only personal opinions and theories. In the case of Ireland I'd say it's my opinion that English was (and still is) more or less forced upon them to the point where continuing to speak Irish becomes a chore. Thus I believe the Irish language is dying because it's not the official language of Ireland; English is being taught to their kids, their public records and courts all use English. There's a point where speaking Irish becomes a chore, and I think that's why their language is dying.In the case of Asian countries where lots of children are learning English as a second language (and learning to speak it well), I think that is more of a trend; a trend that is going along with the politics and economic atmosphere of the time we live in. Because English is the preferred language of international business (as well as other meetings between cultures, like political talks), many foreigners see English as a way to have more success in the business world and to have more opportunities in general. Also, in these Asian countries where learning English has become commonplace, they're still retaining their national languages despite many of them being able to speak English; and I doubt they will ever stop speaking their native tongues. However, time will tell! Regardless, you've certainly got me thinking! Good day to you fellow intellectual!

+Brandon Veracka I agree with you.. Many people also believe that Irish is an accent.. just little among them who informed that Irish is also a language.. I think the government is the one that has responsible for the application of Irish in Ireland.. But not only Ireland Sir, even Most of the Asian young generation are began to using English as their daily basis language, is it also because of the influence of trend ?

To answer your question; Irish people mainly speak English, but many Irish people speak Irish as well, but usually as a second language because the official language in Ireland is English. Therefore over time the younger generations of Irish people began speaking more & more English; as most public aspects of Irish life, such as their courts, legal documents, etc. are written & spoken in English. Many Irish people want this to change, but [sadly] the trend is leaning toward more & more youths growing up without ever learning their country's true language.

Not exactly. The Irish language, which the name suggests, is a language and not an accent. Simply put, because of some bad times in Irish history, the British brought the English language to Ireland. Over time, English all but killed the Irish language via English schooling, laws, politics, etc. It's sad, and sadly typical of English people.
