About Irish Language
According to Wikipedia.org, Irish is the official language of Ireland but there are Irish speakers in UK, USA, and Canada too. According to the census in 2016, around 1.76 million people speak Irish. There are around three main dialects of the Irish language. It involves Munster (An Mhumhain), Connacht (Connachta) and Ulster (Ulaidh). This language is written in Ogham alphabets while it also features Gaelic script. If we talk about the modern Irish it is written with a combination of Latin words. The spellings don’t reflect the pronunciation of various alphabets. For example ‘bia’ is known as food in English. This can change in some other dialects especially in the Munster pronunciation. There are a lot of irregularities seen in both spellings and pronunciations.
About Norwegian Language
According to Wikipedia.org, Norwegian is a North German language that is the official language in Norway. The dialect continuum of this language is similar to that of Swedish and Danish. It features local as well as regional varieties that are easy to distinguish. The native speakers are 5.32 million. This language is written in many standard forms but Nynorsk is the official one. Norwegian belongs to Indo-European and German language families. The retroflex consonants feature only in the Eastern dialect. Even the dialect of Northwestern Norwegian is quite similar to Spanish. The native speakers have a pitch accent that has two distinctive patterns just like Swedish. All the two-syllable words have identical pronunciations. As Norwegian doesn’t have accent marks it is pronounced with a simple tone.
