I have been asked by a friend to help with getting approximate pronunciation for the following:
(I have added my guesses, but they are only guesses)

Feadha,
(either Fay-ah or Fay-gh-ah)


Aicme,
(Ah -kuh -muh)



Craobh,
(K-ray-v)

Fleasg,
(no idea)


Ceart.
(I'd guess at somethiing like k-yer-ch)

All help would be appreciated!


Thanks

Fleasg - flasg, like flask with a 'g'.

Ceart - kyart, the 'C' is pronounced like the C in 'Carol'.

Ceart go leor.

Craobh(the place in Scotland) tends to be pronouced Croove(roughly), or occasionally Croovie. But those may Anglicisations, I don't speak Gaelic, or Irish.

Craobh is pronounced similar to "crave" (depends on the dialect)

Inis Gluaire like "inish gloo-ih-reh"

Ceart is like "K-yart"

I am familiar with Munster Irish. The other dialects, in particular Ulster, have different pronunciations.
