I'm sure it will be useful for a lot of people in the future not just Kevin.

It is recommended that you always wait for three to agree on a translation.
I speak Connemara Irish, and my input will often reflect that.
I will do an mp3 file on request for short translations.

It took me a couple of minutes :mrgreen:
But transcribing Irish in IPA is always a dilemma, how precise one should be: should I write all the velarisation symbols, all the dental symbols etc... To keep it simple I dropped most of these since they are automatic most of the time...

β (beta) is somewhere between a w and a v. (But better let Lughaidh confirm or correct that.)

It's a bilabial v, if you like. In the normal English v your lower lip touches your upper teeth. In β it doesn't, your lips come close to each other instead and it makes a kind of v sound too, but a bit different.

ɣ is a velar fricative (voiced version of ch /x/)

ɸ is a bilabial f (unvoiced version of β)
