@Cal_III Finally, someone sticking up for Northern Ireland 🇬🇧

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@TheEvilGenius3 @Cal_III But the people of Northern Ireland are ethnically British - Ulster Scots.

Different from the southern Irish

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@RawWarBro @Cal_III The correct term is Ulster-Scots.

But you can refer to them as Northern Irish. That’s where they live.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@Number10cat @Cal_III Northern Irelanders (correct name Ulster Scots) are native to northern Britain. Lowland Scotland and English Marches. Northumbria etc.

Scandalously called Irish in popular culture.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@NotesfromNorth @Hylandpaddy98 @cattycow384 @ScotForUnity Lowlanders are largely Germanic. So Germanic that highlanders called them “sassenach” meaning Englishmen.

@45johnferguson @CiarnFerg @fosandair The inhabitants of Galloway were Britons. Gaelic was an adopted language for them. Around the 10th century. Then died off in the 14th.

Sorry to break it to you. But they were not Gaels.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@oisi67737 @CiarnFerg @fosandair English was the language of the Galloway elites and some settlements. Before Gaelic arrived.

Is exactly the point I was making.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@CiarnFerg @fosandair No, the people were racial Britons primarily with large Anglo input.

I include Anglo and not Gaelic because I know there was large English settlement in Galloway.

The Gaels never settled Galloway or broader SW Scotland. So they can’t be Gaels.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@oisi67737 @CiarnFerg @fosandair Just wrong.

English was spoken in Galloway before Gaelic.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@WASPZoomer I will forever mourn the loss of White Anglo America.

The men of the Alamo. 🇺🇸

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@oisi67737 @CiarnFerg @fosandair The native language was Cumbric (ancient British), then English.

Gaelic, a newcomer, didn’t arrive until around the 10th century.

English resumed dominance again in the 15th century. Until now

Gaelic was an in between language, the least native and died off.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@WakeUpWales777 Well Northern-irish can. Because they’re ethnically Ulster Scots.

But southern Irish are a different nation.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@CiarnFerg @fosandair English and British were both spoken in Galloway before Gaelic. English then resumed in the 14th century until to this day.

Racially speaking, we know the inhabitants of Galloway were Britons. With some Anglo input.

Characterising these people as Gaels, simply isn’t accurate.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@CiarnFerg @fosandair It didn’t have a strong Gaelic influence. They were Britons. Different race.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@CiarnFerg @fosandair The Western lowlands was Strathclyde. Who were Britons. Not Gaels.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@BeattieDoug Doug, I hope you are joking and not actually ignorant to the fact that the Anglo ascednency were the conquerors of Ireland.

Racially and culturally distinct from the Irish.

And eventually driven out of Southern Ireland by sinn-feiners.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@Yuzniylover @fosandair They come from the lowlands and borders, which are not Gaelic areas.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@ButeHeathen @ScotForUnity Anglo enough for Scots to be a Germanic language. Auld, old etc.

[Door Hinge @DoorHinge167]

@Wass2020 Because the original inhabitants of Scotland were the ancient Britons (Picts).
