It actually probably will never die out. There'll always be some people who want to preserve it.

"Just fake a strong Australian accent, and then they'll think you're Australian. Watch some Crocodile Hunter movies, and then really exaggerate the accent."

For the past year, I have exchanged e-mails and telephone calls with a man who claims to be a native of Caithness County Scotland (the very northern-most county in Scotland and a region identified with the Highlands), although he now lives in the US. He supposedly grew up speaking Gaelic (he is in his early sixties), but the few times he has called me, he has sounded to my American ear like he has lived mostly in the London area. He also claims to be a third cousin twice removed--a claim I increasingly doubt.
When I was a teenager, the pastor of my church was a Lowland Scot with a pronounced burr, and I have third cousins in Ontario Canada who still speak with a distinct Irish accent (from Tyrone). This man's accent sounded quite different from both of these accents and more like BBC English. What gives? Shouldn't a Highland accent sound like a cross between Irish and Lowland Scots? [We've stopped our correspondence, so this question is just for my own personal satisfaction.]

My family is 4th Generation Australian Robertson and my Nana still speaks Gaelic but I have never learnt it. She only speaks it when she is piss drunk and angry/happy I never have been able to tell. But it is a beautiful language. I didn't hear it that much when I was in Scotland unfortunately.

Hi. I don't think you have any cause at all to get twitchy about your visit to Ireland - the Irish generally are a very friendly people, very hospital and willing to share the craic with anyone willing to partcipate alongside them. If you take them as you find them then they will do the same. Ireland is a great country and I'm looking forward to seeing more of it after my one and only fleeting trip to Dublin.
As for any anti American sentiment in Ireland - unlike England I would think there is no such feeling in the main. Remember this - there are huge numbers of Americans who are of Irish descent, and the Paddy's Day celebrations in New York City far outshine those in Dublin itself!
So worry not!! No need to. Give it a whirl and hae a guid time in Erin's Isle.

I am sick of whoever franny is now dissing us all the tim (saes yffarn). And what do you mean the welsh havn't invented anything u use ur stupid fucking head for once and back you'r statements please for one you can't invent a leek but only discover it(but then again beign English that's the type of arogance we can expect) We actually invented the = sign and without that where would any equasion be or scientific fomula so in future i woul do some revising in What i say. And aswell we don't speak english to our fellow welsh people and then speak welsh to the English i live in glanaman which is in carmarthenshire and it's 78.47% welsh speaking and we children speak it with eachother as would a frenchman speaking french. and also The English tried banning us from speaking welsh so that they could anglicanize wales so tell me now Franny how would you feel if the welsh mad you speak Welsh only? i think i have stated my point clear,

Why shouldn't we let Gaelic die? Who honestly believes that most Scots and Irish wish to learn it? The fact that the language is dying out is proof that the Scots and Irish just don't care about wanting to speak it.
It's irritating having Scots and Irish complaining about the extinction of the Gaelic language - and usually blaming it (mysteriously) on the English. But if the Scots ever bothered to learn the language (rather than sitting around in pubs drinking beer paid for by their Giro cheques which, in turn, were paid for by the English taxpayer) then there would be more people able to speak the language.
