Help[Facts] Re: Máire: pronunciation, please?
in reply to a message by gaelcelt
Máire is pro. as MOY-ra and Máirín as MOR-een. The only exception to this is Donegal where they drop or slur the "r" and say Máire as MOY-a.
The anglicised spellings Maura and Maureen are more common in Ireland except for areas where Irish is the first Language(Gaeltachts)
