Fun with Irish Pronunciation
Permalink  

You never know what useless info you will stumble across on the Internet.  confuse  I found this website that pronounces words. Mind you, they don't have all the ones on my page: http://www.irelandyes.com/irelandplacenames.html

These are the ones I got a real kick out of:  

Fermanagh 

Cobh

Glendalough

Killarney

Killaloe

Laois

Sligo

Tara

Well...no one is perfect including me. But you've had your giggle of the day. biggrin

My wife is constantly laughing at my attempts to pronounce Irish words.

Thanks Michele, that is a riot. Loved the pronunciation of Killarney, sounds like one of the Florida Keys.

Judy, Fermanagh and Glendalough had me ROFL. They did get Drogheda correct through.

Roy, You're right. If you miss-pronounce it like that website your wife will be laughing all day too.

I did an article about this on my Blog: http://irelandyes.wordpress.com/2013/06/23/fun-pronouncing-irish-place-names/

My husband can really butcher those Irish place names. biggrin

Take a picture of the steam coming out of her ears and I will put it on my Blog. Type in some other names and see what happens. I just linked to the best of the best.
