A traveler's dictionary, phrasebook, and pronunciation guide for passing the time of day with the few remaining speakers of Irish Gaelic. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

The Pocket Oxford Irish Dictionary is intended for learners of Irish and for all those interested in the language.

Designed especially for first-time students, for those looking up an occasional word, and those renewing an old skill. Supporting sections include geographical and political names; declensions of the article, nouns, and adjectives; some irregular nouns; regular and irregular verbs; the most common verbal nouns; and prepositional pronouns. Though the pronunciation of Irish is now almost completely regular, still at least some indication or reminder would have been a good idea. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
