IRISH PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
We are huge fans of the Irish language, and you'll see it pop up throughout Unlocked in the names of characters, place names, and other important words. We wanted to give those of you who aren't familiar with Irish a fighting chance at pronouncing these words as Gaeilge (in Irish).
For more about the Irish langauge in general, see our blog post on the subject here. But now, without further ado, here is an Unlocked pronunciation guide to get you through words like "uibheacha" (eggs).
