Ok right. I got myself a book recently which has the Cois Fhairge dialect. It has a nice sound to it. If you're looking for a Scottish dialect that is closest to Irish, then it would have to be Islay. They say for example "Gun robh math agad" for "thank you" like Irish, whereas everywhere else it tends to be "Tapadh leat."

Yes, the two languages are very similar. Irish Gaelic used to be written even more like the way Scot's Gaelic is written, but in the 1960's, they changed much of the Irish spelling in Ireland in the name of modernisation. For example, ceilí used to be spelt ceilidh (as in Scot's Gaelic). It is said that the pronunciation of some of the Ulster variety of Irish is closest to Scot's Gaelic. And Manx Gaelic is also very similar to the other two too!

There's actually not that much difference between the dialects at all. There's just a like difference in pronunciation sometimes or occasionally a different word used, etc. But the point of dialects shouldn't be exaggerated. Nowadays, speakers of the 3 dialects intermix and understand each other perfectly. The standard Irish (Caighdéan oifigiúil) is the best one to learn if you're a beginner. That's the one taught in schools and the one most learner books use. Beir bua!

Hi, I speak Scottish Gaelic, and I can understand quite a lot of Irish. I want to learn to speak it however. I found the phrases on this video were not so different at all from the pronunciation in Scots.
Failte romhat....almost the same
Dun an doras etc
Gabh mo lethsgeul
However, when I listen to TG4 sometimes I find it very difficult to understand fully, and I'm wondering if there are dialects used there that are quite a bit different from Scots Gaelic. Do you know?

Beautiful, thanks. Out of curiosity, which dialect are we hearing on these videos? The choice of dialect to learn is difficult. I have perused Learning Irish by Mihail O'Siadhail, which is different, I think.

that's Munster Irish on most of these videos. I don't know much about O'Siadhail except that he's a Dublin man so I can't help you much there. The best way to choose a dialect is to listen to them all and choose which ever one sounds most familiar to you - as in, being able to recognise sounds and words.
