It never occurred to me that tweeting would empower languages. Languages that were once withering in numbers and dying now have the ability to connect with other like speakers around the world. The video exemplifies the beauty of how Irish speakers interact online, among other indigenous languages. What was also interesting, is to witness how social media is becoming a catalyst for the evolution of language. Tweeting, posting, and sharing doesn't require a finesse with any particular language, and most posts and/or tweets are not bound by a set of strict grammatical rules and fashions, in comparison to regular social settings and furthermore in various professional settings.
