That would depend on how anglophones chose to mispronounce it. There's not a lot you† could mess up in a bhímid (uh) VEE-mid(ge) /(ə) w´i:m´id´/, the d being partway between a d and a j.


†"You" here being a general statement and not you in particular, of course, a Shaoirse.

Would that 'you' be Urban English with 'one' being 'more correct' in this instance? Thought I'd throw that one into the pot!!!

"You" isn't incorrect for a general statement ("You can't teach an old dog new tricks", etc.) "One", on the other hand, is a little antiquated.

Ah, the evolution of a language is a controversial beast! Anyway, back to the original intention of the thread - Tá an Ghaeilge beo agus ag dul i bhfeabhas i Nás na Ríogh agus is rud iontach é sin.
