How Irish and English compare

Shared writing system

Irish and English are both written in Latin, so the translated output uses characters you already recognise. You can usually read the result aloud without transliteration, though spelling conventions and accented characters still differ.

Related languages

Both Irish and English belong to the Indo-European language family. Related languages tend to share vocabulary roots and comparable sentence structure, which generally makes machine translation between them more reliable — though false friends, words that look alike but mean different things, are also more common between relatives.

Sentence structure changes

Irish follows verb-subject-object (VSO) order while English follows subject-verb-object (SVO). The translator has to rebuild each sentence rather than substitute words in place, so the output will not line up word-for-word with your input. Splitting long sentences improves accuracy.

Speakers

Irish: Approximately 170,000-250,000 speakers worldwide, with about 73,000 daily speakers in Ireland's Gaeltacht regions. English: Approximately 1.5 billion people speak English to varying degrees of proficiency, with around 360 million native speakers.
