you missed the fact that part of my reply was in phonetic gaelic as the original Q was about the gaelic song. I spelt it as I think you would pronounce it. Personally I think it sad that many minority languages are disappearing. The Government of the USA at one stage had a policy of only teaching cajun children only in English as did the GB Gov in Wales and Scotland. Today, many of our children speak Urdu, but the English Government have just changed the rules yet again on what is to be taught ( and thus valued ) by limiting the foreign languages that count towards what is deemed a good school - and urdu is not amoung them. Sad.
