Conchúr Ó Giollagáin @ConchurOG: «Funtseqn, gaur egun hizkuntza minorizatuetara begira egiten diren politiketan, oro har, bazterrean uzten da desagertzen ari direla hiztunen komunitateak, eta indarra jartzen da hizkuntzaren sustapen sinbolikoan batez ere» berria.eus/euskal-herria/…
Good point about the foundational DQ
Interesting article. Applying it to “my world” of Aranese, I see that without strong DQ1 foundations, DQ2–4 cannot meaningfully sustain long-term vitality. Civic efforts must reinforce and incentivize home transmission, not just public usage.
Our thanks to the Journal of Ethnic Studies for publishing our Language Dynamics in Society (LanDS) article, a comprehensive reappraisal of Ethnolinguistic Vitality frameworks, including a significant revision of Fishman’s (E)GIDS bit.ly/3Twqmef
Analysis of #ScottishLanguagesBill bit.ly/3G7YFWd "official and academic failure to engage sincerely with the reality check which the #GaelicCrisis evidence engendered is also implicated in this misguided legislation ... a rebuff to the remaining #Gaelic communities."
On the 5th anniversary of the publication of the #GaelicCrisis study, we enquire what concrete steps have been taken to address the ongoing social decline of #Scotland's native speaking #Gaelic communities? #ScottishLanguagesBill does not address this. bit.ly/4bOzkdT

Tha an t-Oll Conchúr Ó Giollagáin ag ràdh gu bheil Bile nan Cànanan "gun fheum" is gu bheil e deatamach daoine a thoirt cruinn gus slighe ùr a dhealbh aig ìre na coimhearsnachd. bbc.in/3Imacl7
Mo thaing do sgioba Aithris na Maidne airson an cothrom a thoirt dhomh bruidhinn air Bile nan Cànan Albannach
Thuirt Ollamh Rannsachadh na Gàidhlig aig UHI gu bheil Achd nan Cànan Albannach gun fheum 's nach dèan e dad 'son a' Ghàidhlig a ghlèidheadh mar chànan coimhearsnachd. bbc.in/4lRp8Xh

🔴 Officials accused of censoring experts who warned Gaelic will die out scotsman.com/news/politics/…
Gaelic officialdom is failing to engage with its existential crisis scotsman.com/news/politics/… "Given the irrelevance of this Bill..., it is likely that this legislation will become the sociolinguistic equivalent of a religious liturgy for a non-existent congregation" #Gaelic
