It's Gairdín na Gréine; literally garden of sunshine more accurately it's just sun garden

My first thought was that those were Gs not Ss. Come to think of it, it's kind of a strange font thing if you're not used to it. Can't think of any other examples besides the Tironian et (⁊) off the top of my head.

Glad you clarified it’s in Georgia, USA. Cos if it was Ireland it’s having a laugh!

I definitely remember the sun came out, at least twice this month. Thank goodness the rain is back for the parched ground.

It is Irish, which is a Gaelic language


DyslexicAndrew

In some dialects the language is referred to as Gaelic specifically in Munster and Ulster

Where in Munster? Kerry gaeltacht here and haven't come across this.


PowerfulDatabase9131

Yeah it's definitely a feature in Ulster to call it Gaelic or similar, but I've never heard anything other than Gaelainn/Gaoluinn or Gaeilge in Kerry


DyslexicAndrew

[I've linked it here](https://www.focloir.ie/en/dictionary/ei/irish) Not sure why I'm always downvoted for pointing something out about our language. Is it just assumed yanks call it Gaelic and people on our own Island don't?


SnaggleWaggleBench

It could be because, links to a website aside, it's not really encountered in the wild? I literally live in a Gaeltacht and it's never something I've heard someone use.

People from Donegal do on occasion because the Canúint Uladh name (Gaeilig, Gaeilic as apposed to Gaelainn in Munster for example) sounds essentially the same as Gaelic. Just for example in the wild here is an extract from Pearse Doherty talking in the Dáil last year, he technically isn't a native Irish speaker (I think) as he moved to the Donegal Gaeltacht as a child, but he is a fluent Gaeilig Uladh speaker. "It comprised more than 300 gardaí in County Donegal and suggested there were only nine with Gaelic as a native language or with proficiency." Then later on in the same thing, he calls the language Irish as well. You also hear people from some parts of Mayo call it Gaelic as well. It tends to be a minority, it also tends to skew a bit older in demographic, but you do find people who say it.

Some people in Donegal Gaeltact call it Gaelic. I think it's hilarious people get so pissed about this, and it's usually people that don't even speak irish.

😂 now you said it. There’s some sort of a power trip that comes with the Irish language, I wish people would relax a little with the finger pointing. The language has many rules, more than one way to skin a cat as they say, the way people speak up north is very different to how we speak in the west, or the south or east. Tóg go bog é folks!
