"Béarlachas"

I've been meaning to write this post for some time now. As a person from the Galltacht (English-speaking Ireland) living and working in the Gaeltacht (Irish-language Ireland), and operating most of my life through the medium of Irish, I can honestly say that English-language Ireland, Second Language speakers of Irish and Learners of Irish tend to have a really skewered understanding of a) what Béarlachas is, b) the different forms it takes and c) what effects/damage/meaning each of its forms holds.

Contents of this post:

•Perceptions of Béarlachas

•Loanwords Vs Béarlachas

•Different Languages, Different Sounds

•Language Purity Vs Language Planning

•Conclusion

Perceptions of "Béarlachas"

Outside of the Gaeltacht, most people's understanding of "Béarlachas", or "Anglicisation" in Irish (which I am deliberately putting between inverted commas!), is the use of so-called "English-language words" in Irish. The usual list people like to list off include:

• Fón

• Teilifís

• Giotár

• Raideo

• Zú* (see Language Purity Vs Language Planning below)

• Carr*

*The ironic thing about the last item being that 'carr' (the word for a personal vehicle) is older than the English-language word 'Car' 🚗.

Second language learners with a bit more exposure to the language deride native speakers, particularly speakers from Conamara, for "using English words and adding '~áil' at the end to make a verb". Several examples being:

• Gúgláil (Google-áil)

• Sioftáil (Shift-áil)

• Sortáil (Sort-áil)

• Péinteáil (Paint-áil)

• Vótáil (Vote-áil)

• Focáilte (F*ck-áilte)

• Supósáilte (Suppose-áilte)

(⚠️NB: it is HIGHLY SIGNIFICANT that I spelt these words in these specific ways in Irish - to be explained below!⚠️)

Other so-called "English language words" in Irish include:

• Veain • Seit • Onóir • Ospidéal • Aláram • Cóta • Plaisteach • Leictreach, 7rl, 7rl...

And what about: "Halla" or "Hata" ??

Loanwords Vs Béarlachas

Before I explain where I'm going with this, I am going to introduce some words that have their origins in other languages, like:

"Seomra" from the Middle French "chambre".

"Séipéal" from the Middle French "chappelle".

"Eaglais" from the Greek "ekklesiastes".

"Pluid" from the Scots "plaide".

"Píopa" from Vulgar Latin "pipa".

"Corcra" from Latin "Purpura" (from before Irish had the sound /p/!)

"Cnaipe" from the Old Norse "knappr".

"Bád" from Anglo-Saxon "bāt".

ALL of these words, like the ones above, came into Irish via the most natural means a language acquires new words: language contact.

The reason WHY the word gets adopted is usually -and this is very important - the word is for something that the culture of the language Borrowed From already has, which is introduced to the language Borrowed Into.

For clarification, what I am trying to say is that languages NATURALLY oppose cultural appropriation by crediting the culture they got a word from by using their word for it...

I.E. "Constructing" a new "pure" word for an item that has come from another culture, is, in effect, a form of cultural appropriation - which is why institutions such as Alliance Française and Íslensk málstöð are at best puritanical, and at worst xenophobic*.

*There is nuance here - there is a difference between institutional efforts to keep a language "pure" (re: those such right-wing English/British and American opinionists who claim that the English language itself is endangered 🙄), and language planning (which also falls under the remit of Íslensk málstöð).

Furthermore, there is also such thing as "dynamic borrowing". This is where technically a language has adopted a word from another language, but has changed its meaning/adapted it to its own need. Let us take two Irish language words for example: "Iarnród" and "Smúdáil"

Iarnród is made up by two words taken from the English language: Iarann, from English language "iron" and Ród, from English-language "road".

Together, these two words mean the English-language term "Railway" - but English has never had the term "Iron Road" to refer to this object.

Similarly, Smúdáil comes from the English-language word "smooth". Only adapted to Irish, and adding the Irish-language verb suffix creates a word which means "to iron (clothing)". 😱

Different Languages, Different Sounds

Every single language on this planet has its own sound system, or "phonology". It is VERY rare for a new sound to be introduced into a different language, and some languages are MUCH more sensitive to what speakers of another language would consider a "subtle" difference, or not a difference at all.

Now...

