Help[Facts] Re: Mavourmeen
in reply to a message by Eliora
My Irish mother pronounces Mavourneen as "mah-VOOR-neen." She's from western County Cork, in the extreme South. The area has its own distinctive accent, so I'm not sure if this pronunciation carries throughout Ireland. But it makes perfect sense to me given the spelling.
Montserrat is Spanish. I would say it as "mohn-sehr-AHT," but I'm not an expert. I do know that the first "t" is silent.
