"A common cultural feature of the current Irish and the historical British rule is found in indifference about the societal viability of Irish." Full text below for Irish Times article 13.3.26: https://t.co/Kd0nsIlEEQ #Gaeilge #Gaeltacht #GaelicCrisis #Gaelic @ThinkUHI #MinLang

"The State’s perspective on the Irish language and its speakers has become indistinguishable from that of British colonial rule" Our thanks to @IrishTimes for publishing our Op-Ed today #Gaeilge #Gaeltacht #Gaelic #GaelicCrisis #Colonialism @ThinkUHI https://t.co/2GPg8KXDF0

@UK_CAA what are the rules on airlines cancelling a ticket because they have oversold? I have been kicked off a flight and not offered alternative flight options, only a refund or a credit which at this point will not be sufficient to purchase another ticket.

[Áine Uí Ghiollagáin @Aineuig]

@VueHelp I am having trouble booking on the mobile and then the website. I was able to book tickets finally but they came back on the wrong day. The website won't let me set up an account to manage them either.

Is demolinguistic size sufficient to protect against minority-language endangerment? Looking forward to hearing #Catalan perspectives on the social dynamics of our #LanDS framework for Ethnolinguistic Vitality https://t.co/oDEoCnaW2Y #MinLang

@FlixBus What is the best email/telephone for rebooking a cancelled service in the UK? The app is spinning until the session times out

"The line of least resistance formulated by State officials means that majority English speakers can remain in their comfort zone of retaining Irish as a cultural symbol and letting the #Gaeltacht die through a form of bureaucratic palliative care" https://t.co/wVf0oDEcJp #Irish

As predicted in #GaelicCrisis analysis in 2020 (pg. 72), % of Gaelic speakers in #WesternIsles has fallen to 45% of pop. as in #census2022. One result of 4 years of not facing reality. #LanguageDeath in #Gaelic vernacular communities. Open access edition https://t.co/hmGc1s4mZ8

'It is insufficient, however, to protect #Gaelic as a community language of native speakers, and against their social and cultural assimilation into English-speaking society’ 2/2 #ScottishLanguagesBill @SP_ECYP @ScotGovGaidhlig @ParlAlba In @Sygazette #GaelicCrisis

[Conchúr Ó Giollagáin @ConchurOG]

In @Sygazette Gaelic is being held back by an institutional “cosy-ocracy” https://t.co/gGDCPuBekw "The core problem with the official framework for Gaelic affairs is that it has pursued this civic promotion without prioritising the societal protection of the vernacular community"
