Video: English and Australian girls try to pronounce Irish names and it’s just great

Paul Moore

We love a trier. Aoife, Saoirse, Cathal and more probably don’t.

You may remember the recent video from the people at Buzzfeed where they had their staff members pronouncing some of our lovely Irish names.

Now Irish YouTuber Clisare has been a talented and clever clogs by managing to see if her friends from Down Under and in England could wrap their tongue around some additional Irish names like Aoife, Saoirse, Maedhbh, Cathal and even more.

We imagine that every Irish person will be watching this gas video with that wonderful sense of smugness and laughter.

To be fair, some of our names do look very strange to people from foreign countries but this footage is still great.

Take a look.
