context: Irish (Gaeilge) is the first official language in Ireland. Following the Stádas campaign of 2003-2004, the Irish Government also applied for the status of an official language in the European Union, which it was decided in June 2005 to grant it from 2007 onwards. Irish is a Celtic language and belongs to the so-called Q-Celtic or Gaelic (Gaelic) subgroup of Celtic languages ​​. The closest relatives of the Irish language are the Scottish Highland Gaelic (Scottish Gaelic) language and the Manx Gaelic (Gaelg or Çhengey-ny-Mairey) native to the Isle of Man, extinct in the 1970s but extinct by linguists. More distantly related are the Welsh (Wales) and the Breton spoken in Brittany, which belong to another subgroup of the Celtic language group, the British or P-Celtic languages. These are so different from Irish and other Gaelic languages ​​that, with the exception of fresh English loan words, for example, Welsh is a completely foreign and incomprehensible language.
