Is this an Ulster alternative form on Gaeilge, or a general-Irish word that means "the Ulster form of Irish"? - -sche (discuss) 22:29, 8 June 2017 (UTC)
 * It's a dialectal form of, but I thought that any spelling reflecting /ˈɡeːlˠɪɲ/ would be a Munster form (, , , etc.). I thought Ulster only had spellings reflecting /ˈɡeːlˠɪc/. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 05:35, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Hmm. I can only find one Google Books hit for it, and it doesn't clarify what dialect it belongs to. On Google, Duolingo says it's Munster, and this says it's Donegal and not Munster. RFV? - -sche (discuss) 16:29, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I've just checked more than a dozen different sources for Ulster Irish (not just Donegal but other extinct varieties of Ulster Irish, e.g. South Armagh and Tyrone), and they all give /ˈɡeːlˠɪc/ (spelled in various ways) as the only Ulster word for "Irish". AFAICT, every version ending in /ɲ/ is Munster. I wouldn't bother with RFV. The spelling itself is valid; I'll just edit the page to say it's Munster rather than Ulster. —Aɴɢʀ (talk) 17:11, 9 June 2017 (UTC)
