| In the Irish language, a consonant has more than one sound. They can be either broad consonants or slender. Broad consonants are preceded or followed by the vowels a, o and u. Slender consonants are preceded or followed by the vowels e or i. There are exceptions where one consonant is 'eclipsed' by another and the aspirated consonants, which we will list in separate tables. |
