A common misconception about Gaelic spelling is that it just doesn’t make sense! However, I like to think of Gaelic as a 90% phonetic language, meaning that we mostly pronounce things as they are written.

In this section, you can find an in-depth guide to all the features Gaelic spelling and pronunciation. This guide is mostly based on a general Gaelic pronunciation of the language without taking features too specific to one dialect.

If you are interested in a particular dialect’s pronunciation, be sure to check out the dialect page on the Irish hub.
