When the Irish started using Roman letters, they apparently did it in a way to spite the Romans.

@Twittler1

Lots of letters in the Roman alphabet have different sounds in different languages, even though most European languages are from the same family, starting off with one language, proto indo- european (aryan) about 6-7000 years ago around the black and caspian seas. Magyar (Hungarian), Suomi (Finnish), and Euzkadi (Basque) are the exceptions. ‘C’ can be like s or k or ch. I is frequently ee or uhn (the n is silent- it’s there to remind you to breathe out the h). O is often oo. W doesn’t exist in some - it’s pronounced v in German, as is v itself. The irish alphabet has only 19 letters. No j, k, q, v, w, y, or z. And so on. Irish is actually the closest living relative in structure, grammar and usage to ladin, a direct, little altered descendant of latin, spoken only in NE italy, sw austria and se switzerland by a small number of people. The people who became the romans were very close culturally and linguistically to the people who became the celts.

An important thing to know is that the traditional Irish alphabet is quite different from that in England. When we won independence, the nation was flat broke and stuck with the English Civil Service’s typewriters, so the language was given a major overhaul to try and fit; hence the often weird spelling- it’s like dancing in another man’s shoes.

That's because for many centuries Irish was largely a spoken language, with a seanchaí (storyteller) travelling around telling mystical tales and spreading the spoken language further. It wasn't until about the 4th or 5th Century that a form of writing was developed. MsG

Thanks for this. There are some beautiful names here. I really love the name Siobhan and always have. So happy you included it here.

Loved the video! Irish names are so wonderful, the spelling is a bit tricky but you only have to learn it once to be able to read those and similar words, because the Irish spelling is consistent (as opposed to English). The meanings of the names and the pronunciation are just soooo beautiful. Thanks again ❤
