The Rosses (officially known by its Irish language name, ''Na Rosa'';〔(Placenames (Ceantair Ghaeltachta) Order 2004 )〕 in the genitive case ''Na Rosann'') is a geographical and social region in the west of County Donegal, Ireland, with a population of over 7,000 centred on the town of Dungloe, which acts as the educational, shopping and civil centre for the area. Defined by physical boundaries in the form of rivers, as well as history and language use, the area has a distinctive identity, separate from the rest of Donegal. The extensive region lies between the parish of Gweedore to the north and the town of Glenties to the south. A large part of the Rosses is in the Gaeltacht, which means that Irish is the spoken language. The Rosses, Cloughaneely and Gweedore, known locally as "''the three parishes''" with 16,000 Irish speakers, together form a social and cultural region different from the rest of the county, with Gweedore serving as the main centre for socialising and industry.〔http://www.donegaldemocrat.ie/news/cloughaneely_1_1986720〕〔http://www.letterkennypost.com/2007/05/page/2/〕 Gaeltacht an Láir is another Irish-speaking area. ==Irish language== The following is a list of electoral divisions in the area: # An Clochan Liath (1,785) (15%) # Anagaire (2,138) (55%) # Arainn Mhor (529) (62%) # Inis Mhic an Doirn (1,410) (9%) # An Duchoraidh (78) (34%) # Leitir Mhic an Bhaird (650) (19%) # An Machaire (615) (15%) # Cro Bheithe (170) (60%) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Rosses」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
