I've noticed

That is seems popular in certain circles to add a little extra into the middle of Tayvallich thus rendering it Tay - vee - alick.
This evening news had a piece about Belarus and I noticed a very similar little extra creep into that - thus rendering it Bee - yell - aroos.

Are the two connected?

‘Certain circles’...?

That’ll be blow ins , tourists and other undesirables no doubt. :lol:

Anyway is it not time you were back up here to buy me beer?

Oh, and in other news the Galley was closed to punters last Friday night due to ‘staff shortages’ :shock:

A pub. Bar closed on a FRIDAY night? Shocking.

Hasn’t language always changed? Do the indigenous not represent staleness and stagnation, rejection of the inevitability of change? Gaelic word pronouncement is a good example of variable sounds for the same word depending on the area the person is from, allegedly. Listen to any Weegie and they love adding the aey sound, to the end of a word that terminated in an “e” e.g. Tenerife pronounced, Tenerifeaye.

Likely the answer is much simpler. Metropolitan elites are attempting to differentiate their superiority by using customised word pronouncements. Unlike Weegies who are generally thick and struggle with elocution, even in the vernacular.

I don't think there are any indigenous residents of Tayvallich left.

Is it not the case that the place is now a holiday camp occupied during the holiday period of August. Same situation as Plockton.

If it was not for your superior breeding and lineage, Claysie I thought you may have been baiting us there...

Regarding its pronunciation, I was once told that the name used nou was an anglisisation of tigh a bhealach and thus tay-vee-slich is fair approximation of the Gaelic

Or as in Tyndrum (Taigh an Droma). But what about Taynuilt (Taigh an Uillt)?
