Hiberno-English is the best and most aesthetic.

>and so in my mind the stream was suddenly turned into a kind of linguistic river of rivers issuing from a pristine Celto-British Land of Cockaigne, a riverrun of Finnegans Wakespeak pouring out of the cleft rock of some pre-political, prelapsarian, ur-philological Big Rock Candy Mountain—and all of this had a wonderfully sweetening effect upon me. The Irish /English duality, the Celtic/Saxon antithesis were momentarily collapsed, and in the resulting etymological eddy a gleam of recognition flashed through the synapses and I glimpsed an elsewhere of potential which seemed at the same time to be a somewhere being remembered. The place on the language map where the Usk and the uisce and the whiskey coincided was definitely a place where the spirit might find a loophole, an escape route from what John Montague has called "the partitioned intellect," away into some unpartitioned linguistic country, a region where one's language would not be a simple badge of ethnicity or a matter of cultural preference or official imposition, but an entry into further Ianguage. And I eventually came upon one of these loopholes in Beowulf itself.

Stop thinking in terms of either black or western, rather both black and western. Reforge your partitioned intellect. Reclaim your birthright.

>What is this Irish meme
It's a language. Not many people speak it anymore because we were cucked by the English.

I like to write in it because not many people online understand it so it gives me an avenue to vent.

So the only literary languages I will ever need are Russian, Irish and German?
