This is the traditional language of Irish travellers. One is unlikely to ever come across this in records, much less so than Irish. | This is the traditional language of Irish travellers. One is unlikely to ever come across this in records, much less so than Irish.<br> | ||
Spelling may make some records difficult to read. Prior to 1900, spelling was often phonetic. Family and place-names were often spelled as they sounded to the writer. And given names were often abbreviated.<br> | |||
Handwriting may also make records difficult to read. Writing styles have changed over time. With practice you should be able to decipher most of the difficult words and letters you will encounter in Irish records.<br> | |||
