That is how stats work. What % of the population is fluent in Irish. 5-10% is the figures I can see.

Irish is the minority language, speaking to the average person in the minority language would result in them asking you to speak in the majority language. Since the average person doesn’t speak the minority language.

    Asking somebody 'what percent would they put it at', is not how stats work.

    Irish is the native language. Majority of Ireland would agree that Irish is the language of Ireland, no matter.

    Also, your reply there is making the same point I made in the op. So now you are just posting shit for the sake of it.

    Aye it is ya spoon. I’m assuming since you don’t think it’s a nonsense thing to map you must’ve had better references showing it was widely popular and understandable.

    Majority doesn’t speak Irish, so the official majority language should be used.

    My reply was making the point that it was a nonsense thing to map since the answer is predictable. Tell me, what would be the average Irish persons response if you walked up to them and started speaking Irish?

    Jaysus. If I have to explain to you how stats work there's "literally" no hope for you. 🙄

    The official native language would be chosen by the majority as the official language, as per 2022 and 2016. Especially in the context of the visual used for this thread Your reply was nonsense crap, then You made the point that I had already made in my first post.

    At a guess, it would be the same as any person when a randomer walked up to them and started talking. However if they were to approach them and talk without any proper identity and start putting on a shitty accent, repeating things over to make the same point and saying things like "literally" to attempt to make a point, I guess they would see them as the simpleton they are and either give them a lollipop and a pat on the head, or walk away.

    I have a degree in stats you thick cunt. Work on the reading comprehension.

    Official languages are English and Irish.

    90% don’t speak Irish. Their reaction would be ‘speak English ya weapon’ obviously. Enough of your pish. Away fling shite at the moon.
