What is it with RTE newsreaders making up their own pronunciations of words? Where the f uck did the word gwael come from? When they're talking about football do they call it gwaelic football, no off course they f uck ing don't! No matter what dialect or accent they may be using the word Gael (gale) will never have a w in it. Tossers.

Lol. First thing that came to my mind when reading this thread, was the way Simon Bates used to pronounce "secksual" in the warnings at the start to a video!

Feckin' creepy.

Time for one of Daddy's "special baths".

This, OP, this. Back to school with you.

Gaelic = English word, therefore English pronunciation. Fine & Gael = Irish words, therefore Irish pronunciations. It really shouldn't be *that* difficult to understand. Most educated Irish people get it - for instance, they pronounce Deirdre with the same 'ah' ending that is in Fine, Gráinne, Aoife, Portlaoise. And so on. It's correctly more like Fina Gwael, or using the phonetic alphabet ˈfʲɪnʲə ˈɡeːl̪ˠ.

Which is of course more accurate than Done Leery. See above rule for pronouncing 'e' ending words in Irish.

But virtually no-one who live there, works there or regularly visits the place calls it Doon Layorah - they call it Dun Leary. That is its name in normal usage.

It'd be like them insisting on calling Dublin Baile Atha Cliath or maybe Dubh Linn. Pointless pedantry.

I hate that gwael thing. No matter who tells me gwaeltacht is correct, I will never pronounce it with a w.

Do you think new presenters have to go on a pronunciation course when they join Rte?

fishy fishy · 03-09-2012 09:32AM

what I want to know is why has miriam o callaghan changed her name.

coupla years ago it was just plain old "Miriam"

now she's calling herself "MARY UM"

:rolleyes:

Hell no. Sure I bet they don't even need a junior cert...

Matt_Trakker · 03-09-2012 09:41AM

aye, RTE presenters are taught to say Irish words according to the pronunciation of the Irish letters hence why it is 'arrrr' t. e and not r.t.e because the acronym is for 3 Irish words not English ones.
Simple as that, they're saying it the proper way

I have heard it pronounced like this from time to time (by just one or two) RTE presenters, but it sounds wrong.
