We're continuing our unofficial English translation of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil (The Official Standard), as there's no official one.

We've remained close to the #Irish, resulting sometimes in clunky language. Chap 1,2,3,4,5 and 6 are available now.

One interesting rule of #irish #grammar that many people struggle with, but it seems well alive in native Irish. A 🧵.

If a proper name (of person or place) is referring to the name itself, & not to a specific person, it’s treated as indefinite after the copula.

#gaeilge #gaelainn #gramadach

Nua-Chorpas na hÉireann results from texts by native speakers showing many instances of ‘gur ⟨name⟩ an t-ainm a bhí air’ and similar structures, eg. ‘gur John Paul a bhí ort’, ‘gur Micí is ainm dom’, ‘gur Máirtín a bhí ar fhear an phíopa’, ‘gur Bríd a tugadh ort’ without any pronoun after the copular forms.

There are general issues with the CO, which we plan to address at a different point but won't be addressed in translation yet, as it's a long process to even complete in the first place.

We've begun our unofficial English translation of An Caighdeán Oifigiúil (The Official Standard), as there is no official one.

We have tried to remain as close to the Irish as possible, which has also resulted in rather clunky language at times. It is a WIP.

Béarla: Please do not ask for credit, as a refusal often offends.
