Deoridhe TeaDidikai I'm painfully aware of what an anomaly I am. This isn't a bad thing.
Well... usually. I tend to disagree with I see a seven point buck charging me. But that's just a matter of personal opinion. pirate

TheDisreputableDog Speaking of Bealtaine and Imbolg, could you maybe provide the correct spellings or names for the other holidays? I've kind of picked up that the way you see them spelled most places is modernized/anglicized, but I have no Gaelic whatsoever. The first thing I'm going to say is that Gaelic is not a language. It's a sport.
Gaeilge is the word for the Irish language (known as Irish) and Scots-Gaelic is a language. It's considered offensive to use the term Gaelic, I'm not angry offended or anything, just making something known.
That aside: Imbolg or Imbolc, Pronounced Im-bull-uhg (the u is exceptionally short, most Gallachai can't say it so Im bullg will do well enough)
Bealtaine or Beltine (depending on which part of the country you're from, and I can't remember the Kerry Irish for it) Bealtaine is pronounced B-yal-tuh-na Beltine is pronounce bel-tin-na
Samhain Pronounced Sow win
Lughnasadh pronounced Loo na sa
Anyone here who speaks Irish, I'm really really sorry, but I can't do better than that at the moment. When I get home tomorrow, I'll record myself saying them and upload them to the net and link to them.

reagun ban The first thing I'm going to say is that Gaelic is not a language. It's a sport. Gaeilge is the word for the Irish language (known as Irish) and Scots-Gaelic is a language. It's considered offensive to use the term Gaelic, I'm not angry offended or anything, just making something known. Damn. Sorry. And now I think I'd read that somewhere and it just went out of my head, because it does look familiar. How do you prounounce it? And as a side question, do Irish people consider it offensive if people who are not Irish want to learn the language?

reagun ban Bealtaine or Beltine (depending on which part of the country you're from, and I can't remember the Kerry Irish for it) Bealtaine is pronounced B-yal-tuh-na Beltine is pronounce bel-tin-na Wow. Americans really do butcher pronunciation. That's an even worse mutation than French and Japanese.
reagun ban Samhain Pronounced Sow win Lughnasadh pronounced Loo na sa Well, at least most people will tell you to pronounce those two that way.

There is absolutely no need for apologies. I see it written down as Gaelic all the time in foreign lit, but it is offensive.
TheDisreputableDog How do you prounounce it? Gaeilge is actually a little harder to pronoucne. It's kinda like gway il gu but the w is barely pronounced.
TheDisreputableDog And as a side question, do Irish people consider it offensive if people who are not Irish want to learn the language? Irish people in general can't speak the language. The Gaeleoiri I know, those who can speak Irish, would have no problem with it.
barbarians foreigners. It used to have the same connotations as Gai Jin (spelling) in Japanese but that was hundreds of years ago.
TheDisreputableDog Wow. Americans really do butcher pronunciation. That's an even worse mutation than French and Japanese. Yup.
I haven't been at my mac in days, and I don't know when I will be next, rough week.
