"An dtuigeann tú Gaelainn?" is the phrase you learn in Lesson 1 of this Pimsleur course.
Why isn't it "An dtuigeann tú Gaelige"? |

It's referred to as 'Gaelainn' in the Munster dialect. |

That's probably just a typo on your part, but it wouldn't be "Gaelige" (or "Gailege", as the thread title says) in any of the dialects -- though that spelling seems to capture the most common mispronunciation of "Gaeilge" I hear in U.S. classes.
Duine gan ainm has it right -- Pimsleur teaches Munster Irish.

Yes, a typo *and* a flat-out error on my part all within one little post. I'm batting a thousand today!
But at least there was a clear answer. Thank you!
