Tá mé ar buille (tah-may air bu-ill-yah) means "I am mad" (crazy or angry).

Irish is known as Irish, Gaelic, or Irish Gaelic in English. The official standard name in Irish is Gaeilge /ˈɡeːlʲɟə/. Before the 1948 spelling reform, this was spelled Gaedhilge. In Middle Irish, the name was spelled Gaoidhealg, and it was Goídelc in Old Irish.

Other regional variations of the name in modern Irish dialects include Gaedhilic, Gaeilic, Gaeilig, or Gaedhlag in Ulster and northern Connacht, and Gaedhealaing, Gaoluinn, or Gaelainn in Munster.

There are three main dialects of Irish:

Munster (An Mhumhain)
Connacht (Connachta)
Ulster (Ulaidh)

The Munster dialect is spoken mainly in Kerry (Ciarraí) and Muskerry (Múscraí) in the western part of County Cork (Contae Chorcaí).

The Connacht dialect is spoken mainly in Connemara (Conamara), the Aran Islands (Oileáin Árann), and Tourmakeady (Tuar Mhic Éadaigh) in County Mayo (Maigh Eo).

The main area where the Ulster dialect is spoken is the Rosses (na Rosa). The dialect of Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair) is essentially the same as the Ulster dialect.

Irish is so different from English or any of the languages we usually study in school, and so much about it is rather interesting and cool. Here are a few fun facts about Irish shared by Mentalfloss.com.
