I’m thinking Borris should Ban the speaking of Welsh for a year or so
All that spitting ain’t good for Covid safety is it?
Is Gaelic the same? I don’t suppose many speak it though do they ?

Hardly anyone speaks it JTC, although it is strong on the Western Isles.  Other places like Skye will speak it to an extent.

I'm all for it existing and flourishing, but the attempts of the SNP to market it as the language of Scotland are utterly disingenuous.  It has never been widely spoken in most of Scotland.  It is basically the language of the Gaels, who only make up a small part of Scotland.

You've now got them inventing new Gaelic place names in parts of Scotland with no historical connection to Gaelic, just so they can put it on a sign.

....just like Oirland.

I’m in favour too if it’s a language that has been around for many moons
I’m all for the Welsh speaking their language too
It’s the over egging of it’s prominence that gets me .
The good folk of south west Scotland didn’t seem too interested in speaking Gaelic I have to say. No signs either. Tbf when I was in some of the shops it was like been in England as a lot of the workers were from south of Gretna
