Irish, Welsh and Scottish Gaelic speakers, I need your help! 🇮🇪🏴🏴
For a piece of academic writing I am working on right now, I was wondering if in the context of those three languages, you have positive or negative examples of:
1) The presence of non-standard dialects digitally or in the media (any content creator you know, any regular speakers on the radio that actively uses a non-standard dialect, or on the contrary, you only encounter standard Irish/Welsh/Gaelic. If you have any example of non-standard writing too, for example in the printed press, I am all ears)
2) Do you speak and/or write a non-standard dialect and have been looked down upon for it by other speakers? If yes what dialect and in what context
3) What do you think about purification practices in which loan-words from English are replaced by new words? Which words do you use? If you study the language formally, which are taught to you?
Thank you, and please reblog!
