What's your suggestion?:
I myself am an Irish person, and through education I have been taught the language of our nation. To the joy of myself and I'm sure to other Irish people, I happen to see a lot of Irish characters that people within SRP have made. Despite popular belief, English is NOT our native language. We have been modified as a nation to speak said language through wars and settlement during the 19th Century. Through having experience speaking to someone who has created an Irish character, it came to my attention that the only language that they can apply to that would be a slight bit accurate to their lore is Gaelic. Unfortunately this language is seen as the Celtic language, but in fact its not. In reality.. Gaelic is the language of the Scotts.
Irish people speak Gaeilge, a Goidelic Celtic language which means they share an ancestry with Scotland, yet these two languages are completely different. The four languages spoken throughout the British Isles are English, Welsh, Gaelic, and Gaeilge. Yet.. Gaelic seems to be the only one that can be applied to.
As someone who is very proud of their heritage, and strives to be as good at speaking the language that was once illegal to speak... I find this quite discouraging. My language is beautiful, and the fact it has been condensed into an umbrella term for people to use, I feel as though I need to speak up.
I find that the same thing can be said for some more languages, myself finding an example from my personal experience. The languages of the Philippines have been condensed into Filipino... whereas if my character was able to be 100% accurate to her lore, she would speak Tagalog.
I understand that if the staff team attempted to include EVERY language within the lands, it would be a very large work load. But I cannot sit back and be quiet when it comes to my language, and I feel very strongly about it.
How will this benefit the server and community?:
It would allow those who have created characters that speak Gaeilge to be accurate. It discourages me when my two friends who have Irish characters tell me about how they can speak Gaelic, as that is not the language of my country. It would be a new addition those who create such characters can apply to their ocs, and be accurate as they are doing it.
