Leipreachán

[gfl87]

Hi guys,
just one question:
what would be the phonetic transcription (IPA) of a good Gaelic pronunciation of the word «leipreachán»?
Thank you very much.

That's Munster. For Connacht, reverse the stress assignment (i.e. primary on the first syllable, secondary on the last); the vowels may be different as well. I can't help you with Ulster.

Great, thank you very much, linguoboy!
It's all the information I need: easy now to go back to the phonemic structure and the reverse to the local realizationn one needs. What's the source you looked up: I spent some hours seaching on the Internet...

My primary reference for Munster pronunciation is Ó Cuív's The Irish of West Muskerry, Co. Cork. The best online source for that same variety is http://www.corkirish.com/wordpress/my-irish-english-dictionary, but you won't find this particular word listed in either of them.
