''Gaeltacht Bhaile na hÉireann'' or the Permanent North American Gaeltacht ((アイルランド語:Gaeltacht Bhuan Mheiriceá Thuaidh)) is a designated Irish-speaking area in the town of Tamworth, Ontario, along the Salmon River. The nearest main township is Erinsville, Ontario. Unlike Ireland, where the term "Gaeltacht" refers to an area where Irish is the traditional language, the Permanent North American Gaeltacht has no resident native Irish speakers. The name refers instead to its being a regular meeting place for Irish speakers from North America and elsewhere. Emphasis is placed on the link with Ireland, which is considered to be the source of Irish language learning. ==History==
Erinsville was settled by the Irish, and its first five mayors were Irish.〔(McKittrick, David. "Bualadh bos... Gaeltacht goes global." ''Independent.ie.'' 18 April 2007 )〕 It is from this area that the Gaeltacht receives its official name of "Gaeltacht Bhaile na hÉireann" or "Erinsville/Town of Ireland Gaeltacht" This area is notable mainly in that it is the first and only officially sanctioned Gaeltacht (or "designated Irish-speaking area") to exist outside of Ireland. Official support for this Gaeltacht was shown during the opening ceremony, which was attended by the Irish ambassador to Canada, Declan Kelly, and by Helen Gannon of Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann.〔("GAELTACHT CHEANADA." ''BBC Northern Ireland'' June 2007. )〕 An official statement regarding this site was also released by the Irish Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Éamon Ó Cuív. In this, dated 29 May 2007, he states: "I would like to congratulate the Canadian people for establishing a Gaeltacht in Canada, the first outside of Ireland. I wish every success to your work and I hope that it will grow and develop." 〔 Also received from Mr. Ó Cuív was the approval of €20,000 (C$28,835) for the Gaeltacht, for teacher training.〔("Donegal example inspired idea for first gaeltacht outside of Ireland." ''The Donegal News'' 22 June 2007. )〕 This Gaeltacht has been featured in the news, primarily for the fact that it is the first of its kind outside of Ireland, and has been reported on by the Irish TG4,〔(TG4.ie (article now archived) )〕 the British BBC〔 and in The Globe and Mail (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/a-tongue-twisting-labour-of-love-in-canadas-gaelic-speaking-community/article593113/ ). Organizer Aralt Mac Giolla Chainnigh, when speaking with the BBC, stated that although the Irish speakers are all from very different places (Canada, Ireland, the United States) this site is one on which they may all congregate: "'It's a place where they can go when they want to regenerate their cultural batteries and, especially, to come back into contact with the language."〔
