Need to know how to pronounce this.

Agus beimid inár n-aoirí ar do shonsa, a Thiarna, ar do shonsa, tá cumhacht tagtha anuas ó do lámh ionas go gcomhlíonadh ár gcosa do thoil go tapaidh. Sruthóimid ar aghaidh mar abhainn chugat Agus plódaithe le hanamacha a bheidh sí go deo. In ainm an Athar, agus an Mhic, agus an Spioraid Naomh

Ní dhoirtfear fuil neamhchiontach choíche. Ach sruthóidh fuil na n-olc mar abhainn. Leathfaidh an triúr a n-eiteoga dubhaithe agus beidh siad ina chasúr buailte Dé.

Please, Thanks

I think it would also be a good idea to show the pronounciation of these words in their true proper form. This would help those who are learning see how it changes just slightly with different regions. Because one has to remember Universities teach proper pronounciation not every different dialect.
Just a thought anywho,

A while ago I found several translations or variations for I love you, one of them being “Ta mo chroi istigh ionat” I use this variation in writing with my fiancee but would appreciate knowing how to pronounce this phrase. Also is “mo mhuirnin” pronounced the same as the modern derivative “mavourneen”? Any assistance is appreciated.

I would suggest spelling broad consonants underlined & slender ones with a ‘ (accent) after them. Also, we need to write a very short ‘i’ or ‘u’ sound at the end of some words, and the broad glide, which is like a ‘w’ but without rounding the lips.

e.g. ‘aici’ in Munster dialect is like ‘iKI’ with the ‘i’ exactly as in ‘hit’ but without the ‘t’. and ‘acu’ is like ‘aKU’ with the ‘U’ as in the ‘oo’ of ‘look’. “cuid” is like “quid” but without the rounding of the lips. You can feel the word travel from the far back to the front of your mouth as you pronounce it.
