Irish is the main language to have originated from within the island, while others have been introduced through foreign settlement. Since the later nineteenth century, English has been the predominant first language: a large minority claim some ability to use Irish, although it is the first language only of a small percentage of the population. Under Bunreacht na hEireann, the Irish constitution, both languages have official status, with Irish being the national and first official language.
