<3 beloved colony of my ancestors
If any of you live in:
Wexford, Mungonia, Drumanagh, Drummanakelly, Castle Manaan, Dumanan, Drummaniane, Drumman, Monaigh Ulad, Lismenan, Edamanay, Coolmannan, Monaila, Drummanneagh, Cordrummans, Monage, Ramanny, Drumanan, Munily, Tomany, Mullaghmonaghan, Dundrumman, Glasscrumman, Killyman, Camlokmannan, Carrowmannan, Moira, Menagh, Drummeen, Magherafeit, Drummance, Ballymena, Lisamanny, Taughmonagh...
congrats! You live in a village settled by Menapians (aka Manapii, Monapii, Monaghii), the ancestors of modern provincial Flemings, who were sea-faring Belgae.
This means you probably have some noble Belgian blood flowing through your veins.

Irish people always brag about how they all know Irish. But do they, really?
Be honest now, Irish anons. How much do you actually speak Irish?
>>60126436
There's a few of us here with good Irish.
I'm one of them.
>>60126436
Really looking to learn more, know any good resources?
>>60124327
Nope. not at all.
1. The Fîr-Bolg (Belgae) were the first settlers of Ireland
2. The colonies of the Menapii (and the Chauci in one instance, a neighbouring tribe from the Netherlands) are well documented.
I also refer you to the book: Menapia Quest by Norman Mongan
>>60126734
Gaeltachtaí
>>60126734
Irish is the most useless language to learn, have fun being able to talk to people in a few remote places in ireland who also speak english
>>60126272
Does your mammy really check your post
Also it's in distinct silver packaging with stamps from birmingham on it so it'll definitely stick out
>>60126834
Why are you actually taking shite thought up by some clergy as real.
>>60126834
Also; Fermanagh, settled by the Managh people (Menapii)
Monaghia: the same
The Isle of Man (Monapia), and Anglesey (Mona, Môn);, along with the Welsh coast and part of Scotland: all settled by the noble Menapians, my ancestors
Even the Menapian haplogroup subclade is known (R1b-L21+-Z16340), originated in Belgium, now commonly found in Flanders and Ireland.
Easter Rising executions were justified, regardless of the following events
>>60126948
Mate, if you were to look into the matter, you'd see it is so.
Just look at a fucking map to see all the names refering to the Menapii, like I already quoted.
In Flanders the city of Menen was one of their main centers.
Along the Welsh coast there are an equal amount of references to Maenen, etc... Same for the Scottish Firth of Forth.
You may find such a thing unpleasant, but it is historical fact, and well supported.
Is it true that the Boyne is a river of memes?
>>60127090
Belgiums got heavily cucked by the Franks anyway, so we're the purest descendants 2bh
>>60126948
also:
>Ptolemy
>clergy
modern phylogenetic mapping already supports the fact, and will do moreso in the future.
So, my dear blood-relationship, allow me to add: WE WUZ SETTLERS OF IRELAND AND MANX AND SHITE
>>60127090
The first settlers of Ireland certainly weren't the bronze age "fir bolg" you cretin.
>>60123035
We really need to deanglicise placenames, they look fucking retarded with English spelling.
>>60127155
BEcause they were a part of the Frankish confederacy. A confederacy of local tribes from the Netherlands and Belgium that decided to unite against the Romans.
The Menapii were the only Celtic tribe of those conquered by Rome who never sent hostages to Rome to negotiate peace.
Their pig meat and wool clothing were famous even in Rome (exactly the same the later Flemings would be famous for in the Middle Ages).
It is true that the Menapii and Chauci sailed for Ireland and surroundings because they disliked the Romans.
But they remained under this name a tribe in Belgium for 800 years after Caesar until merging with the local Germanics to become the Flemings of today.
Carausius the Menapian was the first emperor of Britain, he was a usurper who claimed the Roman crown and was quite succesfull. Coins are still found often.
You may indeed be the purest descendants (although mixed with Anglo and Norman blood enough, against your will), we're still the original settlers.
>>60127472
It was just to emphasize the Menapian connection.
Also, the Menapian haplogroup subtype was discovered thanks to the cooperation of a member of one of the oldest noble families of Belgium. He had information from his private family library that suggested their direct link to the Menapii. After testing this proved to be the case.
The family originated in one of the late strongholds of the Menapii in East-Flanders.
In the villages in that area the chronicles tell us that they were predominately red-haired (a typical insular Celtic R1b-L21+ feature). We had a local saying there: litt. translated as "red hair, angry people"
pic related: baron Baudouin de Crombrugghe de Looringhe
His Menapian Y-DNA is shared with almost predominantly Irish people: McGuire, McCown, McCaffrey, Clarke, Garvey...
A chairde, cad é an scéal anocht?
Inis dom faoi do cheantar?
>>60127408
Sorry. The first relevant settlers of Ireland.
Thanks to the extensive documented Irish chronicles, going back to the iron age era, it was actually easy to locate the Menapii, as the are present in folk tales and legends.
The meaning of their name is btw: "the people of Mannanan mac Lir" (the ancient Celtic sea-god). They claimed direct blood-kin to him.
Probably the smallest tribe of the Belgae, but the bravest, as they defied Caesar.
Join the INLA lads.
>>60128289
They were celts, the Irish were celts, they probably had linguistic differences, it was simply celts moving towards celts. Also why didnt these magic seafaring brave warriors bring technological advances with them? We've no evidence of the sort of things continental celtics were capable of such a gold currency until the viking age
>>60127035
It was the best thing the Brits ever did for us. It red pilled the normies.

