By the way about the ghetto. Somehow a couple of years ago my wife and I watched the next scene in Ben Gurion (Tel-Aviv airport): "ZO-LO-TO, I understood? Gold," interpreted the shapeless aunt-tourist from somewhere in Saratov to the swarthy girl at the box office of the duty- Fries. The cashier did not understand her, t. Actually did not speak Russian. The aunt was in full confidence that the format of her communication, on the occasion of her appearance - should be owned by anyone she would turn to. "Where do you sell gold here, do you understand?" Here, the chunks are non-Russian. Seryozha went on a flight.

Ireland is a multilingual country. Irish (Gaelic) and English are the two official languages. Irish is used by 42% of the population. 94% speak English. For a long time Ireland was controlled by Britain, and the local language was practically not used, with the exception of some areas in the west of the country.

After the independence of the Free Irish State was proclaimed in 1922, the government sought to restore the use of the Irish language by the population. He began to teach at school, and also used along with English in public records management, road signs. However, English remains the most popular language of the country.

I somehow asked a question to an Irish acquaintance - how many Irish people live in Ireland, received the answer: we have more than 50 million. I was impressed. How can this be, because 50 million even standing will not fit in a small Ireland. And then realized that he meant ALL the Irish in the world: those who live in Ireland (about 3.6 million), and those who live in the UK (1.8 million), Canada (4.3 million), Australia (1.9 million) and the United States (36 million people).

The Irish do not separate themselves from their diaspora and generally do not share each other in any way. In the understanding of this person - the Irish, who live in the US and other countries - are one with the Irish who live on the island.

So, in regard to the ghetto: everyone himself determines his boundaries for himself.
