Is it gahlick or gaylick?

[Balfe]

I would have always said gaylick.

[QuietNinjaTardis]

Gar lic.
Gaylic is just weird

[Balfe]

The language, not the root vegetable

[TheMasterNotMargarita]

I think op is reffering to Gaelic.
I say Gaylick.
Mum says Gahlick.
And we both say garlic

[chemenger]

Ghalick for Scots Gaelic, Gaylick for Irish, although I think it's generally just called Irish. That's how I've always thought it was said.

[Redglitter]

Ninja You've made my night 😂

[Broccolirevolution]

Chemenger is correct.

Ninja, did you really think people pronounced garlic Gaylick?

[OnlyRose]

Yep, it's gah-lick. Lots of people do say gaylick but that's wrong the Irish language.

[Balfe]

Thanks!

[NoTractorsAtTheTable]

My family says ghahlich - I can't think of many words I'd pronounce with that hard 'aay' sound, so that makes sense to me if that's for the Irish one

Garlic is garlic, though

[NoTractorsAtTheTable]

Bloody hell, can't spell - my family says 'gahlich' - no idea where the extra h came from!

[HerBluebiro]

I was totally with ninja trying to work out how people said gaylick for garlick.

Gha-lick here for the language with a soft throaty sound (undoubtedly wrong) to try to differentiate it from gallic (sp?) as in french

See, I'd say both of them the same.

[MeanAger]

In my accent (County Down) its neither gahlick or gaylick. Its gale-ick.

[Balfe]

Gale-ick sounds the same as gaylick in my accent!

[MeanAger]

Gaelic is not the Irish language. Gaeilge is the Irish language. Gaelic is football

[EarlessToothlessVagabond]

I'm Scottish and this gets me all confused. I think it's Gay-lick?!

I also get confused with the letter J. When I lived in Scotland it was J-eye? Is that still the case? Now I've been expat for a long time I say J-ay.

[OnlyRose]

Earless if I am ever reciting the whole alphabet I say j-eye because that's how I learned it as a child. But if I'm spelling out a word now I say j-ay. It's weird!

[Balfe]

Jeye.

But I am common

[EarlessToothlessVagabond]

No, J-eye is the Scottish way, not common! But No one knew what I was on about when I said that down here..

[prettybird]

Both dh and I say Jay. I'm Bearsden/Milngavie bred - but he was brought up in Priesthill then Cessnock

Ds is not allowed to say J-eye

[SomeOtherFuckers]

I was taught gaylick but in English so almost definitely incorrect

[justanotherdowntroddenmass]

Garlick

[chemenger]

It's jay in the northeast, or it was when I wa brought up there at least. One of my DDs says jay the other says j-eye which amuses us greatly. I have to admit I find j-eye weird and a bit affectedly Scottish.

[Salmotrutta]

cheminger is correct - its GAY-lick for Irish Gaelic and GAH-lick for Scottish Gaelic.

[Redglitter]

justanother you haven't read the thread I take it
