gaelic

A language once prominent in many areas of Britain before the English took over and tried to force it out, which sadly happened over time, being almost completally phased out in the 1930s. Today many North Americans with far back Irish roots go around thinking they are Irish 100% and attempt to learn Gaelic, but quickly turn away learning that this language is even less related to English than German.

Gaelic: Is cailín álainn atá inti.
German: Sie ist ein schönes Mädchen.

In English the sentence is "She is a beautiful girl", it's pretty easy to see which of the two languages is easier to understand.