IRISH HAS DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF SOUNDS AS THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE!!!!!!!

(^roughly ~ish) I am making this simplistic statement to DRIVE home the fact that what English-language speakers and Learners of Irish hear as "the same as the English", Irish speakers hear a SIGNIFICANT phonetic difference.

All consonants in Irish [B, bh, c, ch, d, dh, f, fh, g, gh, h, l, ll, m, mh, n, nn, p, ph, r, rr, s, sh, t, th] - and YES, séimhiú-ed consonants and double consonants count as separate consonants - EACH have at least TWO distinct sounds. Ever heard of that old rhyme "Caol le caol, leathan le leathan"? Well, the reason why it exists ISN'T to be a spelling tip - it's to show how to pronounce each consonant in a word - which of the two distinct sounds to say.

What I mean to say by this is that, when we adopt a word into Irish, we aren't just "grabbing the word from English and hopping a few fadas on it"; we are SPECIFICALLY adapting the word to the Irish language phonetic system.

I.E. when an Irish language speaker is saying the word "frid" THEY ARE NOT USING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE WORD "fridge" !!!

The sounds used in the English-language word belong to the English language, and the sounds used in the Irish-language word belong to the Irish language.

As a linguist I get very passionate about this distinction - the AMOUNT of times I have come across a self-important Irish language "learner" from the East of the country come to a Gaeltacht and tell native speakers that they are not using the "official" or "correct" version of a word in Irish just GRATES me to no end. PARTICULARILY as these so-called "learners" cannot hear, or typically have made NO effort to understand phonetic differences between the two languages. (Though honestly, on that point, I cannot wholely blame them - it is a fault on Irish language education as a whole that the differences in sound are hardly, if ever, mentioned, let alone taught!)

Language Purity Vs Language Planning

Moving on, as I mentioned earlier, it is very rare for a sound to be adapted into a new language. As many Irish language speakers and learners know, there is no /z/ sound in (most of the dialects of) Irish.

And yet, somehow, the official, modern translation given for the Irish language for "Zoo" is ...

Zú

Whenever I think on this given translation, I am always reminded of a good friend of mine, a lady from Carna, who used to always talk about "Súm" meetings she used to go on to talk with friends and family during COVID.

This woman only speaks English as a second language, having only ever learnt it at school and only ever used it in professional environments. She does not have the sound /z/, and as such, pronounces words that HAVE a "z" in them as /s/ sounds, when speaking in Irish OR in English.

As such, I often wonder how An Coiste Téarmaíochta can be so diligent in creating and promoting "Gaelic" words for new things, such as "cuisneoir" instead of "frid"; "guthán" instead of "fón" (which is actually pronounced "pón" in Conamara, as that suits the sound system of that dialect better); or "treochtú" instead of "treindeáil" ... And then turn around and introduce sound and sound combinations such as /z/ in "Zú" and /tv/ and /sv/ in "Tvuít" and "Svaedhpáil" 🤢

It's such this weird combo of being at the same time puritanical with regard to certain words, dismissive in regards to vernacular communities, and ignorant with regards to basic linguistic features of the language.

(Especially when, i mbéal an phobail, there are already such perfectly acceptable terms for these kinda words, like Gairdín na nAinmhithe for "Zú; Tuitéar and Tuít for "twitter" and "tweet"; and Faidhpeáil for "Svaedhpáil".)

Conclusion

This really prescriptivist approach by Irish language institutions needs to end. Not only is it not addressing or engaging with the Irish language as it is spoken by vernacular communities, it is creating this really twisted dynamic between second-language Irish speakers who apparently "know better" than first-language and native speakers of Irish.

This is what "Béarlachas" is. Not the natural adaption of words from a language with which Irish in the present day has most contact with. Not the dynamic inventions of native speakers, and even Second-language-as-vernacular speakers, utilising all the linguistic features available to them, whether that be their own dialects of Irish, English, or whatever OTHER languages/dialects are available to them.

"Béarlachas" is the brute enforcement of English language mentalities and an obsession with "purity" onto Irish, a language that has FOREVER adopted and integrated words, features and people into itself.

Gaeilge, like Éire of old, like the Ireland I want to be part of today, is open, inclusive, non-judgemental - knowing where it is coming from, and knowing that its community is its strength and key to how it has and will survive!

