Just got this month's National Geographic. Pretty good article about the Celtic cultures. More focus on Gaeidhlig than Gaeilge and a blanket use of "Gaelic" for both languages.

Despite that, not a bad article.

My brother, who has always firmly refused to go to an immersion weekend with me, just sent me a link to that article asking where can he sign up for those Irish weekends again?

Isn't it surprising that even an eminent journal like the National Geographic can't get everything right when talking about the Celtic fringe..I guess it's exoticness must blind them!!!

I wish the languages were seen as less exotic and more spoken!

What's with the red paint? Shíl mé riamh gurb é glaisean a chaith na Ceiltigh. There's a great song about woad-wearing to the tune of Men of Harlech, by the way. Seo agaibh cuid de:

Ancient Britons never hit on,
anything as good as woad to fit on
necks and knees and where you sit on...
Ognuno sta solo sul cuor della terra
trafitto da un raggio di sole:
ed è subito sera. -- Salvatore Quasimodo
