Tesco kaj an Kimralingvo

...de icWales:

“On Thursday, members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will protest outside the Tesco store in Mold and then march to the National Eisteddfod, a mile from the town centre, carrying what they regard as evidence of a “token policy” for recognising Welsh...

...But Tesco says it is a strong supporter of Welsh and already has bilingual in-store announcements at some of its supermarkets.”

Charles Fanning

...de la Southern Illinoisan:

“Charles Fanning's career began with the resurrection of a straight-talking barkeep and has ended with ...well, the career of one of the country's most-respected Irish scholars doesn't really end…

…An Irish language instructor will be coming to Carbondale in the fall, he said, which will be a tremendous boost for the program. Fanning would like to see an Irish historian round out the group.”

...de la Irish Independent:

“The father of a young Russian pupil fighting to have her taught in English at her school in the Gaeltacht, has started a case with the Equality Tribunal.

John Ferriter has also claimed that parents of Irish children attending the same school are too intimidated to support him, saying he is battling the 'Irish-language Taliban'...

Irlandalingvo en Nord-Irlando

...de Ulster TV:

“There is a possibility that an Irish Language Act will not be brought before Stormont ministers and the Assembly, Culture Minister Edwin Poots said today.

After he met a Sinn Fein delegation headed by Gerry Adams, who lobbied for the legislation to protect Irish speakers` rights in Northern Ireland, Mr Poots said he and his officials would have to study responses to a consultation on the Act and a cost benefit analysis before he could reach a decision in the autumn…”

Peter Quinn kaj TG4

...de la Sunday Business Post:

“Peter Quinn is expanding his business interests and, as the new chairman, he is also trying to plot a course ahead for TG4. Another of his projects is TG4, which has recently been separated from RTE...

...Quinn has been appointed chairman of the Irish language station and his experience as a financial adviser will no doubt bring a commercial edge to the public service broadcaster.

Quinn, who lives in Enniskillen, Co Fermanagh, said he always had an interest in TG4, although he is not a fluent Irish speaker like the other members of the station’s board.”

Keltalingvoj kaj Kultura Turismo

...de la Belfast Telegraph:

"Here we go again. Look, let's leave the age old political arguments aside. Why should we bother with the Irish language? Tourism, that's why.

We don't have any other industry worth talking about, nor will we, being situated on the outskirts of Europe, with other remote regions having jumped on the hi-tech bandwagon years ago, leaving the backward looking Northern Ireland politicians sitting on their clouds of self-indulgence...."

Libra Recenzo

...de Counter Punch:

"The efflorescence of Irish-American cultural studies which has taught us (referring to a couple of other books) how the Irish saved civilization or how the Irish became white, has now explained How the Irish Invented Slang: The Secret Language of the Crossroads (2007).

Cassidy’s entries are often little essays of social history expressed in caustic wit and erudition, similar to the work of those other people’s lexicographers of the San Francisco Bay, Iain Boal and Ambrose Bierce."

...de Le Soleil:

“Pour la deuxième année, les gens de la capitale pourront partir à la découverte de la culture celtique, du 31 août au 2 septembre.

Gaelalingvo je Limo

...de Lá Nua:

“Ní chríochnaíonn an Ghaeilge ag an teorainn.

B'shin an dúshlán a thug urlabhraí Gaeilge an SDLP, Dominic Ó Brolcháin, don Aire Forbartha Reigiúnaí ó thuaidh tar éis gur osclaíodh an sciar is déanaí den mhótarbhealach idir Baile Atha Cliath agus Béal Feirste ar chostas E154m.

Mhaoinigh an dá roinn, thuaidh is theas, an tionscnamh.”

Gaela Atleta Asocio kaj la Lingvo

...de letero en la Irish Independent:

“Nowhere is the breathtaking hypocrisy of the Irish establishment towards the Gaelic language more apparent than on this English language only website of the so-called Gaelic Athletic Association.

This website sends a clear message to the young people of the Gaeltacht and Gaelscoileanna, ‘No Gaelic here’…”

Disputo Nuligata

...de la BBC:

“A radio debate about the Welsh language has been cancelled after all four panelists due to take part pulled out.

Baronet Sir Dai Llewellyn was to argue language promotion has gone too far in an episode of Radio 4's Hecklers being recorded in National Eisteddfod week.”

Bretnaj Alnomoj

...de Le Télégramme:

“Avez-vous déjà eu l’idée de jeter un petit coup d’œil sur les boîtes aux lettres de vos voisins ?

Non? C’est bien dommage.

Car c’est un excellent moyen de s’initier à la langue bretonne. Le but n’est pas d’espionner leur courrier, mais simplement de regarder leurs noms de famille...”
