Is it gahlick or gaylick?

[Balfe]

I would have always said gaylick.

Gar lic.
Gaylic is just weird

The language, not the root vegetable

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

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.

Ninja You've made my night 😂

Chemenger is correct.

Ninja, did you really think people pronounced garlic Gaylick?

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

Thanks!

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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!

Jeye.

But I am common

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

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

I was taught gaylick but in English so almost definitely incorrect

Garlick

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.

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

justanother you haven't read the thread I take it
