* Go raibh maith agat, [[Úsáideoir:Ériugena|Ériugena]]. Could you please answer my question (if you know the answer, of course)? I know there are three main dialects of Irish Gaelic. Are they really not mutually intelligible? I know that, for example, the speakers of different Basque dialects hardly understand each other; I myself usually understand the standard Basque variant more or less but I have never succeeded to understand any of the Basque dialects well (the same with the dialects of German).

*No! Dialects do not present any problems, because of the famialarity that people have had listening to the media (TV and radio) wher all dialects get represented. Most speakers of the language are L2 speakers and most of these use the ''Caighdeán'' or ''Standard'' variety. Having said this, it is said that most languages ''live in their dialects'', and so it is important that they survive, given that they act as a bulwark in the maintenance or eventual survival of the dominant or standard form/variety!
