Talk:Annascaul

Ainm as Gaeilge
Although the Irish name is often given as Abhainn an Scáil, this better suits the river name (Anglicized as Owenascaul), and most "official" sources seem to use Abha na Scáil as the name of the village itself. (I realize that both forms ultimately mean the same thing.) Does anyone from Kerry know what it says on the local signposts? -- Picapica 12:12, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)


 * will ask a local whats on the signpost at the village Kglavin 15:11, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
 * passed that way last week and the signposts says "Abhainn an Scáil" Kglavin 20:26, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Slightly contradicting what I wrote earlier, Annascaul / Abhainn an Scáil are the official "postal" names as set down by statutory instrument. However, since Anascaul and Abha na Scáil are both also used, I believe all four forms should be mentioned in the text. -- Picapica 15:36, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

 * No locals EVER use the spelling "Anascaul", although Kerry county council presists to put it on signposts. 157.190.228.18 (talk) 17:48, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

In both Medieval (http://dil.ie/36295) and Modern (https://www.teanglann.ie/ga/fgb/scál) Irish, Scál (phantom, giant, hero) is masculine, with genitive singular Scáil. Thus Abha/Abhainn na Scáil and likewise Tadhg Kennedy's Átha na Scáil is, on this basis, clearly grammatically incorrect. Abha/Abhainn/Átha an Scáil is the correct form. In the Múscraí Gaeltacht humorous song 'My Home in Sweet Glanlea, the pronunciation of the village name, when sung by local singers, is Aunascaul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 143.239.130.168 (talk) 15:00, 29 August 2020 (UTC)

Pronunciation
My English only speaking relatives who emigrated from the Dingle Peninsula in the early 20th century pronounced Annascaul as it is pronounce in Irish (that is, pronounced as if it was written in English as Ah Oon A Skull). Do locals still pronounce it that way when speaking English? Gortaleen (talk) 17:58, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
