The Thread of BREXIT

[Scot Dutchy]

What about this?: English will not be an official EU language after Brexit, says senior MEP

Ireland would have to change language. Gaelic is an official Irish government language but to make Gaelic an official EU language maybe just going too far.

Gaelic is already Ireland's Official EU language, up to now, it just waived its right to have every Euro thing translated to Gaelic in favour of English out of convenience, but now that English is about to lose that status, it might just have to hire a big fat lot of Gaelic linguists just to satisfy the niceties of regulations....

If Scotland joins the EU, they could choose English as their official language.

Or maybe London can leave England, join the EU and bring English as an official language.

Or maybe London, Cambridge and all other of the major cities that voted Remain, leave England and join the EU.

The Scots woudna choose Englis, they wud choose Braid Scots

As for the big cities separating from the countryside, I only wish to see that and many lols would ensue

There was an ad in the Irish papers a couple of months ago looking for 850 Gaelic speakers for the EU.

I just wonder who will ever read all these Gaelic documents, as I guess the MEPs and civil servants all prefer English anyway

Maybe the auld folks just want to be peasants again? Shit was simpler...

[Svartalf]

Man, being a peasant is high tech, complicated stuff nowadays

There are plenty snobby Gaels who would love to read it. The problem with Gaelic is that Irish and Scots Gaelic are different written.

English may not be a EU language at some point but is will still be the corporate language everywhere and this has to do with the US. So what the heck or feck now?

it's not just a matter of spelling, plenty of vocabulary variances too, and I don't know about grammar... but I don't think even an Ulster Gaelic speaker can still understand a Scottish Gaelic speaker
