‘About 80,000 people still speak this language. It’s taught in school, and they have very proud 
Irish speakers all around us. I mean in Donegal and in Cork. But it’s here in Connemara Galway 
that we find probably the majority of Irish speakers.’
‘Irish speaking is a very old language. Yah. It doesn’t have as many words as the English

[teacher speaking Irish in the classroom]
Thirty-five thousand children in Ireland go to Irish-language primary schools. There are also 
some secondary schools where all the subjects are taught in Irish. These children can all speak 
and use English too, but the Irish language is part of their culture and their identity. People 
feel connected to their local languages. They use them to pass on traditions from generation 
to generation.
In other countries, many languages are used every day. In Kenya, for example, English and 
Swahili are the official languages, but there are over 60 local languages, too. 
The Turkana people use three different languages in their daily lives: their own Turkana 
language ,
English for the older children at school and  Swahili in the towns. But in their own 
community, the Turkana language is their first choice.
In our globalised world, English is becoming more and more important for education, 
communication and work. But keeping local languages alive is important if we want local 
communities and their traditions to survive too.
