I'm unhappy with this sentence, it just doesn't make too much sense."English is spoken by virtually everyone in Ulster, apart from a few immigrants living in the province, and a handful of monoglots in the Donegal Gaeltacht." It's the bit about monoglots, which in the context makes no sense because the majority of people in Northern Ireland and indeed Ulster are monoglots only speaking English. They are as much monoglots as in Donegal Gaeltacht.Ben W Bell 10:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I'm concerned that the use of Londonderry and Derry interchangeably could be confusing to outsiders to this topic and could make them think they are two different places. I propose that we should just use one or the other to avoid confusion. (I think, from what I know from this topic that as a city inNorthern Ireland it is referred to as Londonderry, but as a city on the island ofIreland it is referred to as Derry. So really, similar toGdansk and Danzig, as well as every other case I have heard its name comes from whichever country it is inside of. But, the wiki page for this place is calledDerry, so I don't know, either way this doesn't nullify my argument.)AlessandroTiandelli333 (talk)21:15, 9 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The history section is much longer than any of the others, should it have its own article?Stara Marusya (talk)15:48, 14 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Early in the article is a link to the article titled Gaeltacht, plural Gaeltachtaí ... on my browser, only the first of the two (aí) plural letters (to wit, the a and not the í) is made part of the hyperlink, though a review of the source editor doesn't suggest a reason therefor. This makes me think that Wikipedia's rendering engine isn't prepared to handle the unusual pluralization of the language; but I really don't know what's going on.Al Begamut (talk)03:04, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
