Seo nasc chuig bunachar sonraí úr fá dtaobh don Bhriotáinis dhúchasach : sleachta comhráití le cainteoirí dúchais, i gcanúintí éagsúla,le trascríbhinn agus le haistriúchán (i bhFraincis amháin fá láthair, gabhaigí mo leithscéal).
Tá seo giota beag taobh amuigh don toipic, ach i ndeireadh na dála, is teangaidh Cheilteach an Bhriotáinis fosta, agus thiocfadh aithris a dhéanamh air lena leithéid do bhunachar sonraí a dhéanamh fá choinne Ghaeilg na Gaeltachta !

Here is a link to a newly created database about native Breton : excerpts of conversations with native speakers, in several dialects, with a transcription and a translation (only in French now, sorry).
A bit off-topic, but after all, Breton is a Celtic language too, and it might be a good model to follow to create such database with Gaeltacht Irish !

Go raibh maith agat, a Lughaidh. Is deocair teacht ar fhoinse mhaith Bhriotáinise gan cabhair ó shaoi as
an mBriotáin.

Ní cheapaim go bhfuil sé ar chor ar bith mar tá an ceart agat, a chara, It seems like a great resource. I haven't a clue what it all means, but I can follow the logic of how it works and the best of luck to them with it. It seems like the kind of project that someone could get a grant to do if they could get the man/woman/person power to do it in Ireland.

Actually, nobody gave us a red penny to make that database nor the recordings nor anything. And we didn't ask but we prefer to be poor and free Doesn't prevent from doing good job

Now there's an idea for a tattoo!

All I am saying is that if a native speaker, or group of speakers, here decided to do an Irish language version, they well be able to get a grant from someone as added incentive (if added incentive were needed).

Not very difficult actually: take recordings of Gaeltacht speakers, cut them (the recordings ) into excerpts, transcribe them and translate them.

Now you need an online database system, but I guess any computer scientist can do that; ours is a student in computer-treatment of linguistic stuff.
