MODERATORS
If Israel can invent a language and have their population speaking it natively within a couple generations, Ireland should be able to do it with its real language.
Hebrew is the one and only successful language-revival in history amidst dozens of failures.
because it was beneficial to capital to create a language on the corpse of their old one. just as it is now beneficial to capital to kill many other languages in favour of their lingua franca and intertwine their economies after more violent attempts did not work out.

https://www.marxists.org/archive//connolly/1898/10/language.htm – "The chief enemy of a Celtic revival today is the crushing force of capitalism which irresistibly destroys all national or racial characteristics, and by sheer stress of its economic preponderance reduces a Galway or a Dublin, a Lithuania or a Warsaw to the level of a mere second-hand imitation of Manchester or Glasgow. In the words of Karl Marx, “Capitalism creates a world after its own image,” and the image of Capitalism is to be found in the industrial centres of Great Britain."
Indeed, it is...
