Irish (Gaeilge), also referred to as Gaelic or Irish Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family, originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish people. Irish is spoken as a first language by a small minority of Irish people, and as a second language by a rather larger group. Irish enjoys constitutional status as the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland, and is an officially recognised minority language in Northern Ireland. It is also among the official languages of the European Union. The public body Foras na Gaeilge is responsible for the promotion of the language throughout the island of Ireland.

An Ghealach

Is an Ghealach nó an Ré nó an tÉasca an t-aon satailít nádúrtha atá ag timpeallú an Domhain í. Ar meán, tá sí faoi thrí chéad ceithre mhíle is ceithre scór ciliméadar (384,000 km) den Domhan. Mar sin, bíonn an solas ag teacht beagáinín níos faide ná aon soicind amháin ón nGealach go dtí an Domhan. Tá an Ghealach míle seacht gcéad ciliméadar (1,700 km) ar gha, agus an imtharraingt a aithníonn an spásaire ar dhroim na Gealaí, níl ann ach an séú cuid dá mheáchan thíos anseo. An té a chonaic na seanscannáin ó laethanta na spásárthaí de shraith Apollo, tá a fhios aige an dóigh a raibh na spásairí in inmhe léimeanna millteanacha a thógáil, beag beann ar na spáschultacha troma a bhí siad a chaitheamh, idir chlogaid, choimeádán ocsaigine, agus ghléasra brúchóirithe.
