Listen to the song the old man is singing at 7:18.
Is there any academic study or collection of the foclóir which survived over?

Is there any Gaelic League type organisation trying to establish an Irish speaking community?

An bhfuil aon eolas eile agaibh fé?

One of the last semi-native Irish speakers was Aly or Aloysius O'Brien and thus also one of the last speakers of Leinster Irish which was the Irish spoken in Newfoundland. He died a few months ago.

There is a book called An Ghaeilge i dTalamh an Éisc which is out of print.

Memorial University of Newfoundland in St.John's has a folklore department you could contact.

There are 10 Gaelic speakers according to the 2001 Census-they could be Newfoundland Irish speakers, Scots Gaelic speakers from the Codroy Valley or Irish speakers from Ireland.

Nach tráthúil an eolas atá agat, a Liam!
Cad chuige nach ndéantar a thuilleadh taighde ar an deichniúr Gael atá fágtha ann!

Tá dualgas orm anois, chun an leabhar atá luaite agat a fháil in áit éigin.

Cad é an scéal le Cape Breton, mar sin? An raibh/bhfuil Éireannach ar bith suite ann i measc na hAlbanaigh?

Is mór an suim atá agam ar cúrsaí Gaelach i gCeanada, muise.

Ó go n-ithe an diabhal thú!
