Gaeilge: The Pronunciation of Tuilleadh What is the approximate pronunciation of tuilleadh? I've listened to the recordings on focloir.ie a number of times and tried to replicate them. The best I can come up with is "TILL-LEH" or "TELL-LEH" when listening to the Munster version, although there is some quality in the way I am saying "TILL" that isn't 100% correct. I can hear the difference but I can't identify what it is or how to correct it. Wiktionary has the following listed for the Munster pronunciation in IPA ˈt̪ˠɪlʲə so it looks like this should end in a schwa sound instead??? Should the -dh be silent? I hear more of a CH sound at the beginning of the Connacht version. I swear my hearing isn't great. Hahaha Ugh.

You might be getting thrown by the fact that in the dialects different forms are used for some words, not just different pronunciations of the same form. In the Standard, however, only one form is usually permitted, but people go on pronouncing their own dialectal form. "Tuilleadh" is an example of this. The form used in Ulster Irish is actually "tilleadh", with a slender "t". It is pronounced /ˈtʃɪʎu/ (CHIL-yoo). When people write the Standard "tuilleadh" but pronounce the dialectal "tilleadh", it's understandable that you might wonder how a broad "t" can be pronounced /tʃ/. Final "-adh" is regularly pronounced /u/ in Ulster (except when it occurs on verbs immediately before a subject pronoun beginning with "s-", in which case it is pronounced /ət/, e.g. "íosfadh sé" /iːsət ʃɛ/ but "íosfadh an madadh" /iːsu ə madu/); in Connacht and Munster, however, it is pronounced /ə/ (except in certain verb endings, when it is pronounced /əx/, e.g. "íosfadh sé" /iːsəx ʃeː/). Listening to the pronunciations on focloir.ie, it seems that in Connacht as well the form is "tilleadh" (though palatalisation of "t" and "d" is less extreme in Connacht than it is in Ulster). Munster Irish doesn't distinguish between "l" and "ll", whereas Ulster Irish and some dialects of Connacht Irish do.
