    Share Share Post
    Fuair mé na píosa seo a leanas 15 bliadhain o shoin ó fhear darbh ainm Cuimín ó Cluan Dealgáin, Dúnmor. Tá sé imthighthe ar shlighe na bFírinne le fada an lá. Bhí sé 'na shean fhear - thar an ceithre scór nuari a thug sé na píosa dom agus bhí giotai annseo 's annsiúd imthighthe as a chuimhne.
    Bhí sé muinnteardha le Cormac Dall File Seacrán an cheanntair seo, agus de bhrigh go raibh droch cháil ar Chormac níor mhaith leis an sean fhear seo admháil go raibh aon bhaint aige le Cormac. Ba deacar cainnt a bhaint as (i n-aimheóin ruainín tobac agus blogaim beag) agus dá luaidhfeá Cormac Dall bhí tú réidh leis.
    Sgríobh mé síos cuid de na focla de réir fuaim

    "Is milis an teanga an Gaedilge
    glór gré glinn gasta
    Sámh, Súirc, Súlt blasta
    'Sí an Amhairis ? an teanga is sine
    'Sí an Laidin is fearr le foghluim
    Ortha ariamh ní ghabhfaimid
    D'aon fhocal amháin de congnadh "
