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. Bertie |
