In Irish Gaelic numbers, symbols are used to represent the digits 1 to 9. These symbols are called Ogham letters, which are ancient Celtic characters that were traditionally used for writing and divination. Each Ogham letter corresponds to a specific number, and they are still used in modern Irish Gaelic for numbering and counting.

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?".
