Meitheamh 2008 /
June 2008
Ag céiliúradh
130 bliain do Chumann Carad na Gaeilge Nua-Eabhraic 2
Meitheamh 2008!
Celebrating 130 Years of The New
York Philo-Celtic Society on June 2, 2008! |

Cad a
tharla i mBealtaine?
A lán. |
|
What
happened In May?
Plenty. |

Cad a tharla ag an gcomhdháil
idirnáisiúnta 'Fís Ghaeilge Mheiriceá Thuaidh'?
Ag tús na bliana seo, tháinig Daragh Ó Tuama go
Nua-Eabhrac mar ionadaí Ghlór na nGael, chun tionscadal
a phlé liomsa, mar chathaoirleach ar Chumann Carad na
Gaeilge, agus le Gearóid Ó Ceallaigh, iar-chathaoirleach.
Comhdháil na Gaeilge i Nua-Eabhrac a bhí á pleanáil
againn. As comhráite ar an idirlíon agus an cruinniú
sin a d’éirigh plean maith, agus rinne Glór na nGael na
socruithe agus thosaíomar ar an bhfógraíocht. Eachtra
stairiúil a bheadh ann, cinnte, agus tús nua a
chuirfeadh le comhoibriú fórsaí ar an dá thaobh den
Atlantach.

|
|
What
happened at the international conference 'A Vision for
the Irish Language in
North America'?
At the
beginning of this year, Daragh Ó Tuama, a representative
of Glór na nGael, came to New York to discuss a
project with me, as Chairperson of Cumann Carad na
Gaeilge, and with Jerry Kelly as past Chairperson.
We planned to have an Irish language Conference
in New York.
As a result of this meeting and dialogue on the
internet, a plan was developed. Glór na nGael made the
arrangements and we started publicizing it. It would
certainly be a historic event and a new beginning of
co-operation between forces on both sides of the Atlantic.

A Treasure Found - New York Philo-Celtic Society
Documents from 1878!
The first meeting of New York Philo-Celtic in 1878!
We are very pleased to
report that members of The New York Philo-Celtic Society
(part of The Philo-Celtic Society) kept these documents
safe and sound over the years. They are now in the
hands of our Chairman, Séamas Ó Neachtain, on Long
Island, New York. Some of these documents are from
the 19th century, including minutes of the very first
meeting of The New York Philo-Celtic Society. That
happened on June 2, 2008, exactly 130 years before this
writing today! Many thanks to Junior McKinney and
his generous wife Molly who kept this treasure for us
for so long.
To see more, go to
The Big Box.

Tá
Cumann Carad na Gaeilge Nua-Eabhraic 130 bliain d'aois
an mhí seo!
Bunaíodh Cumann Carad na Gaeilge Nua-Eabhraic 2
Meitheamh 1878 i Manhattan.
Is cuid
de Chumann Carad na Gaeilge é, a thosaigh i mBrúiclinn i
1872 le múineadh na Gaeilge.
Agus
cad a rinne ár gcairde i Nua-Eabhrac chun cothrom an lae
a chéiliúradh an bhliain seo? Bhuel,
mar is
nós dóibh,
agus
b'fhéidir nach ionadh é seo d'éinne, d'oibrigh siad ar
thacaíocht, neartú, chothú, chleachtadh,
chraobhscaoileadh, fhairsingiú, agus mhúineadh na
Gaeilge.
Comhghairdeachas libh, a chairde!

The New York Philo-Celtic Society is 130 years old this
month!
The New
York Philo-Celtic Society was founded in Manhattan on
June 2, 1878. It's
part of
The Philo-Celtic Society, which began in Brooklyn in
1872 with teaching of the Irish language.
And
what did our friends in New York do to celebrate the
anniversary this year? Well,
as is
their custom,
and
maybe this isn't a surprise to anyone, they worked on
supporting, strengthening, encouraging, using,
broadcasting, expanding, and teaching the Irish
language.
Congratulations, a chairde!

i Londain gach uile lá, bíodh an Ghaeilge ina measc.

