Loved this video! Could you do one about the Abenaki-Penobscot language? It is very beautiful, and there is currently a revival project happening

The yola flag is also the flag of County wexford where Yola was spoken. It is interesting to look at yola and see its loans to Hiberno-English and Ulster scots, for example vorgee (forgive) sounds similar to the way people around me would pronounce forgive, sort of like forgae.

Yeah, it's an awesome flag. I didn't think it'd have a huge influence on Ulster Scots given the geography but that's still cool

A really interesting channel! Yola is so little known that I remember my father assumed some odd words an phrases he heard spoken by English speaking Wexford soldiers during the 1940s emergency were Norman French. The long persistance of Yola in South-East Ireland prompts this question: Does the English spoken in the South-East derive in part from medieval Anglo-Saxon, while the English spoken in the rest of Ireland derives from readily identifiable and datable influxes of speakers of more modern English/Scots, mostly during the 17th century? I've noted that my own ancestors from the South-East, Native-Irish, Viking, & 18th century English immigrants, seem to have been exclusively English speaking from, perhaps, 1700 to 1900, and to have used Gaelic increasingly as a second language through the 20th century.

@CheLanguages

Жыл бұрын

Yes, more or less. First of all, that's a great anecdote, as Yola is more influenced by Norman French than modern English. But yes, Yola plus derived from Middle English, whereas Hiberno-English (Irish English) comes from Modern English. This is because the English colonization of Ireland took place in many different stages over the centuries. Yola is the product of the first one, which was actually a Norman invasion, but saw many English settlers relocated there as a result.

Just to avoid the spread of misinformation I'd like to make you aware of several things. The Yola revival movement does not exist in Ireland. It is almost exclusively an online phenomenon operating mainly through the Gabble ing Yola discord server, which is headed by a person who has not set foot in Ireland. This person is in no position to authoritatively speak about the status of the Yola language as they are not part of the Forth and Bargy community and have been consistently unable to provide sources on any of their claims. Namely, they are unable to provide a source on Jack Devereux despite, in their words, the fact it's "common knowledge" amongst the Forth and Bargy locals (How would he know this? I don't know because he has never been to Ireland). If such a fact were well known we'd expect that local news sources would write about it, they haven't. In fact Devereux worked as an informant for several published articles on linguistics pertaining to Forth and Bargy dialectology in a work trying to reconstruct the local Irish, and he is not mentioned as a native Yola speaker in that work (a very important thing that would not go unsaid in a serious publication). Additionally they have vandalised the Wikipedia page to suit their agenda. As per usual, they have not provided a single source outside of their own website, which estimates the progress of the Yola revival based on their discord membership, none of which are from forth and Bargy, and only a handful of which can speak Yola to any capacity. Needless to say this isn't a good method of ascertaining the speaker pool of a language, and nor is it a good measure of a revival movement either as none of those involved have physical connections to the locality or community this language was important to. I think it's quite generous to call something a revival movement when it consists solely of non Yola people who have no connection to the area making these claims and heading a movement that was never theirs to start. They are appropriating the history of an area to fulfill their fantasies of playing dress up as language revitalists. I think this is wrong for numerous reasons; they are not from the area so this is not their movement to initiate, they are spreading misinformation about the language, and they are taking what is a very serious and personal thing to the communities that engage in language revitalisation and playing pretend with it. If you want to discuss this topic further I can provide you my email and/or discord and we can discuss what evidence I have. Also, please do not remove this comment. I am not posting it to be a nay-sayer or anything of the sort, I am myself revolved in language revival groups and movements. However, I simply want people to have access to the truth of the situation and I want to draw attention to the harmful and inappropriate actions towards not only the Forth and Bargy community but also to the Devereux family, who I am quite sure would not appreciate the attention that these unsubstantiated rumours could draw to them.
