How do you pronounce Leanan Sidhe?
Answer:
When spelled Leanan Sídhe, it is pronounced "Lah-nan Shee-uh." This is the older form, pre-Caighdeán spelling and pronunciation. The leanan sídhe was a member of the aes sídhe who would grant inspiration, though the inspiration came at a cost of an early death, frequently after insanity.
It is not uncommon to find claims that sídhe is pronounced "shee," but that is how you pronounce the Caighdeán spelling of sí. When the IPA (ˈʃiːə) is examined, it is clear that there is a distinct "uh" sound at the end of sídhe. Contrast that with the IPA for sí, (ˈʃiː), and it is obvious even from a cursory glance that there is a difference in pronunciation.
Language trivia: Leannan is the Gaelic word for lover or sweetheart.
