I'm trying to find out my friend's nickname in Gaeilge. (He is part Irish). Here is my pitiful attempt: A ghruagach ceann. Can anyone help me pronounce that? The dialect doesn't matter. |

It would be sort of Connemara, I think. Really, it's just the standardised Irish (Caighdeán) that I learnt at school. |
