Pronunciation

  • (Munster) IPA(key): /ˈtʲaɡəsˠk/
  • (Connacht) IPA(key): /ˈtʲaɡəsˠ/ (corresponding to the form teagas)
  • (Ulster) IPA(key): (South Donegal) /ˈtʲɨɡəsˠk/ (as if spelled tiogasc), (Central Donegal) /ˈtʲɨɣəsˠk/ (as if spelled tioghasc), (North Donegal) /ˈtʲɛɡəsˠk/

The form teagas, with the final c dropped, is due partly to metanalysis of the phrase teagasc Críostaí (catechism), in which the final /k/ of the first word is assimilated to the initial /c/ of the second word, and partly to the influence of the suffix -as.
