I hate to ask this! Could some kind soul point me to a phonetic version of "Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se"? (I would say: A-gus fah-guy-mid sigh-ud mar atta see.)I would like very much to find a clear description of Irish pronunciation. I am at a loss, entirely, to understand why Irish is so hard to pronounce. It seems to me to be because the Roman alphabet and English "pronunciation rules" are employed. It is like reading Lakota only it is much more difficult to grasp the "rules". Was Irish a written language before the Roman alphabet? Cherokee has it's own letters for certain sounds, does Irish?
