Not pronounced glan-uh.

You must pronounce the gh.
It would be hard to put into words how you would go about doing this.
You need the tongue.

I know what you mean I think. Kinda like ghl*noise as if you're hawking up phlegm*anoo.

Yes. It's like "dha" is not pronounced "da".

I use the type of speak frequently in my songs.

Are you from Donegal Ronan?

The á sound is pronounced differently in Donegal, so if you're anywhere else Psychedelia:

baothghalántacht = bwee-gal-awn-thucked
Diongbháilteacht = ji-ong-wall-chacked

"aithne" = ah-neh
