Irish language

Signage in the Irish language

The Irish language (Gaeilge) is the Celtic Human language originating in the Earth region of Ireland. Irish is one of three modern Gaelic languages, a subgroup of Celtic, including Scottish Gaelic and Manx.

Irish language signage was used in the holodeck village of Fair Haven. (VOY: "Fair Haven", "Spirit Folk").

For example:

  • Cuan Soineanta: fair (weather) harbor / refuge. Irish name for town of Fair Haven
  • Oifig an Phoist: post office
  • Fáilte: welcome, on sign outside pub
  • Fáilte a Thaistealaí Thuirseach [sic]: Welcome Weary Traveler. Note error on sign as printed. Sign should read Fáilte a Thaistealaí Thuirsigh
  • Siopa Búistéara: butcher's shop

Irish was also used for the name of the Bringloidi, an Irish-like people encountered by the USS Enterprise-D. The name derives from the Irish brionglóidí, meaning dreams. (TNG: "Up The Long Ladder")