They would have spoken a dialect initially closer to a Brythonic variant I'd imagine so they probably got assimilated just like everyone else except those orange bastards.

Our country was built on a foundation of dead bodies from people like you.
>>60128403
It wasn't so simple m8. There was a lot of infighting, and the Menapian newcomers were seen as outsiders and foreigners.
The earliest Irish epic The Táin contains stories where Forgall Monach (litt. "Gaulish outlander of the Menapii") his beautiful daughter is courted by the legendary hero Cuchulainn. It reveals that her father's fort known as Bruiden Forgall Monach a Faebh Luscai ("the hostel of the Gaulish outlander of the Menapii at Lusk") lay near the Delvin river in north country Dublin.
Scenmenn Monach, Forgall Monach's sister, lived near Dun Forgall Monach. Cuchulainn fell in love with the daughter of this powerful and crafty Menapian magician, who refused her hand in marriage and locked her up in a magic castle. Eventually Cuchulainn abducted her after killing the entire garrison. In the end her father the Menapian magician kills himself.
Also, one of the leading figures of early Irish legend had Menapian connections. Finn mac Cumhaill was the chief of a 2nd century AD Leinster force of mercenary warriors called the Fianna. He was said to have a corrbolg, a venemous spear that never missed its mark. As his name indicates, he was the son of the local Belgo-Celtic deity Cumhaill or Camulos (Romans named it Mars Camulus) which was extensively worshipped here in Belgium, a lot of statues have been found, amongst the Nervii and Remi (Bavay, Reims). LEgend says he was given his corrbolg by Mannanan mac Lir himself. Finn/Fionn's name means "blond" or "white".
Stop calling this thread eire. Nobody can find it that way.
>>60127914
So you're saying that the literal aristocracy of your country are basically just peasants here kek.
>>60129523
What? Why would they be peasants? Are you dense?
The Irish have nobility too.
Ireland/irish people suck ass. The english are a lot cooler.

Thank you for your contribution to the thread.
>>60129523
To make it clear for you: an old noble family has family archives, which provided a clear documented link between Menapii and the origins of the family, in order to do the genetic tests.
You do know that noble people don't really have blue blood do you?
>>60129732
No problem, potato boy.

