supports: West Cork is a cultural region in County Cork, Ireland. The main difference between it and the rest of Cork, is that the Gaelic culture and Irish language had a longer independent existence there than the much of the rest of the county. This was because the Norman FitzGerald family conquered what is today north and east Cork from the Gaelic Kingdom of Desmond starting in the 13th century, calling themselves "Earl of Desmond", while the Mac Cárthaigh and allied Gaelic families held out in the west until the 16th century and the Tudor period. The Tudor period is the period between 1485 and 1603 in England and Wales and includes the Elizabethan period which ends with the completion of the reign of Elizabeth I in 1603. The Tudor period coincides with the rule of the Tudor dynasty in England whose first monarch was Henry VII (14571509). In terms of the entire century, Guy (1988) argues that "England was economically healthier, more expansive, and more optimistic under the Tudors" than at any time in a thousand years. County Cork is the largest and southernmost county in Ireland. It lies in the province of Munster and is named after the city of Cork. Cork County Council is the local authority for the county. Its largest settlements are Cork City, Ballincollig and Carrigaline. In 2016, the county's population was 542,196, making it the second most populous county in Ireland. Ballinascarty ( Irish : Béal na Scairte ) , also known as Ballinascarthy , is a village in West Cork , Ireland . The Kingdom of Desmond was a historic kingdom located on the southwestern coast of Ireland. The name is Irish in origin  "Deas-Mhumhain"  which means "South Munster". The Kingdom of Desmond originated in 1118, based on the Treaty of Glanmire, when the major parts of the prior Kingdom of Munster fractured into the Kingdom of Desmond and the Kingdom of Thomond (meaning "North Munster"). The title of Earl of Desmond has been held historically by lords in Ireland, first as a title outside of the peerage system and later as part of the Peerage of Ireland. Irish, also referred to as Gaelic or Irish Gaelic, is a Goidelic language of the Indo-European language family originating in Ireland and historically spoken by the Irish people. Irish is spoken as a first language by a small minority of Irish people, and as a second language by a rather larger group of non-native speakers. Irish enjoys constitutional status as the national and first official language of the Republic of Ireland, and is an officially recognised minority language in Northern Ireland. It is also among the official languages of the European Union. The public body Foras na Gaeilge is responsible for the promotion of the language throughout the island of Ireland.
