  1. Glas is green (pronounced glass)

    Oraiste is orange (pronounced or-ash-ta)

    I have n.w. irish so might be different to some other responses regarding prounciation.


  2. Orange - oráiste (or-oi-shta)

    Green - Glás (Glass or Gloss)

    pronounciation can change from dialect to dialect.

  3. Green = glas (gloss)

    Orange = oráiste (orAWshteh)

  4. Green=glas

    Pronounced= gloss

    Orange= flannbhuí

    Pronounced= flan-vhee

    bui=yellow

    dearg=red

    gorum=blue

    leath=grey

    aon,do,tre,cather,cuig,se, seacht, huct,ne,deith=1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10.

    Crown=head

    shroan=nose

    Various Dialects ( Yes, even Gaelic has them) make the difference.
