I’m writing a character for a project of mine. It takes place in the 1920s to 1930s. Her name is Eibhlin I wanted to know if it’s pronounced like Evelyn.

As an Austrian English learner I thought that English words have the most difficult spelling. But now I've just noticed that there's a language with a much more difficult spelling 😊 Thanks for the Teaching!

Your video should be much more popular. I find it charming and informative, great for both presentation and content. Thank you.

Anglicising a native name ruins it. Ah well that's progress. For an Englishman I did well getting 50% correct. Way-hay!! A really good video as your explanations of the roots of names made it more interesting for me. Bye Big Tone in Derbyshire.

I'm pregnant and I'm really enjoying all your videos of Irish names. If you are making any future content re names would you be able to cover Ailbhe, Blinne and Saorlaith?

😂 it gets easier to figure out once you know the basics of Irish, like their was no letter ''v' in the alphabet so 'mh' or 'bh' makes the v sound. It's the different dialects that make it tricky 😊💕

I would call my daughters a irish name just to mess up with the brain of the teachers 😂 but joke aside love the irish names its gorgeous and since im from Québec those beautiful names are unfortunately never heard of here

I scored an absolute 0 😂 Not once my pronunciation was right. Not even close !

Do Irish people care if traditional Irish names are spelt phonetically e.g. Tige rather than Tadgh or Sive rather than Sadhbh? I am Australian with Irish ancestry and would love to use an Irish baby name but am not sure about using the proper Irish spelling when no one here would know how to pronounce it.

Most old Irish names have been respelt throughout the years to simplify it. I don't think anyone's too precious about the spelling, so go for it! 😊💕

I will one day meet a girl with one of these names and ask her how it's pronounced.

Why did Irish people abandon the Irish language and adopt the English language?

@user-fh1rz1uq6c

10 күн бұрын

Ireland was completely conquered, and colonised by the English and lowland Scottish in the 17th century, after which the Irish language was effectively banned from any kind of official use, with the effect that Irish was replaced by English in most parts of Ireland by the second half of the 19th century.

From what I see Irish spelling is all guesswork it's pronounced totally different from what it's written it's ridiculous it's like you see a toilet bowl and think it's a stove or you see a refrigerator and think it's a hair blower. Don't get me wrong I love Ireland in fact my godmother was Irish Lol...I have Deep Respect For Ireland. It is that non sensical spelling. It is insane. Like spelling car as bhailaithwrait...but pronounced car...or harmanheirdoerdeer pronounced silleth. It is just ridiculous. Just make Chinese style characters for letters...take the guess work out of it.

The pronunciation doesn't match English pronunciations, but it is totally consistant in Irish. Its far more consistent than English is, which is all over the place

There is no guess work if you learn what each set of letters means. English is far more confusing (see: Kansas and Arkansas for example, and 100s of other cases just like that).
