Glenbeigh - Gleann Beithe - Valley of the Birches Brían |

16 Oct 02 - 08:27 PM (#804951) Subject: RE: Help:Gaelic pronunciation From: diesel Ross Bay is the better of the pronunciations Don't be alarmed if you hear a Ross Beg ! Different areas will have diffeerent dialect and then there is the 'official' - which never seems to have either the local or wider sense.... rgds James |

A friend had posted this query to another list and I had hoped to have an answer when I see him later this evening. Still hoping -- Tom |

19 Oct 02 - 02:21 AM (#806505) Subject: RE: Help:Gaelic pronunciation From: Haruo I've been trying to figure out the Gaelic Christmas hymn "Seall Thall Tighinn Bhon Ear" (le Iain MacLeòid) - how the words syllabicate, and how the syllables are apportioned amongst the notes and slurs of the tune, "An t-Eilean Dorcha" (le Iain MacLachliann). Not so much because I ever expect to be a decent Gaelicist (Goideloglot?) as because I would like to translate it into both Esperanto and Japanese. Is there a reliable online source for the most basic matters of Gaelic pronunciation and syllabication (I don't care if it's "official" or "school" or local dialect, as long as it helps me map the words to the tune)? This will probably also help with the Cape Breton Christmas song once I find the tune. Haruo |

However shoot áine a PM - I've seen some translations done by her and maybe who know ? Failing all - shoot me a PM with the words and I'll see if I can get someone here in work to translate - but stay patient - it will take me a few days ! Diesel |