So, bit of a random Gaeilge question, but I've been thinking about if there are Gaeilge equivalents to "my love" and "sweetheart", things like that. I know ghra is love, but would it be normal to say "Mo ghra" as a pet name/term of affection?

typically they’re not direct translations of English endearments, as they naturally tend to vary from language to language, but yep! Irish has many many terms of endearment!

One thing to note is that in Irish you do have an equivalent of ‘my’, but you also have what is called a vocative case, easily recognisable by the particle ‘a’ right in front of the noun. Maybe you're already familiar with it, it’s a grammatical case used to address someone, if you're talking to someone directly (e.g. how are you, darling? darling is a vocative). So if you're calling someone a ‘pet’ or a ‘sweetheart’ or whatever without saying ‘my’, the vocative steps in (tbf ‘my’ just kind of masks the vocative, but that's a whole another story which i won't bore you with, especially since most endearments are considered grammatical exceptions anyway).

When addressing someone, i think that the vocative might sound a bit more ‘natural’ than the use of ‘my’, (which may be considered a bit ambivalent or a bit redundant, or maybe just a little too intense), but technically speaking neither is wrong so i'll list them both.

So here's a few common ones that come to mind:

noun vocative my [noun]

cara = friend a chara mo chara

stór = treasure a stór mo stór N.B. stóirín (little treasure/little darling) is an endearment usually reserved for a child, same as réaltín (little star), etc.

muirnín = darling a mhuirnín mo mhuirnín

cuisle = pulse/throb a chuisle mo chuisle

grá = love a ghrá mo ghrá N.B. to answer your question, I think the use of grá in Irish has a bit more of a serious connotation than its English counterpart, less colloquial or ‘casual’, if that makes sense

croí = heart a chroí mo chroí

grá mo chroí = my heart's love a ghrá mo chroí

rún = secret (darling) a rún mo rún

rún mo chroí = my heart's secret a rún mo chroí

rúnsearc = secret love a rúnsearc mo rúnsearc

síorghrá = eternal love a shíorghrá mo shíorghrá

fíorghrá = true love a fhíorghrá m'fhíorghrá

ceol mo chroí/mo shaoil = my heart's/my soul's music a cheoil mo chroí/mo shaoil

searc mo chléibh = light/love of my life a shearc mo chléibh

Every ✌️🏳️‍🌈💖queer vocab as gaeilge 💖🏳️‍🌈✌️ infographic I see has like aerach, maybe ait, and then the same list of terms that were directly translated from English by USI in like 2016. Cowards. Tell me the slurs.

#There's a serious conversation to be had about how terms for queer experiences can't be clearly translated across cultural and linguistic #Boundaries. B/c like. How does each culture define gender transgression?#What's a deviant sexuality? It depends on what the culture defines as normal #And EXTREMELY IMPORTANTLY FOR PPL WRITING THESE VOCAB LISTS #just importing English terms makes it seem like queerness is foreign and like. That Ireland didn't have queers #Until the Brits told us what bisexual and transgender were #So while I understand ppls discomfort with inclusing slurs. Well. They're proof that we've always been here.#I'm infinitely interested in the fact that dyke I.e. pejorative term for lesbian is the same as the verb to complain #That at least one person I know got called 'pale/white boy' growing up. Like that was how kids would call each other gay insultingly #And that 'queer ' is best embodied by words meaning strange and crooked #I want to know what queer Irish speakers called themselves!! I want to know how they were understood by their communities #Even when it was negative !#I wanna know all the slurs and idioms and double entendres. Idc about leispiach #Unless! That was a term that was used! In that case i want to know the hows and wheres very badly pls!!!#queer tag #irish language #An ghaeilge #gaeilge #Irish shit #Gotta say trasinscneach is adorable tho :-) tras!

my irish after a little under a year of study is at a point where Most of the time as i listen to raidió na gaeltachta, i can only follow the very broadest strokes of what’s being talked about - like, news recaps i can identify Who and What Topic is being mentioned, general discussions i can identify The Basic Topic This Discussion Is About, music i can identify the general vibes of whether this is a relationship/farming/sailing/anti-imperialism song, etc

except that there are times when rafi will see me light up & be like “what are they talking about?” and the answer is “oh they’re talking about language preservation inside and outside the gaeltacht and the role of parents versus schools and whether it’s feasible or practical to open more gaelscoileanna when almost every workplace uses english exclusively and-”

imagine if i actually learned common vocabulary like a normal fckn person instead of. just. hyperfixating on all the vocab related to one extremely specific niche of extremely specific political discourse in a country i do not live in

