Hi

I'm getting a tattoo tomorrow, Thursday 1. August. The tattoo spells "M'inghean,
m'aingeal, mo shaoghal". I've been told this is correct spelling for
my daughter, my angel, my life.

Can someone please confirm this is correct by 8 pm tomorrow Thursday 1. Aug?

Appreciate all the help I can get.

Was told this was correct spelling in old Irish.

Aye that's the spelling used before the 1950s in Ireland

And I might add, is still the spelling used by some of us die-hard survivors from that era...minus those prolific 'h' s all over the place !

There are people who weren't born then, and who use that spelling (including me, sometimes :darklaugh:

It isn't actually "Old Irish" - the Irish in use from the 7th to the 10th c.
It's traditional modern-Irish spelling.

Quote:

"M'inghean, m'aingeal, mo shaoghal".

And it's similar to the Scottish Gaelic equivalent:

Mo nighean, m'aingeal, mo shaoghal
