	Irish language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The language is usually referred to in English as Irish, and less often as Gaelic (IPA: /ˈgeɪlɪk/), or Irish Gaelic though the latter term is seldom used or preferred by the Irish themselves.
		Irish is given recognition by the Constitution of Ireland as the first official language of the Republic of Ireland (with English being a second official language), despite the limited distribution of fluency among the population of that country.
		The features most unfamiliar to English speakers of the language are the orthography, the initial consonant mutations, the Verb Subject Object word order, and the use of two different forms for "to be".
