Yeah!! I was wondering about it!!!


Would "fionnfhuar" be pronounced something like: FEUNN-fuar?
I'm a beginner, so don't rely upon ANYTHING I might translate without a second or third opinion.

"FH" is usually silent, so I'd guess "FyUN-oo-ar"

The best way to think about "fh" is the way that sounds are produced in Irish. Unlike the English "f", a voiceless sound formed by placing the teeth against the lip (voiceless labiodental fricative), the Irish "f" is bilabial (uses the lips) to make the sound and almost sounds like simply blowing air. When lenited (adding the "h") sounds are softened. When you soften a breath of air, nothing comes out; thus, "fh" is silent.

That may be a tad bit confusing, but it just means that "fh" is silent because of the impossibility of sound. For further information on where I got those weird words (i.e. voiceless labiodental fricative), see here.
ALWAYS get a second opinion on anything I, or anyone else, attempt to translate or transliterate.
I speak Connacht Irish, so some things I write, translate, or transliterate may be non-standard.
