Taispeántas grianghraife: Sinne Cantainisigh na hÉireann
Cantonese immigrants come from Cantonese-speaking regions of the world. Cantonese is the second most-spoken Chinese language, with 80 million speakers worldwide.
粵語移民係一班以粵語為母語嘅人。佢哋嚟自世界唔同角落。粵語係第二大華語，全球有八千萬粵語使用者。
Is inimircigh iad inimircigh Cantainis as réigiúin dhifriúla den domhan a labhraíonn Cantainis. Is í Cantainis an dara teanga Síneach is mó a labhraítear, le 80 milliún cainteoir ar fud an domhain.
These Cantonese immigrants come from a great variety of places, including Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia, Singapore, the Guangdong region of now mainland China, and many other places around the globe. Due to different reasons, socio-economical, political, and personal, they decided to emigrate to our beautiful Ireland.
呢班移民可能嚟自好多不同嘅地方，包括：香港 、澳門、馬來西亞、新加坡、今中國廣東地區，以及世界各地。由於各種原因，包括社會經濟、政治及私人理由，佢哋決定移民到我哋呢個咁靚嘅愛爾蘭。
Tagann na hinimircigh Cantainis seo go hÉirinn ó áiteanna éagsúla – Hong Cong, Macao, an Mhalaeisia, Singeapór, Guangdong i ndeisceart mhórthíre na Síne agus ó áiteanna eile ar fud na cruinne. Bíodh is go raibh chúiseanna éagsúla acu – socheacnamaíochta, polaitiúila agus pearsanta – dul ar imirce go dtí an tír aláinn seo.
The earliest Cantonese immigrants arrived in the 1950s from Hong Kong and set up restaurants or takeaways. In the 1970s, immigrants from Singapore, Taiwan and Malaysia arrived and set up different businesses. Some of these people are of Cantonese heritage and speak Cantonese. In the 1990s, students from now China, including those Cantonese speakers from Southern regions, came to study at Irish universities. Recently, the second wave of Hong Kong immigrants arrived in Ireland. These new immigrants are usually highly skilled workers who came to Ireland through employment or investor immigration programmes.
喺1950年代，香港移民就陸續嚟到愛爾蘭。呢班人大部份喺呢度開餐館或外賣店。到咗1970年代，新加坡 、台灣 、馬來西亞嘅移民就抵達愛爾蘭，佢哋喺度營商，落地生根。其中有啲係粵語使用者。到咗1990年代，嚟自今中國嘅學生相繼到愛爾蘭升讀大學，當中包括咗中國南部嘅廣府人。近呢幾年，我哋有一批第二波嘅香港移民湧到嚟愛爾蘭。呢班人大都係高技術專才，通過就業或投資移民計劃移民到愛爾蘭。
Tháinig na céad hinimircigh Cantainis go hÉirinn ó Hong Cong sna 1950aidí agus bhunaigh siad bialanna nó siopaí ‘beir leat’ anseo. Sna 1970dí, tháiinig breis inimircigh as Singeapór, Taiwan agus an Mhalaeisia anseo agus bhunaigh siad gnólachtaí éagsúla. is oidhreacht Cantainis atáag cuid de na daoine seo agus labhraíonn siad Cantainis. Sna 1990dí, thosaigh mic léinn ag teacht anseo ó Mhórthír ns Síne, ina measc cainteoirí Cantainis ó réigiuin an Deiscirt, chun staidéar a dhéanamh in ollscoileanna Eireannaigh. Le déanaí, tá an dara sruth d’inimircigh ó Hong Cong ag teacht go hEirinn. Is oibrithe ardoilte iad na hinimircigh nua seo i gcoiteanna a thagann go hÉirinn trí phairt a ghlacadh i gcláir inimirce fostaíochta agus infheisteora.
The second generation of these immigrants may be born in Ireland. They grow up like all the other children around the world. They play in the playground. They participate in sports and different activities. They eat. They celebrate birthdays, festivals…
呢批移民嘅第二代可能喺呢度出世。佢哋嘅成長故事，其實同世界各地小朋友都大同小異。佢哋會去遊樂場玩。佢哋會參與唔同嘅運動或者社區活動。佢哋會食嘢。佢哋會慶祝生日，以及其他節日……
Tá an dara ghlúin de na h-imircigh seo ag fás aníos mar aon le leanaí eile thartimpeall orthu. Imríonn siad sa chlós súgartha. Glacann siad páirt i spóirt agus i gníomhaíochtaí éagsúla, Itheann siad, céiliúrann siad breithlaethanta, féilte…
Some grow up and work in different fields. Some get married and give birth to the third generation. They integrate into our society while keeping their heritage from the Far East.
呢批人有啲已經長大成人，喺各行各業發揮所長。有啲仲結埋婚生埋仔。佢哋融入愛爾蘭嘅生活，但又或多或少保存住佢哋嘅廣東傳統文化同語言。
Fásann cuid de na daoine seo suas agus oibríonn siad i réimsí éagsúla. Pósann cuid acu agus beireann siad an tríú glúin. Comhtháthaíonn siad lenár sochaí agus coimeádann siad a n-oidhreacht ón gCianoirthear.
