Re: Irish Gaelic Resources
I happened to find this: https://www.xn--sorchanghuairim-bpb.ie/ ... urse-irish while searching. I'm guessing it's the Connacht version? Not exactly sure myself, as I can't read the Gaelic type well. Doesn't mention Ó Cuív, so I'm thinking I'm correct.

Re: Irish Gaelic Resources
Yeah, that's very much the Conamara version. Sa + urú, peictiúr, etc.

Re: Irish Gaelic Resources
Still, a cool find. I see it has audio on the pages as well.

Wow, that looks almost like the Nature Method courses out there.

Re: Irish Gaelic Resources
Nice find, księżycowy! It's always heartwarming to encounter materials written in Gaelic type; for me, there's just something magical about it. Even though I appreciate the convenience of Roman type, I consider Gaelic type to be a more fitting and beautiful aesthetic to accompany the sounds of the Irish language on the whole. My mother, for instance, always used cursive Gaelic type throughout her schooling in Ireland and mourns the loss of the séimhiú to graceless modern 'h's. Ah well...

If anyone happens across the Munster version, well, you know where to find me.

Re: Irish Gaelic Resources
Has anyone used Gaschaint (Irish phrases for parents and guardians)? This is the website: https://www.gaschaint.ie/
It has phrases in three dialects with audio. I'm assuming spoken by native speakers but I'm a beginner so can't tell.

Ah, but you might be making a false dichotomy there. Is seancló and less Latin than other modern typefaces? Our archetype is "Times New Roman", but that's modelled loosely on chisel marks, which are the most enduring thing you can get. Seancló is based on uncial, which was just how people wrote Latin using a reed quill. Hell, Roman scripts didn't have JKQWVXYZ.
So it seems a bit rich to call a sans-serif font "Roman type" and call the last remnant of genuine historic Latin writing "Gaelic type"...

I agree, but alas, the power of Wikipedia compels me to cave into convention yet again. For this, and for the lack of more creative or fitting nomenclature, I can only apologize. We could, of course, revert to Ogham script, but I fear we would soon run out of space for whittling and chiseling and get lost amongst the sticks and stones.
