@@Kai88988 Mutations is the main reason, which exists in all modern Celtic languages (like Welsh, Breton, etc.). Irish is a completely different language with its own orthography system. I am not Irish, so here is just what I observe: if a consonant follows with "h" (like the "mh"), mutation happens! (in the case of "m", into "v"/"w") Lastly, I think the vowels are also not pronounced as they are. For Caoimhe for example, the "aoi" is pronouned "ee" or "uee" for some reason. Maybe it's like English: "aoi" is pronounced as "A-yoy" in ancient times, but speakers changed while the spelling remained. I don't know for sure...

Oh boy off to a great start - “Irish is a different language”.

I am Italian, so even pronouncing "John" feels like forcing my mouth to produce an almost alien sound (yeah, our phonetics is unbelievably different!). After some years I've got used to how English sounds and to how the spelling often seems to be almost completely unrelated to the pronounciation, to the point that sometimes you just can't guess how to read a word unless someone tells you how it should be pronounced and this is so strange to me, coming from a Language where every single letter of the alphabet is always pronounced in the exact same way (except for a handful of combinations such as "gn", "gl", "ch"). Then I watch this video and now I know English is a walk in the park in comparison to Irish! I guessed every single name wrong. And in a couple of cases I know I would have never guessed the right pronounciation even if I tried 20 or 50 times. Quite fascinating.
