Tá sé deacair! Ní raibh ach 6 as 11 ceart agam.

Is deacair iad, cinnte. Níorbh aithne agam ar Romanash, Catalan, Sardinian (Portugese, fiú) ar chor ar bith

I got them all right! It helps that once you've chosen one language, you have a smaller pool to choose from for the rest.

Also, you're cheating - one of them was French, so I knock a mark off. You got 10/11.

I wonder if I can say that choose is roghnaigh. I think other dialects may not require a gh there - but it affects the case in Munster.

rogh = /rou/
romh or rómh = /ro:/

roghnaigh = /rounig'/.

or maybe - cuir ainm ar an dteangain?

That was a spelling error; I've corrected it now.
