I am looking to have the following phrases translated into Irish with phonetic spelling if possible.

The school of Lost Creek
The piper school
and Dance of the herons

Thanks you in advance. Vera

The trouble with attempting these things is that too little information is given about context. This is important because the Irish language has a lot more subtleties in it than has English and therefore context is required for the best translation.

However, here are some suggestions;

The school of Lost Creek/Scoil an Atha Cheilte(Skull unn
ah-ha kell-teh : short "a's", guttural "k" sound). I'm translating this as hidden/ceilte rather than lost/caillte which means something possessed which has been lost.

The piper school/Scoil an Phíobaire (Skull unn feeb-irr-eh). Presuming this means a person who plays the bagpipes as an instrument, not a plumber or an oil rigger.

Dance of the Herons/Damhsa na gCorr (Dao-sah nuh gurr).


I hope this helps you out.
