Human: Is there an Irish language that is still used today?

Assistant: The most popular form of Irish is Irish-Gaelic, which is spoken mostly in areas with a large amount of Irish descent in the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.  But there are actually about 20 other Irish languages (there were about 90 total back in the 1800s, but many have been “lost” as the number of Irish speakers has declined).  Most of these are now only spoken by a few hundred people or less.  As a fun fact, there are two languages for which the term “Irish” is only used as a “sense of nation” and not in any way related to how the language is actually spoken or written.


Human: Is there an Irish language that is still used today?

Assistant: Well, there are many different forms of Irish. The most well-known forms of Irish are Irish and Hiberno-English, which are varieties of the English language that have been heavily influenced by Irish. However, it is important to note that there is no “standard” version of Irish, so even if you could speak one Irish variety, you might not be able to understand other people who speak another variety of Irish. Additionally, not all speakers of Hiberno-English or Irish are descended from the same cultural or ethnic group, and many speakers of Irish are not descended from the island of Ireland at all.
