This week's feature looks at political sensitivity surrounding languages in Northern Ireland. The representation of the Irish language in the six counties has become a contentious issue, as the nationalist Sinn Fein party are demanding that a new law be put in place to protect the tradition, if they are to restore the power-sharing executive at Stormont. Meanwhile the unionist community are seeking to keep the Ulster-Scots tongue relevant as the nation's demographics are shifting towards Catholicism.
