Níl! Déarfadh muintir Chonamara mar "wye" é, a bheag nó a mhór. (Fágfaidh mé faoi dhaoine eile cur síos ar fhoghraíocht na gcanúintí eile.)

Tá fáilte roimh chuile cheartú!

I've heard a munster pronunciation that sounds like "wig" to me

Maybe oo-igg or voo-igg in Munster.

In Gweedore we say "wee-ah", if I remember well.

I'll agree with Antaine and Lughaidh (who seem to be approximating a very similar pronunciation), only because that's what my muinteoir told me last week. Basically, that the 'dh' at the end of many words is pronounced in Munster - good to see I didn't waste my money on the Daonscoil! :)

I thought is was like [wai]

For me, right or wrong this is my scheme:

[wɛm’]
[wɛt’]
[wai]
[wu:hi]
[wu:iɲ]
[wu:iw’]
[wu:hu]

It is one word which varies a lot in pronunciation.
