Re: Pronounciation: muireann
in reply to a message by Mario
I have to disagree with Devon here.The 'm' is broad, and has a slight 'w' sound, not a consonantal 'y.'
The 'i' following the 'u' quickly slenders the syllable as well.
Note the double 'n' is strongly-pronounced.
The result is roughly [MWUYR-ya-unn] or [MWUYR-yunn].
