What is the importance of the Irish language for national identity?

Many aspects of Irish culture; Irish dance, music, and language were banned by the English along with Catholicism during Irish history. All the towns, counties, and provinces in Ireland were given anglicized names. When Ireland regained its independence, it reincorporated the Irish language back into the culture. Irish is also not a completely dead language, it is not like Latin. There are areas in the country which are predominately Irish speaking and RTE has many television programmes in Irish. All signs have both the Irish and the English versions of names. Learning Irish is needed to pass secondary school. Irish is also a main part of slang: Póg mo thóin=Kiss my butt. What's the craic?=What's going on? What's up? The majority of Irish placenames, family names, and many given names are from the Irish language.

What was the native language of the Irish people?

The primary, and most commonly used language in Ireland is English, but the Irish language is taught in schools, from primary level (elementary level) right up until graduation from secondary (high) school and is generally mandatory. Both English and Irish are the official languages of Ireland. All official EU (European Union) papers and documents are translated into Irish, in addition to all other languages of the EU. There are areas in Ireland called Gaeltachts (the word Gaeltacht means Irish-speaking region or district), where Irish is spoken as the primary language, but these are tiny pockets and usually in rural areas. The purpose of these Gaeltachts are to reinforce and increase the use of the Irish language (and culture) and a comeback of sorts is happening in small areas not considered traditional Gaeltachts (including Dublin City). However, the population of Ireland who speak Irish as their primary language remains at about 2%. While many non-Irish people refer to the Irish language as Gaelic, it's commonly referred to as "Irish", not Gaelic. For example, one would say "do you speak Irish?" and not "do you speak Gaelic?".
