Not sure where the accent is on this, never heard it, just read it. LIS-can-nor or lis-CAN-nor? Go raibh maith agat. |

Maith go leor, now I can tell a story involving Liscannor stone without worrying about how I say it! |

Cait-rua, don't worry. Most broadcasters and an increasing number of Irish in Ireland cannot pronounce Hiberno-English placenames. Attempting to do so in their faux deliveries makes for an odd result. I even met someone the other day who is somewhat anti-English in his political leanings, yet who could not pronounce the name of a town in Cork referred to in a daily newspaper. Make of that what you will... |

I have relatives down near Liscannor, what are you up to down there? Agus a Róbáird, cinnte, tá na frith-Sacsanaigh súid chomh Éireannach is atá an Bhainríon. |
