Rosmuc
Rosmuc or Ros Muc (formerly anglicised as Rosmuck)〔(Placenames Database of Ireland )〕 is a village in the heart of the Conamara Gaeltacht of County Galway, Ireland. It lies halfway between the town of Clifden and the city of Galway. Irish is the predominant spoken language. The District Electoral Division of Turlough, Rosmuc, state that Rosmuc is the most strongly Irish-speaking area in the country.
== History and etymology ==
It is estimated that people first settled in Rosmuc in 400, one hundred years before Naomh Briocán (Saint Briocán) brought Christianity to the area. That is to say that there are people that have been in Rosmuc for one thousand five hundred years.
It is believed that the name 'Ros Muc' comes from the old Irish "the peninsula of rounded hills", ''ros'' meaning "peninsula" and ''muc'' meaning "rounded hills" or "Pig". Alternatively, the etymology could literally be ''ros muc''—"the pig's head peninsula" (communication by boat between the area and neighbouring islands in Ceantar na nOileán being common up until the early 20th century, and the appearance of the peninsula from the sea was said to resemble that of a pig's head).
