what's your definiton of the "original orthography" for irish. Any
spelling or whatnot i'm using in Irish translation is based on what i
learnt in school. Irish is a compulsory subject. Matter of fact most
universities in Ireland will only permit matriculation if the candiadate
has received a pass in their Leaving Cert Irish exam.
Basically alphabet used in irish is much the same as english apart from
their vowels with fada's on them.
