Two Languages, One Country

Two Languages, One Country

October: Ireland


Ireland has two official languages: Irish (Gaeilge) and English.

English is spoken by most people in everyday life, while Irish is taught in schools and is especially important in Gaeltacht areas, where it is spoken as a community language.

Visitors can often see both languages on road signs, public buildings and other places.

Irish language and culture are an important part of the country’s history and modern identity.
