How Deaf People Think
Today I found out how deaf people think in terms of their “inner voice”. It turns out, this varies somewhat from deaf person to deaf person, depending on their level of deafness and vocal training. Those who were born completely deaf and only learned sign language will, not surprisingly, think in sign language. What is surprising is those who were born completely deaf but learn to speak through vocal training will occasionally think not only in the particular sign language that they know, but also will sometimes think in the vocal language they learned, with their brains coming up with how the vocal language sounds. Primarily though, most completely deaf people think in sign language. Similar to how an “inner voice” of a hearing person is experienced in one’s own voice, a completely deaf person sees or, more aptly, feels themselves signing in their head as they “talk” in their heads.

Immram
Brendan discovering the Faroes and Iceland Stamp sheet FR 252–253 of Postverk Føroya Issued: 18 April 1994 Artist: Colin Harrison An immram (/ˈɪmrəm/; plural immrama; Irish: iomramh, IPA: [ˈʊmˠɾˠəw], voyage) is a class of Old Irish tales concerning a hero's sea journey to the Otherworld (see Tír na nÓg and Mag Mell). Written in the Christian era and essentially Christian in aspect, they preserve elements of Irish mythology. The immrama are identifiable by their focus on the exploits of the heroes during their search for the Otherworld, located in these cases in the islands far to the west of Ireland. Definition[edit] The immrama are generally confused with a similar Irish genre, the echtrae or "adventure". Stories[edit] Originally there were seven officially recognised Immram listed in a list of ancient texts[citation needed]. Origins[edit] One of the first Celticists, Heinrich Zimmerman, attempted to link the immram with the Aeneid and the Odyssey. Influence[edit] Irish author C.

History of the Irish language
Early history[edit] The history of the Irish language begins with the arrival of speakers of Celtic languages in Ireland. This predates the recorded history of the island and is an open question, debated by linguists and archaeologists. Some scholars put the earliest date at ca. 1200 BC,[2] while others posit dates between 2600 and 2000 BC.[3] Primitive Irish[edit] The earliest written form of the Irish language is known to linguists as Primitive Irish.[4] Primitive Irish is known only from fragments, mostly personal names,[5] inscribed on stone in the Ogham alphabet. Old Irish[edit] Old Irish first appears in the margins of Latin manuscripts as early as the 6th century. Middle Irish[edit] Middle Irish is the form of Irish used from the 10th to 12th centuries; it is therefore a contemporary of late Old English and early Middle English. Early Modern Irish[edit] Queen Elizabeth I encouraged the use of Irish even in the Pale with a view to promoting the reformed religion.

Gaelic Ireland
Gaelic Ireland was a Gaelic political and social order that existed in Ireland from sometime in prehistoric era until the early 17th century. Before the Norman invasion of 1169, Gaelic Ireland comprised the whole island. Thereafter, it comprised that part of the country not under English or at least foreign dominion at a given time. For most of its history, Ireland was a 'patchwork'[1] hierarchy of territories ruled by a hierarchy of kings or chiefs, who were elected by a system known as tanistry. Gaelic-Irish culture was initially pagan and was mainly based on an oral tradition, although inscription in the ogham alphabet began in the protohistoric period, perhaps as early as the 1st century BCE. In the 9th century, the Vikings began raiding and founding settlements along Ireland's coasts and waterways. In 1542, Henry VIII of England declared the Lordship a Kingdom and himself King of Ireland. Culture and society[edit] An Irish bronze reliquary from the 7th or 8th century Paganism[edit]

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was a great Irish poet, and a winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature (1923). He is also one of my personal favorites. Many of his best poems (as of 2004) are not yet in the public domain. The ones that follow are. The Lake Of Innisfree Maid Quiet The Folly Of Being Comforted Never Give All The Heart No Second Troy Peace Against Unworthy Praise A Friend's Illness To A Friend Whose Work Has Come To Nothing Two Years Later Fallen Majesty The Wild Swans At Coole An Irish Airman Foresess His Death The Living Beauty A Deep-Sworn Vow The Balloon Of The Mind The Second Coming The Lake Isle Of Innisfree I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree, And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made: Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee, And live alone in the bee-loud glade. And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow, Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings; There midnight's all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
