Sounds like an elven language from lord of the rings lmao

[Clee]

Khabib like " I no undrestand this guy"

The worst crime the British "empire" committed on Irish soil was the death of one of the oldest languages in the world.They knew that the one true way to enslave a people is to force them to speak a foriegn language(speaking Irish in public was a death sentence not too long ago).I only can hope that the Irish language can find a way back because it is a rare gem in the Irish treasure that is our whole of our island including our brothers and sisters still under tyranny in the north.Tiocfaidh ar la

Always a beautiful thing to hear one's mother tongue, no matter where you are in the world. Indigenous languages need to be preserved, not faded away for languages like English. Our mother tongues are a part of our histories, without them we cannot fully exist.

[ShiddyShad]

Sounds like a damn difficult language to learn.

[warrenpaine]

When an Irishman is able to speak the Mother Tongue you know they have a love for their country and heritage.

Khabib “why you speak English” Nurmagomedov

[caseyprice]

Needless to say he’s had his problems. However it made me smile how passionate he got when she was speaking Irish.

Reporter: how are you?
Connor: how am I? I'm great
Reporter: are you looking forward to the fight?
Connor: yeah, I'm looking forward to it
Reporter: what would you say about José Aldo? In Irish, if you can
Connor: I'm a bit rusty in speaking Irish, but I'm going to hit him in the face with my feet, inside 4 minutes. In Round 1... Can I go to the toilet (this is an Irish joke because typically the first saying that you'e taught in an Irish school is if you can go to the toilet.)

[dashv]

I can’t tell if he’s just speaking English with a strong accent or he’s actually speaking another language

[SirTerribad]

Damn the Brits really took away a lot from people’s cultures...

[ghanimalghawanmeh]

The majority of Irish people can't speak Irish, what a shame.

[javiermelendez]

You saw his demeanor change like the smile of someone who has felt like home in a different state

Translation "One ring to rule them all,
One ring to find them,
One ring to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them...
Fek arff"

TRANSLATION “I plan on snorting lots of coke in preparation for the fight, it will be over quick”

[TenThumbsProductions]

Is this the same as Gaelic? Or is Irish a type of Gaelic language the same way Italian and Spanish are romantic languages? Anybody from Ireland here than can help me out?

[cormac.porter]

For everyone who doesn’t understand he said “ I will kick his head in with my leg within 4 minutes of the 1st round “ and then can I go to the toilet

[Bruinsman-rhdc]

Just so everyone knows it's not Gaelic it's IRISH.

[pinkaxolotl]

He sounds less intimidating. He sounds like he’s gonna buy you an ice cream and give you a fluffy bear.

[versatilebxngpromotion]

“Lessons are always available” lol she had something in mind.
