Irish Language Christmas Gifts

Irish Language Christmas Gifts

Derdriu Store specializes in gift-ware with names and messages translated into the Irish language. Perhaps you never heard of the Irish language before, or thought that it was just a dialect of English? The Irish language, or Gaeilge, is over 1,500 years old. Over the centuries, Irish has evolved through various stages and has faced significant challenges. Approximately 1.8 million people in Ireland claim to speak Irish, however, regular daily speakers are around 73,000. There are designated Gaeltacht regions in Ireland where Irish is the primary language of the community, mainly located in counties like Galway, Kerry, and Donegal. 

So why bother to preserve a language if it seems to be dying out? Languages are deeply tied to cultural heritage, and preserving a language helps maintain traditions, stories, and unique ways of thinking that are integral to a community's identity. As a native born Irish person who learned Irish in school, I feel that it is deeply important to hold on to that connection to our ancestors, and that their experiences, personality and sense of humour are encoded in Irish literature, poetry and song.

Although the current population of Ireland is relatively low - for the whole island of Ireland it is about 7.1 million - estimates suggest that there are around 70 million people of Irish heritage worldwide. This number includes those with ancestral ties to Ireland, particularly in countries like the United States, Canada, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. The Irish diaspora has a rich history, and many people maintain cultural connections to Ireland through language, traditions, and celebrations.

Therefore, in an effort to help support the continued usage of the Irish language both in Ireland and internationally, I created Derdriu Store. We offer gifts for all occasions throughout the year, and have a special range of Christmas items.
