Dia daoibh a chairde! Conas atá do lá ag dul?

I think everybody who does drugs (legal or illegal) should be executed.

Ag bumpáil

hows the lads

...

If any of you live in:

Wexford, Mungonia, Drumanagh, Drummanakelly, Castle Manaan, Dumanan, Drummaniane, Drumman, Monaigh Ulad, Lismenan, Edamanay, Coolmannan, Monaila, Drummanneagh, Cordrummans, Monage, Ramanny, Drumanan, Munily, Tomany, Mullaghmonaghan, Dundrumman, Glasscrumman, Killyman, Camlokmannan, Carrowmannan, Moira, Menagh, Drummeen, Magherafeit, Drummance, Ballymena, Lisamanny, Taughmonagh...

congrats! You live in a village settled by Menapians (aka Manapii, Monapii, Monaghii), the ancestors of modern provincial Flemings, who were sea-faring Belgae.

This means you probably have some noble Belgian blood flowing through your veins.

dont believe you

your descended from us

Better customs than Mummy.

>Is tír álainn í, agus tá daoine galánta aici.
Irish people always brag about how they all know Irish. But do they, really?

Be honest now, Irish anons. How much do you actually speak Irish?

There's a few of us here with good Irish.
I'm one of them.

Really looking to learn more, know any good resources?

Nope. not at all.

1. The Fîr-Bolg (Belgae) were the first settlers of Ireland

2. The colonies of the Menapii (and the Chauci in one instance, a neighbouring tribe from the Netherlands) are well documented.

I also refer you to the book: Menapia Quest by Norman Mongan

Gaeltachtaí

Irish is the most useless language to learn, have fun being able to talk to people in a few remote places in ireland who also speak english

Does your mammy really check your post

Also it's in distinct silver packaging with stamps from birmingham on it so it'll definitely stick out

Why are you actually taking shite thought up by some clergy as real.

Also; Fermanagh, settled by the Managh people (Menapii)

Monaghia: the same

The Isle of Man (Monapia), and Anglesey (Mona, Môn);, along with the Welsh coast and part of Scotland: all settled by the noble Menapians, my ancestors

Even the Menapian haplogroup subclade is known (R1b-L21+-Z16340), originated in Belgium, now commonly found in Flanders and Ireland.

Easter Rising executions were justified, regardless of the following events

Mate, if you were to look into the matter, you'd see it is so.

Just look at a fucking map to see all the names refering to the Menapii, like I already quoted.

In Flanders the city of Menen was one of their main centers.

Along the Welsh coast there are an equal amount of references to Maenen, etc... Same for the Scottish Firth of Forth.

You may find such a thing unpleasant, but it is historical fact, and well supported.

Is it true that the Boyne is a river of memes?

Belgiums got heavily cucked by the Franks anyway, so we're the purest descendants 2bh

also:
>Ptolemy
>clergy

modern phylogenetic mapping already supports the fact, and will do moreso in the future.

So, my dear blood-relationship, allow me to add: WE WUZ SETTLERS OF IRELAND AND MANX AND SHITE

The first settlers of Ireland certainly weren't the bronze age "fir bolg" you cretin.

We really need to deanglicise placenames, they look fucking retarded with English spelling.

BEcause they were a part of the Frankish confederacy. A confederacy of local tribes from the Netherlands and Belgium that decided to unite against the Romans.

The Menapii were the only Celtic tribe of those conquered by Rome who never sent hostages to Rome to negotiate peace.

Their pig meat and wool clothing were famous even in Rome (exactly the same the later Flemings would be famous for in the Middle Ages).

It is true that the Menapii and Chauci sailed for Ireland and surroundings because they disliked the Romans.

But they remained under this name a tribe in Belgium for 800 years after Caesar until merging with the local Germanics to become the Flemings of today.

Carausius the Menapian was the first emperor of Britain, he was a usurper who claimed the Roman crown and was quite succesfull. Coins are still found often.

You may indeed be the purest descendants (although mixed with Anglo and Norman blood enough, against your will), we're still the original settlers.

It was just to emphasize the Menapian connection.

Also, the Menapian haplogroup subtype was discovered thanks to the cooperation of a member of one of the oldest noble families of Belgium. He had information from his private family library that suggested their direct link to the Menapii. After testing this proved to be the case.

