PREFACE.
ThÌB book Ì8 published chiefly to supply a need felt by visitors to
the Highlsjids, the want of an English-Gaelic handbook of phrases
and dialogues, in which English sentences are followed by their Gaelic
equivalents. In preparing the dialogues the author was guided to some
•itent by the numerous phrasebooks of other European languages, but
tke peculiar circumstances of the Highlands and the Highland tongue
Beewsitated the introduction of new subjects and the adoption of new
iorms. It was also necessary on account of the large number of idioms
OMd ocniTenktionally in both Gaelic and English, to add a pretty long
list of idioaaatic phrases. The vocabularies, which occupy the first fifty
fages of the book (with the exception of some proper names), consist
entirely of words in everyday use. As it is difficult to represent the
fin«r shxiw ot Gaelic vowel-sounds by any system of phonetics, it is
r»conuD«ndad that the learner should get the pronunciation viva voce
wherever praotioable. When that is not possible, the Gaelic should be
lead from the centre column, the third column being referred to only
when the pronunciation is doubtful. In this way the student will soon
acquire the habit of reading correctly from the ordinary Gaelic spelling.
It is hoped that this little voliune will be found useful as a handbook
for strangers in the Highlands, as a book of reference for Highlanders
ttisaaelTM, and as the best introduction to Gaelic for those who wish
%j become acquainted with that language.

The Rnglirti i a* in Are is represented by aè.
The conaonuite are pronounced as in English, with the following
fxceptiona:—
Ch is not hard like k, nor soft as in chase, but always guttural, as in
lodi, trachle.
Dd, tt, 11, and nn represent a ver^ soft sound of these consonants,n forming which the tongue, near the tip, touches the upper gum.
Ly and ny represent a peculiar modification of the sounds of 1 and n*
efTectM l^ placing the centre of the tongue againRt the roof of the mouthw)um pronounciii^ these consonants. The 1 is rather softer than in
I/ llion, and the n softer than the irst n in pinion.

bat, bowls, football, t«nnis, andcurling-stones
Do yoa play shinty ?
Tt is a great pastime here in winter
How is it played ?
Very like football, Hut clubs areused instead of feet
Some games are very coarse and rude
Tes, their influence is not of thebest
We seldom have wrestling matchesnow
So I believe
There are always dancing and bag-pipe competitions
In England there are great contestsin rowing
A capital thing for the joints andmuscles
I like to see these things
I like that too
A bit of friendly competition is agood thin^
That is my opinionRepecially when the games are of a
manly kindAnd when the people of the dis-
trict alone are engagedI fee that Highlaod ffames are very
frequentIn the Lowlands now
On the other hand. Lowland gamesare becoming common in theNorth
Some of the competitors at these
games an ftne stalwart fellows
