Our beautiful Irish language is more consistent than English because it has borrowed less from other languages than English - which is like a magpie!

Irish has been influenced by other languages, including Latin, Old Norse, Norman French, and English.

The Irish word 'Bád' (boat in English) has its origin in the Norse word 'Bátr'.

Focail Gaelach as Lochlainnis ó dhúcas: bád. Is teanga álainn í an Ghaeilge ach bhí tionchair inti ó theangacha eile.
