Hello! First time here-- loving the site-- have learned so much!
Some cousins and I are taking the trip (about 9 hours drive) to see the rest of my family for St. Patrick's day this year. . . and we've decided to make T-shirts for all to wear-- on the back, we wanted a phrase " Family, Drink, Song" in Irish. . . Please help! I think the words I need are "Muintir, Deoch, Amhrán" but I wanted to get some input-- and help with pronouncing the words correctly most importantly. . .
Any input would be greatly appreciated! The order for the shirts has to go in today. . . Thanks again!

Sorry we missed this one. Too late now.
With my translations always (without exception) wait for others to confirm or correct.

FWIW, Muintir, Deoch, Amhrán is better. Muintir is "family (extended), folks". Clann means "offspring, children"
Conamara-style pronunciation:
Muintir, Deoch, Amhrán
MWEEN-chirh, JOKH, OR-awn
/mi:N´t´ər´ d´ox o:rɑ:N/
Broad ch, such as that in deoch, is never a k sound; always a KH /x/ sound like the ch in loch /lox/ (lokh).
Amhrán may also be pronounced OW-rawn /awrɑ:N/ or OW-rahn /awra:n/.
