Focail Nua
12’ | Documentary | Completed
There are over 300 new words added to the Irish language every month.
Ireland has two full-time terminologists, whose job with the help of a 23-member voluntary expert committee is to create hundreds of new Irish words and phrases each month.
Focail Nua is a celebration of the vitality and tolerance of language, the terms accepted, those discarded and all the regional and traditional complexities in-between that make language relevant.
