I have seen it all now.

Our industrious and ever adaptable Chinese cousins are now trying a new marketing method of reaching their clients in Ireland...by spam emailing us in our ancient proud and less-frequently spoken language Gaeilge!

Gaelige, although being the oldest vernacular literature in Western Europe and the language that gave rise to Gaelic speech in other countries, notably Scotland and the Isle of Man, began to decline in use under British use in the seventeenth century. Estimates of native speakers are now as low as 50,000.

Meanwhile, the People's Republic of China has become the world's second-largest economy, after the United States by both nominal GDP and purchasing power parity. China is also the world's fastest-growing economy, with an average growth rate of 10% for the past 30 years. China is also the second-largest trading nation in the world and the largest exporter of goods.

"Maith sibh tSín a chaomhnú ár dteanga ach tá mé náire a rá nach féidir liom a léamh an t-iarratas faoi Léasair. An féidir leat le do thoil ar aghaidh sé dom i mBéarla".

"Fair play to you China for preserving our language but I am embarrassed to say that I can't read the request about lasers. Can you please forward it to me in English!!"
