This is a brief account of what happened to the language of the Irish migrants who left their territory and established themselves in Argentina, the curious way they protected their identity by preserving the English language which was not their own, and how fluctuations of the Irish Language reflect the ups and downs of their slow integration into Argentine society. The second part refers to Literature. First in Irish-English and gradually in Spanish, the Irish and their descendants - William Bulfin, Kathleen Nevin, Benito Lynch and Rodolfo Walsh, among others - created a corpus of what can be called "Trish-Argentine Literature." An expanded Spanish version in book-format will be published in Buenos Aires next year.
