Riaghaltas na h-Alba

[*Alasdair*]

http://news.scotsman.com/topics.cfm?tid ... 1601392007

The new sign for "Scottish Executive" is to be in Gaelic as well. The new slogan will be:

"Scottish Executive: Riaghaltas na h-Alba"

This has been met with much opposition from Labour parties and others, claiming that Scotland want to get away from the rest of Britain and strive for independance.

One sign can show all that?

Also note the many, many, many Anti-Gaelic comments :evil:

IMO, it is a good thing as i was saddened to see they had removed the Gaelic, but now i see they were just getting ready to put it back on

Also note the many, many, many Anti-Gaelic comments :evil:

I also noted pro-Gaelic comments 8)

Thanks for the information. I don't understand how and why a country is managing to push down ("push down" : is this correct in english ?) one of its strongest heritage. But this "Riaghaltas na h-Alba" is a (little) step. Glè mhath

Having a go at Gaelic is an industry in itself. Of all the problems in the world it is incredible that some people devote so much time, (perhaps even their entire lives in some cases) to trying to do down one of the indigenous languages of Scotland. How perfect the world would be if only we could get rid of Gaelic? Gaelic obviously more danger to the world than nuclear weapons. George Bush and Gordon Brown should forget about Iran and North korea and concentrate on Alex Salmond's bilingual signs before it is too late. Stop gaelic now or we are all dooooomed Capt Mannering!

As for A Labour spokeswoman said: "Name changes are not the important things for the people of Scotland. To be obsessed with things like this is crazy."
Well what arrogance that displays, people like that need to wake up and realise that the voters have kicked them out because of stone-age attitudes like that.
Don't worry about them, the dinasours are heading for extinction one more time.

Nuair bha mi ag iarraidh mun Ghàidhlig ann am Fìobha, cha do chluinn mi càil sam bith às a' Chomhairle (SNP-LibDem). Nuair a dh'iarr mi dhan BPAs, cha do fhaigh mi taic ach dhen BPA Leabar agam. 'S e an fhirinn ann am Fìobha nach eil na SNP a' gabh suim air a' Ghàidhlig. An e seo a bheil thu ag iarraidh ga fhaicinn airson Gàidhlig? 'S dòcha gum bi na SNP a' caill a roimh ga bhithe ro dheireadh mun chànan. Dinosaurs? 'S e na SNP a th' annta. A-nis, air ais dhan stone age le Alex Salmond.

SEPARATIST IDIOTS, YOU WILL DESTROY OUR BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL COUNTRY WITH YOUR WORDS

[Gràisg]

Seo beachd dhut a sheonaidh bho linn na Cloiche aig an dearbh amadan ud:

http://www.smo.uhi.ac.uk/smo/naidheachd ... 007_b.html

Nuair bha mi ag iarraidh mun Ghàidhlig
Tha feum air ainmear no abairt eadar a' ghnìomair agus mun, mhollainnsa 'fiosraichaidh'

Tha 'iarr' a' cleachdadh 'air', nuair a dh'iarr mi orra

'S e gnìomhair mi-riaghailteach a' th' ann an 'faighinn', tha agad ri ràdh 'chan fhaigh' (àm ri teachd/an tràth teachdail) agus 'cha d'fhuair ' (an tràth caithe)

'a' gabhail' an àite 'gabh'

An e seo a bheil thu ag iarraidh ga fhaicinn airson Gàidhlig?

An e seo a tha thu ag iarraidh faicinn airson Gàidhlig

''S dòcha gum bi na SNP a' caill a roimh ga bhithe ro dheireadh mun chànan.'
Tha mi duilich, chan eil mi a' tuigsinn an t-seantains seo.

'S e na SNP a th' annta.
'S e sin an SNP
no
SNP? 'S e dinasours a th'annta.

Tha do chuid Ghàidhlig a' tighinn air adhart gu math, mholainnsa beagan a bharrachd rannsachaidh air gach sentains agus ann an uine nach bi fada bidh a h-uile càil sgrathail fhèin math. Cùm ort a chàraid
Gu mì-fhortanach ge-tà, chan eil teans sam bith gun tig piseach air do bheachd phoileataiceach.

Tapadh leat ris an sin a Ghràisg. Chan eil e furasta a' sgriobhadh ann an cànan nach robh mi ga ionnsachadh ach fad bliadhna - agus sin air astar! Tha mi duil a bhith a' cumal orm - ach bidh seo slighe fhada ('s e "long slog" 's dòcha).

Facail brèagha - facail a h-uile poilitisean ann an Alba. Bòrd na Gàidhlig - Achd na pàrlamaid roimhe. Gniomharan - bith sinn a' fuireach is faicinn.

Chan eil mi a' tuigsinn "SEPARATIST IDIOTS, YOU WILL DESTROY OUR BEAUTIFUL AND FUNCTIONAL COUNTRY WITH YOUR WORDS" - dim yn gwneud synnwyr i mi. Seadh, tha Cuimris agam. Tha stuth ann am Pàrlamaid na h-Alba anns a/an [Bheurla Ghàidhlig Fhraingis Spàinnis Eadailtis Ghearmailtis ...] ach chan eil rud sam bith aice anns a' Chuimris. Tha dà chanan (no trì, ceithir, ...) a' dèanamh dùthaich beartach - chan eil sin a' sgriosadh càil.

other languages are culturally enriching, gaelic and welsh are backwards languages for separatist terrorists.

[Gràisg]

A bheil? Co-dhiù mhothaich mi gun do thill Bianca gu Eastenders.

[Níall Beag]

Bianca, neoni.. och, dé Gàidhlig air "resemblance"...?

(The question is whether he's being satirical or has been hacked...)

[Seonaidh]

Dh'innse neoni: "other languages are culturally enriching, gaelic and welsh are backwards languages for separatist terrorists." (mae ieithoedd eraill yn dwyn cyfoeth ddiwylliannol, mae gaeleg a saesneg yn ieithoedd hurt i derfysgwyr ymwahanol). Oh well, better give up on the Gaelic, then, and get to grips wi a truly culturally enriching language like Breton, Basque or Kurdish. An e amadan neo bròinean a th'annad?

Cò Bianca? Dè Eastenders? Cha bhi mi ga choimhead idir. A bheil prògram à Preston leis an ainm "Northenders"? Neo prògram à Essex leis an ainm "Southenders"? Real life is far more exciting than owt on' telly.

[GunChleoc]

Tha mi cinnteach gun robh neoni a' tarraing às

[Gràisg]

'Neo prògram à Essex'

'Ethics'? Nach e sin siorramachd ann an Sasainn?

[neoni]

oh thì - dè thòisich mi


tha ailig salmond a' tighinn ann an sheo a-màireach ach feumaidh mise obair fad an fheasgar

I don't understand how and why a country is managing to push down ("push down" : is this correct in english ?) one of its strongest heritage

Try 300 years of Anglicising brainwashing caused by being governed from London. That usually does the trick.
