ArchivesA bit confused about how to pronounce the Scottish form of Patrick
So I looked up Padraig... the Irish form looks like this: PÁDRAIG
and says the the pronounciation in it, which is easy enough... but when I look at the Scottish one, the accent on the a is different (PÀDRAIG), and I was wondering if it was pronounced differently, and how it was said. I've got a character that I want to specifically Scottish, but still fairly easy to understand to those like me and don't know much about tradional pronounciations.
thank you :)

From what I can find, it's pronounced PAW-drik.

Doesn't that depend on how you pronounce PAW? In UK RP its vowel looks like the letter c reversed in the IPA, with lip rounding, but in the States it often seems to be a long a (what the doctor traditionally asks one to say!) with no rounding ...
I wish I could use IPA in this program without copying and pasting for minutes on end!
