| IRISH 10 (Ceacht10) - Reminder: Because of the various dialects in Irish, most of my posts will be in Ulster (U) and Connacht (C), which will be distinguished with the appropriate letters. Also Remember: For pronunciation, the "r" has a slight roll to it, like in spanish. You roll or thrill the "r's". The pronunciation used here is in the Connemara dialect.
