Dead language
>gaelic
Because they're not Scots. Gaeilge? Irish? Irish Gaelic? One of those three is the correct way.
>Why
Because they wanted to advance the literature movement and English was the way. There is some instances of Irish used, but Joyce was apparently pissed off with Mr. Pearse who hated English and one of the words he used, as an example was "Thunder" to show how shitty english was. This was generally a bad move.
Unsure if anti-Irish or just uninformed about what constitutes a "dead" language. But it's not a dead language. People use it in their day to day, and for some it is their mother tongue. Irish is used for transactions in gaeltacht.
A handful of examples of a dead language would be like pre-Israel hebrew (I say "pre-Israel" there is debate about whether or not modern hebrew should be called hebrew instead of israeli), Sumarian, Hittite, English in London, Iberian, Apalachee, and Aztecan.
I went to a hurling match in Dublin and the Irish couldn't even sing their own national anthem because none of them were competent enough in Gaelic. It was actually really sad to see. If the language isn't dead then it's barely hanging on by the thinnest thread.
Gaelic is gae
Because they wanted people to actually be able to read their work.
Nine centuries of brutal repression and colonialism will do that to a motherfricker
>why did they write in the language of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets instead of some illiterate potato farmers' nearly extinct goblin tongue
BE fricked off in 20th century bro
They wrote in English not Japanese.
not sure if you're trolling or moronic
I'm moronic.
> the language of the Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets
They didn’t write in Spanish
It explains why nobody knows who they are
The empire is gone mr cartoonposter
Translatio imperii to the united states
On its way to a spanish/ebonix hybrid language
>Empire on Which the Sun Never Sets
You mean the island of muslims ruled by a pajeet?
Globohomo
It’s mostly just sheep shaggers and fishermen who use it
Writing in English and being active outside Ireland offered incomparably better opportunities for patronage and publishing. People from peripheral countries like to throw arguments like "oh, look at how this talented son of our land was forced abroad because of this or that" at their ideological opponents, but the truth is that literature blooms wherever money and opportunity allows it to. The renaissance bloomed in Florence not because there was something special about its air, or something innately wrong with, say, 14th century sweden, but because it was the place to go if you wanted to be noticed by a wealthy patron who could enable you to continue your work as an artist.

Genuinely moronic secularist.