The family originated in one of the late strongholds of the Menapii in East-Flanders.

In the villages in that area the chronicles tell us that they were predominately red-haired (a typical insular Celtic R1b-L21+ feature). We had a local saying there: litt. translated as "red hair, angry people"

pic related: baron Baudouin de Crombrugghe de Looringhe

His Menapian Y-DNA is shared with almost predominantly Irish people: McGuire, McCown, McCaffrey, Clarke, Garvey...

A chairde, cad é an scéal anocht?
Inis dom faoi do cheantar?

Sorry. The first relevant settlers of Ireland.

Thanks to the extensive documented Irish chronicles, going back to the iron age era, it was actually easy to locate the Menapii, as the are present in folk tales and legends.

The meaning of their name is btw: "the people of Mannanan mac Lir" (the ancient Celtic sea-god). They claimed direct blood-kin to him.

Probably the smallest tribe of the Belgae, but the bravest, as they defied Caesar.

Join the INLA lads.

They were celts, the Irish were celts, they probably had linguistic differences, it was simply celts moving towards celts. Also why didnt these magic seafaring brave warriors bring technological advances with them? We've no evidence of the sort of things continental celtics were capable of such a gold currency until the viking age

It was the best thing the Brits ever did for us. It red pilled the normies.

British occupation and oppression of Ireland for 800 years was unjustified

Fuck I'm being triggered right now I can feel the anger rising

...

Is Ireland a meme country?

They would have spoken a dialect initially closer to a Brythonic variant I'd imagine so they probably got assimilated just like everyone else except those orange bastards.

>INLA

Don't believe in their socialist pro refugee pro eu shite

Fuck off to England then. Are borders the only thing you care about? You get triggered by borders but not by complete cultural and economic domination?

BLUE.PILLED.KEK

can't tell if you're joking or not

Our country was built on a foundation of dead bodies from people like you.

It wasn't so simple m8. There was a lot of infighting, and the Menapian newcomers were seen as outsiders and foreigners.

The earliest Irish epic The Táin contains stories where Forgall Monach (litt. "Gaulish outlander of the Menapii") his beautiful daughter is courted by the legendary hero Cuchulainn. It reveals that her father's fort known as Bruiden Forgall Monach a Faebh Luscai ("the hostel of the Gaulish outlander of the Menapii at Lusk") lay near the Delvin river in north country Dublin.

Scenmenn Monach, Forgall Monach's sister, lived near Dun Forgall Monach. Cuchulainn fell in love with the daughter of this powerful and crafty Menapian magician, who refused her hand in marriage and locked her up in a magic castle. Eventually Cuchulainn abducted her after killing the entire garrison. In the end her father the Menapian magician kills himself.


Also, one of the leading figures of early Irish legend had Menapian connections. Finn mac Cumhaill was the chief of a 2nd century AD Leinster force of mercenary warriors called the Fianna. He was said to have a corrbolg, a venemous spear that never missed its mark. As his name indicates, he was the son of the local Belgo-Celtic deity Cumhaill or Camulos (Romans named it Mars Camulus) which was extensively worshipped here in Belgium, a lot of statues have been found, amongst the Nervii and Remi (Bavay, Reims). LEgend says he was given his corrbolg by Mannanan mac Lir himself. Finn/Fionn's name means "blond" or "white".

Stop calling this thread eire. Nobody can find it that way.

So you're saying that the literal aristocracy of your country are basically just peasants here kek.

What? Why would they be peasants? Are you dense?

The Irish have nobility too.

Ireland/irish people suck ass. The english are a lot cooler.

fuck off newcunt

Níl. Éire is ainm di. Mura maith leat é, téigh aon áit eile.

Thank you for your contribution to the thread.

To make it clear for you: an old noble family has family archives, which provided a clear documented link between Menapii and the origins of the family, in order to do the genetic tests.

You do know that noble people don't really have blue blood do you?

No problem, potato boy.

It's true I don't visit this thread often because you are all a shower of boring cunts but I have been here since hackers on steroids in 07/08

Nobody calls this country eire get over yerselves FFS.

The irish are lazy bums who have never accomplished anything other than whine all day long.

How many Irish people actually speak Irish these days?

Hello, I'm English, but my Nan was Irish so technically I am Irish too :^)

Feels really good to be Irish 2bh

about 5-10% I think

I speak it daily in college. I'm studying a course called Nua Ghaeilge.

