Ireland. A Gaeltacht is an area in Ireland where the Irish language is the main language spoken. There are a number of Gaeltacht areas in Ireland, mostly in the west of Ireland.
The official language of Ireland is Gaeilge (Irish). Which is mostly spoken in the Gaeltacht areas of Ireland. But most of the people speak Béarla (English).
There are variations of Gaelic spoken in Ireland and Scotland. In both countries English in the dominant language and Gaelic is only the first language for a small percentage of people. In Ireland for example, it is mainly in areas of the west of Ireland, each known as a Gaeltacht, that it is spoken as the first language by people. People from other parts of Ireland visit them to learn it by speaking it.
No. The Irish language is not dead. It is dieing in gaeltacht areas, but is mainly alive in Gaelscoils.
Mostly people in Gaeltacht areas speak Irish, particularly in the West, Southwest and Northwest of Ireland, such as Connemara in Co. Galway, Dingle in Co. Kerry and Gweedore in Donegal. However there are many Irish-speaking schools in mostly English-speaking areas of Ireland (like Dublin), where Irish is spoken in school and English is spoken at home.
Permanent North American Gaeltacht was created on 2007-06-16.
the gaeltacht is a district in Ireland where only Irish is spoken. mainly the west of Ireland (connemera). you stay in the gaeltacht for 3 weeks. when you're there you have to speak Irish. it's ok if you say one or two words in English. but if you say maybe one or two sentences in English your name gets put down in a book along with what you said. if your name gets put down in the book three times you are sent home immediately. but it's not all bad. every night there is a ceili. a ceili is where everyone does Irish dancing. the scolairi (students) are taught Irish dancing and there is GREAT craic! everyday there is classes in the morning until the afternoon. when the classes are over the students do activities. Eg., water sports, hanging out at the beach, Gaelic football, hurling, etc. the gaeltacht is great craic and no-one should dread going. it's the best part of your summer! enjoy the gaeltacht!
