Is it gahlick or gaylick?

[Balfe]

I would have always said gaylick.

Gahlick for Scottish.

I thought it was Gallic! (For the Scottish language)

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

Different emphasis rather than a different pronunciation.

It's gallik no ay sounds, not a long a like in ah (though that one could be an accent difference) and it's not a ch at the end either. G is a G at the beginning of words, a k at the end of words and can only be a ch sound with an h, unless it's a y or silent...

Ghalick for Scots Gaelic, Gaylick for Irish, although I think it's generally just called Irish.

I concur with this.

Irish is just called Irish, unless you're actually speaking it, in which case it's Gaeilge.

Different emphasis rather than a different pronunciation.

No it's different pronunciation. In my accent anyway.

If you mean Irish, then neither, it's called Irish when speaking English and Gaeilge

When speaking Irish ...pressed post too soon!

When I lived in Scotland it was J-eye? Is that still the case?

Yes some people say j-eye. The first time I heard it I wasn't quite sure what it even meant. See also; po-ee-um for poem.

But in some parts of Ireland, Cork, they say kyuh for Q. So, swings and roundabouts 😄

But as this is scotsnet I guess you don't mean Irish...sorry, noticed too late!!

I was told gaylic is Irish so gaylic football but Scottish is gahlic

I say po-yum. Much to the hilarity of an English lady at work!

I say po-yum too.dh takes the piss (he is English)

I had to train myself out of poyum, I live in a place where that isn't part of the accent and I was training to never an English teacher... it still slips out if I'm not concentrating though.

I have lots of extra vowels though, fillum, farram, wurrum, wurruld...and yet postoffice is one word, they're the main ones people laugh at me for, well my kids mostly, lol.

Never an = be my phone's autocorrect is a bit over zealous.

Gaylick.

I was talking to Anne Lorne Gillies at a party last night - doyenne of Gaelic singing and Gaelic medium education - and it's very definitely "gah-lick"

I can only say 'po-em' by putting on my best Downton Abbey impression.

I always find it very funny. Most Glaswegians call me posh and then non-Glaswegians think I'm practically incomprehensible'

It's Gaaa-lik (gaidhlig)

My doc go to Glasgow Gaelic School (Sgoil Gaidhlig Glaschu) so I think I've probably got it right!

Would agree with the gaa-lik pronounciation.

Dh is English and I'm from the west of Scotland, we have had endless arguments over the pronunciation of the word 'bury'.

He says 'berry' and I say 'burry', and we've been bickering over it for nearly 20 years now although I know I'm right

I was talking to Anne Lorne Gillies at a party last night - doyenne of Gaelic singing and Gaelic medium education - and it's very definitely "gah-lick"

Highly recommend her memoir Song of Myself to anyone who hasn't read it.

I'm saying bury out loud and it's beginning to not sound like a word. Mine is not quite burry. More birry I think.

Ah you might have the lead there weegiemum

Coffee I worry that that argument will end with the victor burying the other in a shallow grave in the dead of night, hissing I AM BERRYING/BURRYING you!

I say "berry." But I'm American.

I was talking about your family to ALG Weegiemum

She is very proud of the work she did getting Gaelic medium education established.