Do you think the language will ever be revived on a national scale? What do you think of the duolingo Irish course?

Also, are there any novels or TV series in Irish?
Thanks

On a national scale? Not in my lifetime. But I hope it will eventually. It's becoming more popular to learn with growing numbers of societies in colleges around the country. More and more students are visiting the Gaeltachtaí (areas which Irish is primarily spoken).
I think duolingo is a good idea in general. It's promoting languages (Irish included) to people around the world.
There are many novels and TV shows in Irish. We've a TV station through Irish called tg4.

>Do you think the language will ever be revived on a national scale?
lol no

No it wont it's akin to latin it doesn't adapt to modern times. It's like 1% of people here who speak it. It doesn't help when the people who speak it appear like a cult and start demanding police officers and such speak to them in Irish.

Ros na Rún is a long running Irish language soap opera that nobody watches.

1,000 fucking episodes

Lotta catching up to do. I love how low budget it is lol. It has the sound effects you hear on cartoons too. See minute 35 on the video I posted heh.

Why don't the Irish just follow Israel's example where they revived Hebrew, just with Irish?
That's good to hear. It would be a shame for the language to die

It's difficult to do because of how the language is seen.
It's compulsory in schooling, and it's taught wrongly. This distills a hatred in the language which is felt by many.

Ah nai Deco, you care more about English soccer than preserving your language and culture.

>No it wont it's akin to latin it doesn't adapt to modern times. It's like 1% of people here who speak it. It doesn't help when the people who speak it appear like a cult and start demanding police officers and such speak to them in Irish.

Understandable, they feel their language is dying and they are trying to protect it.

This is what happens when a second language with a higher relevance factor is spoken in the land, it will grow to dominate and in the end it will kill the other language.

We had a similar situation with French, and managed to stop it in due time, or we would have ended up the same. The francophones still hate us for our "retarded language policies" but it is just out of self-preservation.

In a sense the rise of English has helped us, French used to be the most relevant language until 50 years ago. If French would have been like English today, Flemish speakers would also have dropped to the single digits.

>Belgian trying to convince everyone that there ancestors were Irish without any Belgian influence brought onto the land such as simple historical items or scripture
>the average shit posting
>drug fags are probably showing up soon
Shit thread. Time to leave.

You would have to have a willing populace. When I went to school all the Irish teachers were cunts that all had a certain cultish way about them.

You were forced to take a class in it rather than learning something you wanted to. Not getting a passing mark would have detrimental effects on what course you can study in university so you only learn to pass the test.

I actually got 95 out of 100 in my Irish test but I cant remember any of it now because it left such a bad taste in my mouth.

Drugs were already in the thread earlier.

This is sad, and I can relate unfortunately. They do the same shit here with Afrikaans

And there's me thinking it was the main language in South Africa.

The language is taught like English. We're expected to know it, read poems and books through it. It should be approached like how French and German are taught. It also shouldn't be compulsory. Trust you and me, if I was in charge of that - I'd had the whole country loving the language.

>English soccer
is there any other kind?

They all speak with an english R, is that because of generally speaking English, or is that native to the Irish language?

Man I cited you two examples from Irish folklore: You're just being a dick. I can't help it if you don't like us, but it's a historical fact.

Also, this thread is more often than not dead. You can maybe be glad that at least someone takes interest in your country and its history.

Native.

I didn't even mention the items, there are a fuckload btw. I can fill half the thread with archeological findings related to the Belgae in Ireland.

How free of mudslimes is Ireland? I have dual citizenship from my dead beat father and recently got a nice job offer in Belfast

decent bait

Forgall DISGUISED Himself as a Gaulish outlander he wasn't an actual one, what the fuck are you talking about.

great argument you've got there
now you really got to me m8
wish I had your talent

sure m8

Glad you agree to the facts.

lmao belgians on suicide watch

The 2m high remparts of Drummanagh promontory fort at Loughskinny (north Dublin coast) is still there: Dun Forgall Monach.

Tons of archeological findings of Belgic type pottery etc...

Now we have genetics confirming it.

Keep on denying it, your delusions will go the way of your language, that I can promise you.

might be more to your liking

I think you should be executed 2bh pham

sounds like how english is taught in japanese schools