The irish are lazy bums who have never accomplished anything other than whine all day long.
How many Irish people actually speak Irish these days?
Hello, I'm English, but my Nan was Irish so technically I am Irish too :^)
Feels really good to be Irish 2bh
>>60129901
about 5-10% I think
>>60129901
I speak it daily in college. I'm studying a course called Nua Ghaeilge.
>>60130118
Do you think the language will ever be revived on a national scale? What do you think of the duolingo Irish course?
Also, are there any novels or TV series in Irish?
>>60130030
Thanks
>>60130344
On a national scale? Not in my lifetime. But I hope it will eventually. It's becoming more popular to learn with growing numbers of societies in colleges around the country. More and more students are visiting the Gaeltachtaí (areas which Irish is primarily spoken).
I think duolingo is a good idea in general. It's promoting languages (Irish included) to people around the world.
There are many novels and TV shows in Irish. We've a TV station through Irish called tg4.
>>60130344
>Do you think the language will ever be revived on a national scale?
lol no
>>60130344
No it wont it's akin to latin it doesn't adapt to modern times. It's like 1% of people here who speak it. It doesn't help when the people who speak it appear like a cult and start demanding police officers and such speak to them in Irish.

Why don't the Irish just follow Israel's example where they revived Hebrew, just with Irish?
>>60130532
That's good to hear. It would be a shame for the language to die
>>60130990
It's difficult to do because of how the language is seen.
It's compulsory in schooling, and it's taught wrongly. This distills a hatred in the language which is felt by many.
>>60130667
Ah nai Deco, you care more about English soccer than preserving your language and culture.
>>60130688
>No it wont it's akin to latin it doesn't adapt to modern times. It's like 1% of people here who speak it. It doesn't help when the people who speak it appear like a cult and start demanding police officers and such speak to them in Irish.
Understandable, they feel their language is dying and they are trying to protect it.
This is what happens when a second language with a higher relevance factor is spoken in the land, it will grow to dominate and in the end it will kill the other language.
We had a similar situation with French, and managed to stop it in due time, or we would have ended up the same. The francophones still hate us for our "retarded language policies" but it is just out of self-preservation.
In a sense the rise of English has helped us, French used to be the most relevant language until 50 years ago. If French would have been like English today, Flemish speakers would also have dropped to the single digits.
>Belgian trying to convince everyone that there ancestors were Irish without any Belgian influence brought onto the land such as simple historical items or scripture

Shit thread. Time to leave.
>>60130990
You would have to have a willing populace. When I went to school all the Irish teachers were cunts that all had a certain cultish way about them.
You were forced to take a class in it rather than learning something you wanted to. Not getting a passing mark would have detrimental effects on what course you can study in university so you only learn to pass the test.
I actually got 95 out of 100 in my Irish test but I cant remember any of it now because it left such a bad taste in my mouth.
>>60131303
Drugs were already in the thread earlier.
>>60131143
>>60131306
This is sad, and I can relate unfortunately. They do the same shit here with Afrikaans
>>60131391
And there's me thinking it was the main language in South Africa.
The language is taught like English. We're expected to know it, read poems and books through it. It should be approached like how French and German are taught. It also shouldn't be compulsory. Trust you and me, if I was in charge of that - I'd had the whole country loving the language.
>>60131185
>English soccer
is there any other kind?
>>60130688
They all speak with an english R, is that because of generally speaking English, or is that native to the Irish language?
>>60131303
Man I cited you two examples from Irish folklore: >>60129314
You're just being a dick. I can't help it if you don't like us, but it's a historical fact.

As if I have never seen the fucking wikipedia article before.
You can hate Belgians for all I care, but it is the truth that the Belgae settled large parts of Ireland. I have already given you enough material for today.
Don't worry, I'll be back, every day if I have to. With fresh material so you may go spastic again every time.
How's it going lads, I'm on holidays tomorrow, any good films out recently that aren't cape shit?
>>60131674

I provided you with enough material in case you want to look it up.
Even named a book by your own countrymen.
I don't intend to correct you every time and don't be mistaken lad. I don't hate you. I'm only correcting you is all. Even after you calling me a spastic and such I still don't hate you. You shouldn't need to find evidence of your own culture in others when you a already have a decent history and culture, take pride in that, not in others.

>>60132998
It's too late to arguee, I'll show you tomorrow where you are wrong, and bring your some more tales and evidence of Menapii and Belgae in general in Ireland.
Not just for you, I'm writing a paper on the subject, so it makes good practice for me anyway.
