Gaelic Pronounciation???
I'm currently an aspiring linguist, but I've hit a road block. I don't know how to pronounce Gaelic!!
I know, and I'm working on learning the pronunciation, but are there any tips that anyone can offer me? I figured I should be able to pronounce the language of my first name's origin. [Ia(i)n]
Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

I don't know much about the language, but I believe there are distinct differences in pronunciation between Irish and Scottish Gaelic -- and likely some regional differences within those groups as well.