Jeffers sends this invitation to all of you:
If you live near to London, England ... would you like

some fun anyway. There are plenty of us living here in
London and we should get together to practice our
Irish. Let's not be shy! Polish, French and all sorts
of other languages are to be heard in London every
single day, let's add Irish to the mix.

Tá aerlíne ag maoímh gurb
iad an chéad aerlíne sa domhain suíomh idirlín
trítheangach a sheoladh as Sacsbhéarla, Gaeilge na
hAlban, agus Breatnais. Dúirt Highland Airways go
dtugann a suíomh nua deis do chustaiméirí breise a
chlárú ar líne ina dteangacha féin. (Nach ndéanann sé
sin ciall ó thaobh gnó?) Téigh go

Highland Airways
Our member Daithí Mac
Lochlainn sent this in to us. Thank you, Daithí!
An airline is
claiming that they are the first in the world to launch
a tri-lingual internet website in English, Scottish
Gaelic and Welsh. Highland Airways said that their new
site gives additional customers the opportunity to
register on line in their own languages. (Doesn't that
make sense from a business point of view?) Go to
www.highlandairways.co.uk to
use their website.

idirnáisiúnta á cur amach saor in aisce le roinnt

a bhriathair, foilsíonn sé "An Lúibín"

leabhair chun an focal cuí a aimsiú! Ach níl sé saor in aisce. Tá sé ar fáil

to be on the computer and not compelled to go
searching through a
book to find the right answer! But it's not free. It's available
in Irish language shops with a typical price of
about €25.00. Go to

"Chonaic mé an nasc a
leanas san Irish Times.... Tá ceachtanna Gaeilge ar
shuíomh Ollscoil na hÉireann, Má Nuad bunaithe ar chláir
nuachta ó TG4. I ngach ceacht, tá tuairisc nuachta le
feiceáil agus ceisteanna le freagairt ar an tuairisc.
Bíonn na ceachtanna ag trí leibhéil... Ag deireadh gach
ceachta bíonn téacs an scéil scríofa amach (i nGaeilge
amháin). Ceapaim gur féidir libh an-fheidhm a bhaint as
an áis nua seo chun bhur gcuid Gaeilge a fheabhsú."

This report is in from Shanti
Hofshi in San Diego and Máire Mhic an Phríora in Dublin. Thank you
both, a chairde!
"I saw the following link in this month's Irish Times. There are Irish
language lessons on
the website of the University of Ireland, Maynooth, based on
news programs from TG4. In every lesson, there is
a news report to watch and questions to answer about the report.
The lessons are at three levels... At the end of each lesson the text of
the story is written out (in Irish only). I think that you
can make great use of this new resource in order to improve your
Irish." See

Léirmheas: Féin-teagasc go hÉasca Péasca ar líne
Tá a
lán suíomhanna ar an idirlíon anois ag tabhairt cabhrach d'fhoghlaimeoirí.
Is ceann acu é Éasca Péasca. Bíonn a
dhéanmhas soiléir agus furasta a leanúint. Bíonn a
chomhaid fuaime glan agus so-chloiste. Aon am nach
n-oibríonn cnap "Seinn/Play," is féidir leat an comhad a
íoslódáil chuig do ríomhaire chun é a chloisteáil ar aon
chuma ar do thoil. I mo bharúil féin, áfach, sílim go bhfuil an suíomh oiriúnach do

Review: Easy Peasy Self-Teaching on-line
There are lots of
websites now on the internet giving help to beginners.
Éasca Péasca ('Easy Peasy') is one of them. Its
structure is completely clear and easy to follow. Its sound
files are clean and easy to hear. Any time that a
"Play" button doesn't work, you can download the file to
your computer to hear it anyway whenever you want. In
my own opinion,
however, I think that the site is suitable for intermediate
learners and people who are coming back to the language,
but it is not suitable for learners who are at the beginning level.
With that said, I think that this is an excellent tool.
To use this website, go

