Can Irish understand Welsh? | Celtic Languages Comparison
In this video, we put the mutual intelligibility between Irish and Welsh to the test. Both languages have Celtic roots and share some similarities, but are they similar enough for speakers of one language to understand the other?
I’ve gathered an Irish and Welsh speakers to take part in a series of challenges to see how much they can understand of each other’s language. We’ll be testing their comprehension skills and exploring the linguistic connections between these two Celtic languages.
This video is perfect for language learners, linguistics enthusiasts, and anyone interested in the history and culture of the Celtic peoples. Whether you’re a speaker of Irish, Welsh, or neither, you’ll be fascinated by the results of this mutual intelligibility challenge.
So, can Irish speakers understand Welsh, and vice versa? Watch the video to find out!
