Anybody got a couple of gaelic speech samples laying around?

Scots or Irish, and what would you like for them to say?

hock: i'm not picky, anything will do.. but i guess scottish if i have a choice... maybe something religious/mystical? (could be about anything at all tho)... :wink:

I'm curious. What's that going to be for?

well... for some music... i have "ummagumma" by Pink Floyd on vinyl and my favorite track on there is "several species of small furry animals gathered together in a cave and grooving with a pict" ... i love to just play around with that track. there are some cool vocals on there that are gaelic (or gaelic-ish) i would like something akin to that on my hard drive in case i wanted to sprinkle it on something

Ah ok nice.

Give me a few days to get something recorded. I'm not at all proficient in Scots Gaelic, but given time I should be able to cobble together a few simple phrases with a more or less reasonably accurate pronunciation.

I have an Irish friend who recently got a microphone for her computer, so I'll see about recruiting her for some mystic speech in Irish Gaelic.

That's not Gaelic in "Grooving with a Pict," by the way, but a thick Scots accent, so you might get just as much use out of some phrases recorded in Braid Scots by native speakers. I'll have a go at that, as well, but I shouldn't think the results would be satisfactory, though they might be mildly amusing, in a slow-motion train wreck sort of way.
