Connections with a language community can be a more important factor than linguistic ability in identifying as a #newspeaker of Gaelic in Nova Scotia. Ties in the heritage speakers mentioned by @MichelleMacleo4 and Marsaili MacLeod in their talk. @COSTNewSpeakers @Dun_Mor

Not so in Nova Scotia - quite literally a badge of identity for some!

[Michael Hornsby @MichaelWHornsby]

@Dun_Mor discusses #newspeaker motivations for becoming a Gaelic speaker in Nova Scotia. Does a sense of ‘rootedness’ facilitate successful integration? @CelticSoSym @COSTNewSpeakers

An tOllamh @Ifearnanach @GaeilgeOEG ag tabhairt an tseisiúin seo chun críche: 'Identifying meaningful linguistic groups for planning initiatives in "weaker" Gaeltacht areas'

[Michael Hornsby @MichaelWHornsby]

@Ifearnanach shows how reported ability in Irish in Múscraí is overtaken by reported usage of the language @CelticSoSym #CeltSoSym

[Celtic SoSym @CelticSoSym]

Different target audiences.

[Celtic SoSym @CelticSoSym]

@Ifearnanach identifies 2 groups in the weaker Gaeltacht areas. Core Irish speaking group and monolingual Irish speakers - each with specific and very different planning needs.

@KarolkaRk cites work by the head of @bmpoznan1, Prof. Katarzyna Dziubalska-Kołaczyk, in her presentation on Polish engagement with The Welsh language in Aberystwyth @CelticSoSym #CeltSoSym

[Celtic SoSym @CelticSoSym]

Data suggests high levels of attachment to Breton amongst speakers and non-speakers alike. A badge of identity, perhaps.

[Celtic SoSym @CelticSoSym]

Stefan Moal begins this afternoon's session with a discussion on the very latest sociolinguistic survey (2018) in Brittany.

[Celtic SoSym @CelticSoSym]

1 in 3 express a desire to know Breton. Surprisingly consistent across Upper and Lower Brittany.
