Also, no pronunciation thread is complete without Tir Chonaill, Badb Cath, and Sidhe Sneachta. Those get mispronounced in the most delightfully horrible ways.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find how to pronounce those properly. Care to share? :o?

As far as I know, they're TEER KAW-nel (like the name Connell), BAYV KAH-hah, and SHEE SHNOK-thah.

I believe it's something akin to GLAHS GEV-len. Fun fact: in Celtic mythology, Glas Ghaibleann was a green-spotted cow with an endless supply of milk.

Celtic Mythology is epic.
