SECOND EDITION.

PREFACE.
This book is published chiefly to supply a need felt by visitors to
the Highlands, the want of an English-Gaelic handbook of phrasei
and dialogues, in which English sentences are followed by their Gaelic
equivalents. In preparing the dialogues the author was guided to some
extent by the numerous phrasebooks of other European languages, but
the peculiar circumstances of the Highlands and the Highland tongue
necessitated the introduction of new subjects and the adoption of new
forms. It was also necessary on account of the large number of idioms
used conversationally in both Gaelic and English, to add a pretty long
list of idiomatic phrases. The vocabularies, which occupy the first fifty
pages of the book (with the exception of some proper names), consist
entirely of words in everyday use. As it is difficult to represent the
finer shades of Gaelic vowel-sounds by any system of phonetics, it is
recommended that the learner should get the pronunciation viva voce
wherever practicable. When that is not possible, the Gaelic should be
read from the centre column, the third column being referred to only
when the pronunciation is doubtful. In this way the student will soon
acquire the habit of reading correctly from the ordinary Gaelic spelling.
It is hoped that this little volume will be found useful as a handbook
for strangers in the Highlands, as a book of reference for Highlanders
themselves, and as the best introduction to Gaelic for those who wish
to become acquainted with that language.

TABLE OF SOUNDS.
In the orthoepy given in the vocabularies, the vowels used re-
present the following sounds :
l.-a
2. a
3.-e
4. 6
5. &
6. a
7. i
8. 6
10. -o
11. -6
12. 6

16. u
17. -oo
short as in fat - fat
long like a in far - far
short as in wet - wet
long as in where - whSre
short and acute as in fat fate
longer than a in fame fame
short as in wit - wit
short as in we - w6
long as in wee - wee
short as in cot - cot
long as in cord - c6rd
short and acute as in ph to ph6to
long as in fold - fold
short as in shun - shun
long as in jeune - zhun
short like ou in would wud
long like ooe in wooed wooed
The English i as in fire is represented by ae.
The consonants are pronounced as in English, with the following
exceptions :
Ch ia not hard like k, nor soft as in chase, but always guttural, as in
loch, trachle.
Dd, tt, 11, and nn represent a very soft sound of these consonants,
in forming which the tongue, near the tip, touches the upper gum.
Ly and ny represent a peculiar modification of the sounds of 1 and n'
effected by placing the centre of the tongue against the roof of the mouth
when pronouncing these consonants. The 1 is rather softer than in
million, and the n softer than the first n in pinion.

