Notes This poem alludes to the minoritization of the Manchu language in China and subsequent attempts at its revitalization. There is an explicit reference in the poem to the marginalization of native speakers of the language in revitalizing initiatives. There may be a comparison to Irish-language revitalization initiatives implied, although this is a matter of interpretation. Many of Ní Ghearbhuigh's poems included in this dataset can be discussed in the wider context of political and cultural rights.
