M'alt faoin Ghaeilge san Irish Times Dé Sathairn

D'fhoilsigh mé alt san Irish Times Dé Sathairn seo caite faoi chanúint chathrach na Gaeilge agus an chaoi ina bhfuil sí ag scarúint ó chanúintí na Gaeltachta.

I published an article in the Irish Times on Saturday studying how the urban dialect of Irish is diverging from the Gaeltacht dialects.