PRONUNCIATION OF GAELIC.
The simple vowel sounds are as follows :
i, al as in English far. Examples cas, cail.
a, ai parry. cas, cailc.
*, ea,'eu ,, where gne, neamh, meud.
6, el, u ,, whey. de", ce"ir, r^ul.
e, ea, el ,, whet, sur'vey deth, fear ; breab, geir
1, lo ,, machine ell ciob.
i, io ratify. clis, fios.
i, 61 ,, ,, cord p6r, c6ir.
6, 61 ,, cold co, c6ig.
o, oi canto, hot. crodh, fois ; olc, con.
4, ul pull. cu, soil.
u, ui ,, put. cur, druid.
The digraphs in the above table practically represent simple vowel
sounds, the second vowels being very faintly heard. Before the labials
b, /, m, and p, however, i is more distinctly heard. Examples caib,
cnaip.
The single vowels are divided into two classes the broad, a, o, u,
and the small, e, i.
ao, which is a single vowel sound, is always long, like u in purr,
pronounced long. Example maor.
a and o. when followed by II or nn, are usually pronounced au and
ow. Examples fann, fonn.
a, in an unaccented syllable, or before dh or gh, has the sound of u
in but ; Examples coma, lagh.
e, in an unaccented syllable, is pronounced as in cover. Example
duine.
O, followed by b, g, m, p, or dh, is pronounced as in canto. Ex-
amplesgob, bog, crodh, lomadh.
In the diphthongs and triphthongs ea; ea; eo, e6i; eo, eoi; eo,
eoi ; la, iai ; iu, iul; iu, iui ; ua, uai, the first and second vowels
are heard. Examples geadh, fearr, e61as, feoil ; E6ghainn, Ie6mhann ;
deoch, geoic ; iar, fiaire ; iul, ciuil ; iuchair, tiuighe ; uan, uaine. Before
b, /, m, and p the final i is also heard. Examples fuaim, uaip.
ea, ea, eo, and eoi are rarely used.
Most vowels are somewhat nasal when in contact with m, irih, or n.
B is pronounced harder than in English. Example obair.
C before a broad vowel hard, as in can ; before a small vowel, as in
came ; never soft, like s ; when final chk. Examples- cas, ce"um, ioc.
p with a broad vowel a little softer than in English, produced by
placing the tongue near the tip in contact with the teeth or between the
teeth . Exampl e da
D with a small vowel like j or dj in English. Example de\
P as in English.
Q always hard, as in got or get; when final hard like k. Examples
-gu, ge, bog.
58
H never appears in Gaelic except along with some other consonant
or followed by a hyphen.
L with a broad vowel, like Ith in although. Example -Ian.
L preceded by a small vowel, or initial followed by a small vowel in
the past tense of verbs or in the word le and its derivatives hard as in
English. Example gil, lean, learn.
L, initial with a small vowel, liquid nearly as in million, formed by
placing the surface of the tongue about the centre to the roof of the
mouth. Example lion.
LI with a broad vowel, thick almost like Ith. Example call.
LI with a small vowel, like I in million. Example fill.
M as in English, but more nasal. Example cam.
N as in Eniilish. Example ban.
N initial followed by a small vowel (except in nis and the verb nt
and past tense of verbs) liquid, nearly as in pinion. Example neo.
Nn with a broad vowel, formed by placing the tongue near the tip
against the teeth. Example Bann.
Nn with a email vowel, nearly as in pinion. Example Binn.
P as in English, but after am almost as soft as B. When final, it is
more breathy hp. Examples Pill, am pill ? Cnap.
R with a broad vowel, as in rod. Example ro.
R with a small vowel, as in Arian Example ri.
S with a broad vowel, as in English. Example Sal.
8 with a small vowel (and in the word so) is equal to English sh.
ception is.
T with a broad vowel, formed not with hard stiff tongue tip, but
with a soft pressure of the tongue against the teeth. Example ta.
T with a small vowel like ch in chase. Example tinn.
After an, c is softened to g, and t to d, as - an cu ; an tonn.
By adding h the consonants b, c, d, /, g, m, p, s, and t are modified,
giving a breathy effect, called aspiration.
Bh like v in English.
Ch, guttural as in German, or in the Scotch wor 1 trachle.
Dh and gh with a broad vowel almost like gh in ugh, or g in the
German word Tag ; with a small vowel equal to y.
Fh is silent, except in the words, fhuair, fhein, and fhathast, where
the h is heard.
Mln. like v, but more nasal.
Ph like /.
Sh and tli like h
The consonants I, n, and r, are never aspirated.
Chd sounds like chk. Example reachd.
Rt with a broad vowel is like rst ; with a small vowel it sounds rsj.
Examples mart, beairt.
When I, n, or r is followed by b, g, m, or p, a vowel is heard between
the two consonants. Thus, calg is pronounced calag ; calpa, calapa ;
falbh, falabh ; searg, searag ; airm, airim.

How far did he throw?
Twenty-nine feet three inches
He did very well
What's the next thing ?
Throwing the hammer
We must clear off then
Yes, it is sometimes dangerous
That was a splendid throw
He gave it a good swing
Let us go and see the leaping
That's what they call the long leap
That fellow crossed the mark
I could jump as far as that myself
The ground is too slippery
We're to have high leap now
He cleared it easily
That was a good sprin
ey're tossi
They're tossing the caber where we
Yes, and it's a heavy caber they
have
These are fine muscular fellows
Yes, indeed, they have well deserved
their prizes

No, but the races are over

English.
Did many run ?
Yes, there was a good competition
It would have been a fine sight
You do not play quoits hers?
It is a very ancient game
What games do you have in the
Lowlands ?
We have many games with ball and
bat, bowls, football, tennis, and
curling-stones
Do yon play shinty ?
It is a great pastime here in winter
How is it played ?
Very like football, hut clubs are
used instead of feet
Some games are very coarse and rude
Yes, their influence is not of the
best
We seldom have wrestling matches
now
So I believe
There are always dancing and bag-
pipe competitions
In England there are great contests
in rowing
A capital thing for the joints and
muscles
I like to see these things
I like that too
A bit of friendly competition is a
good thing
That is my opinion
Especially when the games are of a
manly kind
And when the people of the dis-
trict alone are engaged
I see that Highland games are very
frequent in the Lowlands now
On the other hand, Lowland games
are becoming common in the
North
Some of the competitors at these
games are fine stalwart fellows
