The Irish Times, referring to his analysis published in the Irish language newspaper , quoted him as follows: "It is an absolute indictment of successive Irish Governments that at the foundation of the Irish State there were 250,000 fluent Irish speakers living in Irish-speaking or semi Irish-speaking areas, but the number now is between 20,000 and 30,000."

Irish has both decimal and vigesimal systems:

10: 

20: 

30: vigesimal – ; decimal – 

40: v. ; d. 

50: v. ; d.  (also:  "half-hundred")

60: v. ; d. 

70: v. ; d. 

80: v. ; d. 

90: v. ; d. 

100: v. ; d. 

A number such as 35 has various forms:

 "15 and 20"

 "5 and 30"

 "15 on 20"

 "5 on 30"

 "15 of 20 (genitive)"

 "5 of 30 (genitive)"

 "20 and 15"

 "30 and 5"

The latter is most commonly used in mathematics.

Initial mutations

In Irish, there are two classes of initial consonant mutations, which express grammatical relationship and meaning in verbs, nouns and adjectives:

 Lenition () describes the change of stops into fricatives. Indicated in Gaelic type by an overdot (), it is shown in Roman type by adding an .
  "throw!" –  "I threw" (lenition as a past-tense marker, caused by the particle , now generally omitted)
  "requirement" –  "lack of the requirement" (lenition marking the genitive case of a masculine noun)
  "John" –  "John!" (lenition as part of the vocative case, the vocative lenition being triggered by , the vocative marker before )
 Eclipsis () covers the voicing of voiceless stops, and nasalisation of voiced stops.
  "Father" –  "our Father"
  "start",  "at the start"
  "Galway" –  "in Galway"

Mutations are often the only way to distinguish grammatical forms. For example, the only non-contextual way to distinguish possessive pronouns "her", "his" and "their", is through initial mutations since all meanings are represented by the same word .

 his shoe –  (lenition)
 their shoe –  (eclipsis)
 her shoe –  (unchanged)

Due to initial mutation, prefixes, clitics, suffixes, root inflection, ending morphology, elision, sandhi, epenthesis, and assimilation; the beginning, core, and end of words can each change radically and even simultaneously depending on context.

 Rubutun Rubutu 


A native writing system, Ogham, was used to write Primitive Irish and Old Irish until Latin script was introduced in the 5th century CE. Since the introduction of Latin script, the main typeface used to write Irish was Gaelic type until it was replaced by Roman type during the mid-20th century.

The traditional Irish alphabet () consists of 18 letters: ; it does not contain . However contemporary Irish uses the full Latin alphabet, with the previously unused letter used in modern loanwords;  occurs in a small number of (mainly onomatopoeic) native words and colloquialisms.

Vowels may be accented with an acute accent (; Irish and Hiberno-English:  "long (sign)"), but it is ignored for purposes of alphabetisation. It is used, among other conventions, to mark long vowels, e.g.  is  and  is .

The overdot ( "dot of lenition") was used in traditional orthography to indicate lenition; An Caighdeán uses a following  for this purpose, i.e. the dotted letters ( "struck letters")  are equivalent to .

The use of Gaelic type and the overdot today is restricted to when a traditional style is consciously being used, e.g.  on the Irish Defence Forces cap badge (see above). Extending the use of the overdot to Roman type would theoretically have the advantage of making Irish texts significantly shorter, e.g.  "you (pl.) will get" would become .
