Category:Irish obsolete terms

Irish terms that are no longer in use and not usually recognized by native speakers, but still sometimes found in older literature.

To categorize into this category, use {{tlb|ga|obsolete}} (template tlb, not lb), which should typically be placed next to the headword.

If the term is merely a variant (alternative form) of a term in general use, it should be categorized instead in [[Category:Irish obsolete forms]] (using {{obsolete form of|ga|...}} or {{obsolete spelling of|ga|...}}). If only some senses of the term are obsolete, it should be categorized instead in [[Category:Irish terms with obsolete senses]], using {{lb|ga|obsolete}} (template lb instead of tlb), which should typically be placed next to the individual sense.

Obsolete terms should be distinguished from archaic terms, which, although no longer in general use, are still occasionally used for special effect and are typically recognized by native speakers; and dated terms, which are merely unfashionable and anachronistic but still sometimes used, especially by older speakers.

The following label generates this category: obsolete term^edit. To generate this category using this label, use {{lb|ga|label}}.
