This review is from: A Pronouncing and Etymological Dictionary of the Gaelic Language: Gaelic-English/English-Gaelic (Paperback)
There may be better dictionaries available for Gaelic, but I know of none in this price range. The two main dictionaries people have to choose between are this one and that of Alexander McBain. Maclennan's dictionary contains everything that McBain's has, since it was based on McBain, but it also contains, in addition to further vocabulary, an English-Gaelic section.
If your main desire is to speak modern Gaelic, this one isn't for you - words like "internet" will not be found here - but if you are fascinated by the older language, it will provide you with a great deal of information. Of particular use to me were the Old Irish words listed as derivations, which I can use for the moment in lieu of a proper Old Irish dictionary. |
