Hi there!
What's the pronunciation of the name "Cu Chulain"?
Koo cullen.
This reminds me why I was disappointed with Irish Gaelic
pronunciation when I first heard it -- it sounds English.
No it doesn't.
Well, not compared to English of course,
Phew.
but the "c" in the above pronunciation is what you get
from our *nglish friends in similar words, eg in Scottish
Gaelic place names -- unlike the local pronunciation here.
Possibly. I could point you in the direction of a few Gaelgeoiri whose
pronunciations do not mirror English ones though.
Waht a fjuckwit.
