Are you going to enlighten us on how to properly pronounce it then? I’m Irish and would pronounce it as rayl-teen. Never seen or heard of it before so that’s purely a guess

Your bot is rubbish.
Maybe go back to the beginning and start again?

It is pronounced Rail-teen or Rail-cheen (more or less) depending on where you are in Ireland so Rail-teen at least is correct.

There is more than one dialect of Irish so names can have more than one correct pronunciation in Irish.

I’m Irish and would pronounce it Rail teen, how do you think it’s pronounced?

Fadedbouquet · 06/06/2024 20:34

Some people will say it should be spelt Réiltín because of caol le caol, leathan le leathan.
I'm not sure when it comes to names...have seen it both ways anyway.
Here's Réiltín in the different dialects.