#also i have not studied enough over these past few months #i've kept the vocab i know fresh & maintained my duolingo streak but #haven't practiced tougher stuff like preposition conjugation and the tuiaseal ginideach enough #which has made me rusty. i need to think too much when formulating sentences #i credit the radio almost entirely with being the reason i can still understand well enough #even when i don't know vocab definitions (which is most of the time) i can at LEAST transcribe phonemes #but oh god. if i'd kept at the same pace i used in my first two months i'd be done with the duolingo course by now #kitkat learns gaeilge

things that have helped me make progress with irish lately:

attending a conversation group regularly where i'm forced to cobble together grammatically incorrect sentences and therefore learn how to make less incorrect ones, in real time, without spending five minutes teanglanning everything

reading books without looking up every word i don't know, using context and guesswork and breaking down words into their constituent parts to puzzle them out but otherwise not letting any single sentence delay me too long -- if i don't understand it, i charge ahead and often the next sentence clarifies it anyway, building my confidence and helping me recognise more unfamiliar sentence structures

complaining about shit in irish on my sideblog that has like 5 followers, which takes away the anxiety of "but i have to get it RIGHT" and makes me think about how to re-word a sentence if i don't know the structure i wanted, so i can use simple phrases to say more complicated things

the general theme here is: stop agonising over correctness and be willing to make mistakes; stop looking up every single thing and get creative talking around a word or grammatical construct i don't know instead; use the language instead of just studying the language

#what hasn't helped: endless vocab lists #honestly they HAVE been useful in the past but i think i hit the point where the words are not the problem #putting them together is the problem #irish #gaeilge

Is there a good resource for learning the welsh alphabet and grammar rules? I'm struggling with Welsh (Gaelic and Gaeilge too, if you have any resources). I'm USian and not incredibly familiar with the cultures, so I do NOT want to find some foreign asshole who tries to be an expert on the subject despite never learning WHY knowing the history matters. I'd very much appreciate it if you could, otherwise it's alright!

This is now an archived page from the BBC, but I think it's not bad for giving a good resource for grammar. There's also this page from Learn Welsh, which has both grammar and vocab.

As for the alphabet, here is a fun children's one that I like:

Never trust a Welsh alphabet that claims there's no J. We nicked J off the English and they can't have it back.

And thank you so much for learning!

Hii! I saw you reblogged a post talking abt learning irish etc and how more people should include irish wprds and stuff in their daily lives etcc. I was just wondering if you knew of any ways of getting into actually learning irish. Ive tried duolingo but they kind of stopped offering support for smaller languages etc and most other language learning apps either suck or dont include irish at all.. any suggestions?

Thank you for the ask anon, I'd be happy to help! Here are some things that helped me:

Use Irish language stickers you can put on objects around your house. I used to have some German ones when I was in school and it really helped to see some common vocab in places I'd be every day. (All links will be included below!)

Take online classes (or in-person classes if possible). You can also find some videos on YouTube that are sometimes just as good.

Keep a notebook. Use it to write down anything you learn so you can revise it later. I find it helps to look over it just before you go to bed so it's easier to remember in the morning.

Talk to native speakers if at all possible. Irish isn't really spoken a lot outside of Ireland (and barely spoken outside the Gaeltacht areas these days) so you may benefit from finding them on the internet. It can be a good opportunity to meet new friends as well as brush up on your Irish.

Watch TV shows and movies in Irish. They are easiest to find on TG4, which has a lot of well known TV shows dubbed in Irish. There are also some you can find on YouTube which are on the Junior/Leaving Cert such as Yu Ming is Ainm Dom and Cáca Milis.

Try out some printable Irish language worksheets you can find on websites such as Twinkl. You can also get past exam papers on Studyclix and Examinations.ie, though these may be a bit advanced for a beginner.

I hope you found these tips useful! Ádh mór!
