Hi,
I’m a new here I think I was a member of this forum years ago. I was trying to pronounce an Irish phase
‘”Ní bheidh á leithéidi aris ann!” which is a quote by Peig Sayers I think, I posted it this morning but apparently it got lost so I’m trying again.

There’s a typo.
It’s either:
Ní bheidh ár leithéidí arís ann. = There won’t be the likes of us again.
or:
Ní bheidh a leithéidí arís ann. = There won’t be the likes of them again.

I think the quotation in English they usually give is - 'The like of us will never be again'

It's worth noting that it was Tomás Ó Criomhthain who said that, not Peig Sayers.

To answer your pronunciatiotn question, perhaps someone here can do a sound file for you, but it would roughly be (in my amateur phonetics, American style):

Ní bheidh ár leithéidí arís ann.
Nee vay orr LEH-hay-jee a-REESH aun
["orr" rhyming with "door"]
["aun" rhyming with "town"]

or

Ní bheidh a leithéidí arís ann.
Nee vay uh LEH-hay-jee a-REESH aun

I would like to thank everyone for the translation but I guess I can’t get an audio file of what it should sound like.

I might be able to do one later when I get home. Others can then chime in and let you know if it's any good or not :P
