Irish Dictionary Advice

Abair.ie is a huge step for the Irish language online. It is a new tool that creates a synthesised voice of an Irish language sentence you type in.

All is not perfect, but it is a hugely valuable source for learners who wish to get the approximate pronunciation of a word or sentence.

The dialect used is Ulster. Here’s hoping for Connacht and Munster versions!

One of the biggest Irish dictionaries online englishirishdictionary.com has been offline since at least 5th May 2008.

Does anyone know why it’s offline? Unfortunately they have always been quiet about who’s behind the project.

Please do reply if the site is indeed back online.

Update: As noted in the comments, the dictionary is back online!
