Answer:
The inability to understand the language
Explanation:
Ireland has a fascinating culture and language. In addition to English, the Irish also speak the ancient Irish language, known as Irish Gaelic, one of the heritage of Celtic culture. Yes, Ireland has two official languages, English and Gaelic. The latter was the main language of the country before the English invaded the island during the Middle Ages. However, according to statistics from the last census, only 2% of the country's population speak Gaelic today.
The English language was brought to Ireland by the English, from the thirteenth century. However, the use of English was never an imposition and it happened gradually and naturally. The establishment of the English language in this country was most influenced by the inability to understand the language and the need for communication between people.
Gaelic, the native language of the Irish, was spoken by the poorest and least learned strata of society. As English became the language used in business and, consequently, in political and commercial transactions, it eventually expanded into the country.
