Linguistics[]
English and Irish are the two main languages spoken in Ireland, with millions of people speaking them as a primary or secondary language. Irish is also a main language in the European Union, though the language has been classified as “definitely endangered.” This is due to the language only having 170,000 people having the language as their primary, which lowers down to 78,000 outside of education.
