LGBTQ Terminology in the Celtic Languages

Image
As it is LGBTQ History Month in the United Kingdom, here at the Association of Celtic Students of Ireland and Britain, we wanted to take a moment to celebrate the diverse community of speakers and learners of Celtic languages by exploring the growing lexicon of LGBTQ terms in the Celtic languages. If you are an ally or are LGBTQ yourself, here you can find a quick overview of terms to bolster your personal vocabulary with more inclusive language to make everyone feel welcome in our community. And, most importantly, if you know any additional or alternative terminology, we would love to hear from you in our comments section below! Cymraeg  Welsh brings a broad LGBTQ vocabulary, with what you can see here only being a selection of the extensive list offered by Stonewall Cymru which you can find here . Masculine Pronoun: Fe. Feminine Pronoun: Hi. Neutral Pronoun: Nhw. Anneuaidd Non-binary Anrhywiol Asexual Aromantig Aromanti

Learning Breton / Deskiñ brezhoneg

     Demat deoc’h ! I have the immense pleasure of sharing with you, within the Learning Celtic Languages series, resources on how to learn Breton. This Celtic language from outside the British Isles, is a Brythonic language, thus partial intercomprehension does exist with Welsh and more so Cornish. Today, standardised Breton, or peurunvan , is composed of KLT and Gwenedeg. KLT stands for Kerne-Leon-Treger which were the main bishoprics of Lower Brittany. Gwenedeg, or vannetais, is spoken in Bro-Wened and is known as the most linguistically conservative form of Breton, it’s writing, pronunciation and certain words differ from that of KLT.      Nota bene: Upper Brittany is everything not highlighted in bright colours on the map below, this is where people speak Gallo – the second language of Brittany. Similar to the relationship between Scots and Scottish Gaelic, Gallo is a langue d’oïl with an estimation of 191,000 speakers (2012). Map taken from Atlas de Bretagne (2011), showing th

Pride Month: Medieval Ireland

Image
With Pride Month kicking off this week, those of us here at the Association of Celtic Students thought we should celebrate it in a way that only we can: with obtuse amounts of very niche academic knowledge! Since we have already covered LGBTQ vocabularies for Celtic languages , today I am here to talk to you all about two of my biggest passions, medieval Ireland and historical queerness. Historical queerness is often a topic that is challenging to engage with, especially as a non-academic. While there have always been transgender people, intersex people, people who are attracted to the same sex, people who don't experience sexual attraction, or have gender expressions outside of modern binaries, tracking down examples of these historical figures can be challenging. Some wheres and whens, people like this couldn't (or still can't) publicly express themselves for fear of reprisal in one form or another, leaving historical attestations rare and uncertain. In some wheres and wh
