Thread Name: Pronunciation of Irish language
Subject: RE: Pronunciation of Irish language
Mick is right on the nail for one pronunciation of the word.

In a different dialect, more Munster I think, it would be more like G-yurr-ee-ah.

The language can sound differently in the local accents of the area it is spoken, so there's rarely one right answer to questions like this.

And if Dave in NZ is still waiting for an answer after all these years ádh Mór is pronounced Awe (as in John Wayne) More or Moore (depending on the dialect again).
