    Any Gaelic speakers present?

    Can someone tell me the correct pronunciation of "annsachd"?

    Assuming it's spelled correctly, it would be roughly pronounced, AN-SAKHT. The "kh" is what I use to represent the "ch" sound, like in "loch."

    Depends, would you like the Scots Gaelic or Irish Gaelic pronunciation?
    Not sure of the Irish, but in Scots it would be roughly AHN-sahkt, emphasis on the Ahn.
    (The Ahn like the name Anne but with a breathy sound in it to make it Ahn.)
