    Hi Everybody, :)

    My name is Eurielle, I own Irish Wolfhounds and I am looking for a Name for my breeding to propose it to the Central Canin Society.:cool:
    The harder work is done, because I think I found the propositions for the CCS. These names are in Gaelic, they are correctly written but I'm not sure at all of the pronounciation.:P Is there Someone who can help me to pronounce them? :confused:

    -Madraí na hÉireann.
    -Mara na hÉireann.
    -Sléibhte na hÉireann.
    -Earraigh na hÉireann.
    -Tíortha na hÉireann.

    -Mara na hÉireann.
    -Sléibhte na hÉireann.
    -Earraigh na hÉireann.
    -Tíortha na hÉireann.

    Okay well hEireann is pronounced :-

    Madrai is mahdree
    mara is mahrah
    sleibhte is shlayta
    earraigh is aree
    tiortha is teerha

    hope it makes sense................

    No not everyone, there are English speaking schools and Irish speaking schools, in my school there was no English allowed, all subjects were taught through Irish/Gaelic, there are probably more English schools then Irish schools in Ireland though

    I was talking to a boy a few days ago (about 12 yeras old), I asked him if he could speak any Irish, "No, I'm dyslexic" he said "But I learn German".
