Wikipedia wrote:Irish (Gaeilge) is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family, originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish. Irish is now spoken natively by a minority of the Irish population – mostly in Gaeltachtaí (sing. Gaeltacht) – but also plays an important symbolic role in the life of the Irish state. It enjoys constitutional status as the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland and it is an official language of the European Union. Irish is also an officially recognised minority language in Northern Ireland.

If there's an accent I hate more than the Irish it's the Manchester accent often heard in Coronation Street, I'm sorry.

I don't like the Manchester accent either, but I can't say I prefer Irish. Anyway, I'm not a soaps person. ^^

I can speak Dutch and English fluently, since Dutch is my native language, and English is my secondary one, which I use mostly on forums.
I know a bit German, but it's hard to formulate sentences.
I know also a few words of Japanese, and I'd like to learn the Klingon language... xD

It's good to have a Dutch member here again. We haven't had one for quite some time now.

You can speak Japanese? Awesome. Sounds like a damn hard language to learn if you ask me.

Oh, it is. Even with Rosetta Stone, it's quite a challenge.

Can you write Japanese too? It looks as difficult as speaking it...

I can write some Japanese, but I'm mostly good at speaking it.
