The tea is that Irish names aren’t that bizarre and Irish spelling isn’t particularly wild in the grand scheme of languages, anglophones are just used to anglicising names and y'all think Irish is some fiddly dee dee funny fairy language and not like…an actual living language under threat
“It’s not pronounced how it’s spelled!!”
Yes it is. You’re just assuming, for whatever reason, that english spelling and pronunciation standards should apply to a language from a completely different language family
This is what I’m talking about. Why are the Brits so proud of their ignorance
Y'all have really got to stop doing this. Take a day off from mocking threatened minority languages. Americans and Brits have killed hundreds of languages already, this is not a good look from monolingual speakers of the world’s dominant language
My gran is Irish, and both my gran and my mum have Irish names, and I come across a lot of this. Like yes that’s not how you’d pronounce it in English, but the word’s not fucking English, OK?
Shockingly a language that’s not English isn’t spelled like English.
gaelic orthography is much more consistent than english. like not to be contrarian but if there’s any language that’s just spelled “however” it’s english.
