No, you're both right, it's just that in the case of bliadhna there's an additional historical reasons kicking around.

but as I was saing, the CR isn't synonymous with Bohemia.

I know that but I suggested modifying Moraibh with na Seice to give someone an additional clue as to the location so it's clearly not in Scotland.

bliadhna historically is already a plural, that's why

It's also the word for the czech republic, most languages have homophones of some sort of other. "Bohemia" - tha seo dhe "Boio-heim", Tir nam Boii. "Silesia" - 's e "Tir nan Silingi", 's dòcha, seann daoine Bhandalaich. "Moravia" - 's dòcha dhen abha...

Yes, I agree, people would tend to use the English words in spoken Gaelic. You could turn to the Irish forms for the written language, they have An Bhoithéim for Bohemia. Can't find Moravia. If you gaelicised them, you'd end up with A' Bhoitheam (Gaelic doesn't allow long vowels in unstressed syllab...

Kayakadh would work. Caiagadh, please don't, the Gaelic spelling system is such a thing of efficient beauty and that one breaks about everything there is to break

It would have to be caidheagadh to comply with Gaelic pronunciation rules.

CaidheagadhAlba I guess then, or KayakadhAlba?

I'm not sure that curach is a convicing word for canoe even, most people I've met talk about canù because a coracle is about as much of a canoe as a water buffalo is a ballet dancer. Without context it's hard to say. Curachan could either be a plural or a diminuitive. Most dictionaries list curaiche...

You mean in the same way as those other (ugly) noun phrases are built that you see these days (TravelScotland, CareersScotland, CyclingScotland)? Well... there's the literal way of doing it by just sticking Alba on and then there's the way that take into account that that combination really doesn't ...

Gaelic pronunciation may be a bit more irregular and unpredictable... I object violently LOL. There is a beautifully regular correspondence between the spelling and the pronunciation in Scots Gaelic. It's just not always obvious at first sight. I've been collecting words for years now where the spe...

An-dà, tachraidh sin uaireannan, gun dèid pàirt de dh'ainm-àite mar sin eadar-theangachadh (agus fiù gu ceart uaireannan!) ach 's e an duilgheadas as motha a th' aig ainm sam bith mar sin gum feum thu a sgaoileadh sa choimhearsnachd mus bi e èifachdail. Faodaidh tu liost mòr de dh'ainmean a chur ri ...

Irish grammar is a lot more complex than Scots Gaelic :b

Duh duh duh, tha coltas gun do chuir iad làrach ùr beò nach eil deiseil fhathast. Ma thèid thu gu duilleag rannsachaidh a rinn mi air Google http://www.google.co.uk/search?as_q=&hl=gd&num=10&btnG=Rannsaich+le+Google&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&lr=&cr=&as_ft=i&as_fil...

Bah.... What they haven't figured is that there is a small group of Gaelic words which have what I call variable vowel length. It means that depending on the context, these words can have: 1) hiatus 2) long vowel 3) short vowel 4) no vowel In a stressed context, you get the long (as a rule of thumb)...

Most software (Whiteboards, Google) use clàr-taic(e).

I'd recommend ceanglaiche instead of ceangal, there's too much room for confusion with ceangal. I know ceanglaiche is also used for copula in grammar but the meaning is the same.
