Irish - 10
There are three distinct dialects, and the language is highly inflected. Also, the spelling conventions are a bit more off-putting than the Welsh language to me.
I have been trying to learn Irish via Duolingo. Phonics do not work with their words. The word looks nothing like it sounds.
Dwi'n siarad Cymraeg!!
Because they are always drunk!
It was a guess
The pronunciations are phonetics are not logical.
I am learning Irish and Welsh and Welsh is very easy when compared to Irish.
love bono
There are so many combinations of letters which change the way you pronounce them.
The Goidelic language predates the other languages.
Scottish - 6
Because in some regions their accent is very thick and, along with their phrasing and vocabulary unique to their region, it can be hard to understand what they're saying. I, as someone who speaks standardized American English (pronouncing words like an American dictionary sounds them out), I found it hard to understand people in Ayr. I didn't have as much trouble in Ft William or Edinburgh.
because of old poems i tried to read
Saw a movie once.
im scots and i dont understand it at times lol
because i think that is very complex to understand or even to distinguishthe different sound and especially with the add of the glotal stop
Browsing the internet and seing compared texts of all the above mentioned languages, it just seemed to me that Irish is somewhat more complicated in its writing-pronunciation.
Welsh - 18
Guttural short syllables
Too many consonants in one word!
Simply because I am least familiar with the Welsh tongue out of the three.
I can readily understand English spoken with an Irish or Scotish accent, but have a difficult time when it is spoken with a Welsh accent. I have to concentrate on the person speaking and sometimes have to watch their lips to be really able to understand what is being said. I am great with accents as a rule.
i was guessing
No vowels.
Because they actually speak a separate language, the Irish and Scottish mostly speak Englush!
Because it looks and sounds more complex to me
My grandfathers family was from Wales, and spoke "in tongue" - very difficult to understand.
As well, yearly gatherings at the Welsh Church south of Iowa City Iowa in early July "Gymanfa" entertains congregation and guests singing "in tongue" as well. I never understood any of it but thoroughly enjoyed all of it.
being of Welsh decent, have tried, laborously, to understand and speak...
My grandfather was welsh and spoke the it and my grandmother was Irish and spoke Gaelic even though they are both a Gaelic I could never understand him
Because.
less people speak it
My great grandma spoke it . I can't begin to roll the tongue to sound out syllables is the vowels,
It is a brythonic language.
I can understand the other two.
Too many y's and h's
**** off, ****
