@ABOM420 It's Irish...not Gaelic...

@teeniewahine17 on-vohjin-vara

@leesyloo131 he would've pronounced it ' an wha-jin warra'
-
My Grandad was a Gaelic speaking Mayo man. How would he have pronounced it?
-
@ArchNoob77 That's because you're from Munster, Ulster Irish is quite different in pronunciation!
-
im fluent myself but i'd pronounce it vog-din vhara
-
@potentialstrangers At least your pronunciation follows the rule, which makes "d" slender when followed by "ea". That corresponds with what I've learned about it and makes me feel that I'm not wasting my time trying to learn how to read Gaelic.
-
As to the different dialects, this is a song from Donegal which is in Ulster so the Ulster dialect is the most appropriate dialect. Sportymike's suggestion as to pronounciation is pretty close to the Ulster pronounciation.
-
@teeniewahine17 It actually depends on where you are. In Scottish Gaelic it is pronounced more like 'vaitean vara'. It's amazing how close Donegal Gaelic is to Scottish, as I could understand most of the song.

Love this song!
