Irish

People of Irish culture from Ireland or those of Irish descent. The Irish mainly speak English, though there are approximately 30,000–100,000 speakers of Irish Gaelic (see Gaelic language), a Celtic language belonging to the Indo-European family.

Celtic tribes, the ancestors of the Irish, migrated to Ireland about 300 BC. Later known as Gaels (Irishmen), they settled on the Isle of Man and southwestern Scotland, and established colonies in western Wales, Devon, and Cornwall.
