Mo thaing do sgioba Aithris na Maidne airson an cothrom a thoirt dhomh bruidhinn air Bile nan Cànan Albannach

Tha an t-Oll Conchúr Ó Giollagáin ag ràdh gu bheil Bile nan Cànanan "gun fheum" is gu bheil e deatamach daoine a thoirt cruinn gus slighe ùr a dhealbh aig ìre na coimhearsnachd. bbc.in/3Imacl7

On the 5th anniversary of the publication of the #GaelicCrisis study, we enquire what concrete steps have been taken to address the ongoing social decline of #Scotland's native speaking #Gaelic communities? #ScottishLanguagesBill does not address this. bit.ly/4bOzkdT

Analysis of #ScottishLanguagesBill bit.ly/3G7YFWd "official and academic failure to engage sincerely with the reality check which the #GaelicCrisis evidence engendered is also implicated in this misguided legislation ... a rebuff to the remaining #Gaelic communities."

🗣️ "Que l’èuscar sigui com un 'hobby' potser farà feliços a molts, però cal preguntar als 'euskalduns' si volen una llengua viva o si volen una llengua convertida en un 'hobby'" Entrevista a Conchúr Ó Giollagáin, expert irlandès en llengües minoritàries vilaweb.cat/noticies/conch…

Neo-liberal minority-language policies and politics made this desocietalised syndrome inevitable. In ignoring the societal decline of the language minorities, minority-language officialdom prioritised defending its bureaucratic mechanisms rather than minority communities.

El meu agraïment a Vicent Partal per escriure aquest editorial a VilaWeb. My thanks to Vicent Partal for writing this editorial: vilaweb.cat/noticies/els-b… UHI

Gràcies O dichital! Minority language promotion starts with protecting vernacular communities. Language promotion with vernacular community protection requires reinforcing the social geography of the day-to-day practice of minority languages and their lived social culture.
