"ceathairt"?
When the female TG4 continuity announcers appear on screen my brain generally gives precedence to processing what my eyes see rather than what my ears hear.
I don't think that the majority of the country has a working knowledge of the language.It sounds totally different I think to the Munster Irish spoken by the majority of the country.

Surely only in Gaelscoileanna?In schools it is used in the most part.

Ive noticed that people from West Mayo often stress the t at the end of a word. Wereas a Dubliner might pronounce the word right as Rih in North West Mayo they will say rite with considerable stress on the "t". I figure it is related to the way Irish is spoken in the area.
Thanks - it would help if you had been clearer in the first place. Oh - and by the way you might want to check the posting guidelines whiley you're at it...My god, you're tedious!! Ok, I'll break it down for you. In the most part of the country the Irish that is used in schools is that of the Munster dialect.
But has anyone heard this 'ceathairt' on TG4 (or anywhere else on the broadcast media for that matter) since I mentioned it?
