This is "summer" in Irish (Gaeilge) and Scottish (Gàidhlig).
Please include what dialect you are using (I think that it is pronounced "sav-ruh" in Ulster dialect, "sow-ruh" in another -- and maybe "sou-ruhg" in Gàidhlig).
Is there a standard pronunciation?
Also, any general rules for the pronunciation of "mh" and "dh" would be appreciated.