Focal ó
An Gael
Mionteanga?
Bhí mé ag léamh
caipéisí éagsúla as
Gaeilge ón Eoraip le déanaí agus thug mé
faoi deara go tugtar an teideal 'mionteanga' ar
Ghaeilge. Mion? Mionsamhail? Beag
bídeach? Cúpla focal, cúpla leabhar, agus sin
é? Cathain a tharla sé sin?
Is fíor donár mball Labhras Wilson go
n-aistrítear 'mionteanga' go Sacsbhéarla mar
'minority language,' agus mar sin ní dhéanann an
teidil sin aon dochar i measc na ngall. Ach
fós, mar ár mball Marelyn Maille, "Níl mé sásta
leis an lipéad sin do Ghaeilge." Agus mar
Shéamas Ó Neachtain, aontaím lenár mball Muiris
Mac Ualghairg nuair a scríobhann sé "Is fearr
liom féin 'teanga neamhfhorleathan' mar ní
'mionteanga' teanga ar bith!"
Mar ár gcara Proinsias 'an Cláiríneach,'
breathnaím ar mhílte bliain de Gaeilge lán le
filidheacht agus filíocht, ard-scéalaidheacht
agus scéalaíocht, bárdaidheacht agus crosántacht,
seanchas, dinnseanchas, fiannaidheacht, stair,
ginealach, dlí, amhránaíocht, caoineadh, léann
eaglasta, béaloideas, agus gach chaoi eile chun
ealaín labhartha nó scríofa a dhéanamh, agus
caithfidh mé a rá nach bhfuil 'mionteanga' maith
go leor do Ghaeilge.
Molann ár gcara
Proinsias an Cláiríneach "Teanga mhór, faoi
cheilt, ag na Ceiltigh!!!" Nach fíor do
Phroinsias faoi sin? Agus nach é "faoi cheilt"
an rud díreach a bhfuilimid ag athrú gach lá?
Agus do chaipéisí i rialtas na hEorpa agus na
Gaeil á scríobh, b'fhéidir gur féidir leo
scríobh rud éigin mar 'mórtheanga
neamhfhorleathan.' Nó, má tá sé sin ró-bhláthach, ba
chóir dóibh ar a laghad glacadh le moladh beacht
Shéamais Uí Neachtain: 'teanga mhionlaigh.'
(Leis sin a chuirfeadh Proinsias an Cláiríneach
"ar a slí ar ais.")

A Word
from An Gael
Mionteanga?
I
was reading some documents in Irish from Europe
recently and I noticed that the title 'mionteanga'
is given to Irish. Mini-? Miniature? Small
tiny? A couple of words, a couple of books,
and that's it. When did that happen?
Our member Larry Wilson is right when he says that
'mionteanga' is translated to English as 'minority
language,' and so
it doesn't do any harm amongst foreign
language-speakers. And yet, like our member
Marelyn Maille, "I'm not satisfied with that label
for Irish." And like Séamas Ó Neachtain, I
agree with our member Muiris Mac Ualghairg when he
writes "I myself prefer 'a language not widely used'
since a 'miniature language' is no language at all!"
Like our friend Proinsias 'an Cláiríneach,' I look
at thousands of years of the Irish language full of
prophet-poetry and modern poetry, epic storytelling
and modern storytelling, praise-poetry and satire,
traditional lore, chanted geography, Fenian lays,
history, genealogy, law, our song tradition,
laments, ecclesiastical learning, folklore, and
every other way spoken and written art can be made,
and I have to say that 'miniature language' just
isn't good enough for Irish.
Our friend Proinsias an Cláiríneach suggests "A
great language, hidden, belonging to the Celts."
Isn't Proinsias right about that? And isn't
"hidden" exactly the thing we're changing every day?
And for documents in the European government, and
the Gaeil who are writing them, perhaps they can
write something like 'a great language not widely
used.' Or, if that's too flowery, they should
at least accept Séamas Ó Neachtain's suggestion:
'a language of a minority.' (To which
Proinsias an Cláiríneach would add "on its way
back.")
