Talking about how spelling relates to pronunciation in Kerry Irish, a dialect in West Munster.

I wanted to start out by making a fairly low budget video, so I didn't spend too much time preparing or editing this video, but I hope it can still be helpful to you.

0:00 Introduction & Notes
1:12 Consonants
3:28 Short Vowels
7:40 Long Vowels
11:39 Diphthongs: Ua, ia, éa
14:10 Diphthongs: Abh-, Adh-
15:45 -bha/-mha, -imh/-ibh
17:40 The Schwa
19:08 Helping Vowel (Epenthetic Vowel)
20:00 Stress / Emphasis
22:05 Vowel Lengthening/Diphthongisation
