# About the Irish Language

The Irish text is written in [Cló Gaelach](https://www.pgdp.net/wiki/Cló_Gaelach) (Irish/Insular script).  If you are not familiar with Cló Gaelach, please review [this wiki page](https://www.pgdp.net/wiki/Cló_Gaelach) to learn more. For general information on proofing Irish-language texts, see [this wiki page](https://www.pgdp.net/wiki/Irish).

# Proofing

Proofreaders with any level of Irish are welcome in rounds P1 and P2. General instructions for Cló Gaelach projects:

* Proof consonants with a dot over them as the same consonant followed by an h, as in modern Irish. For example, proof "ċaoiṁ" as "chaoimh."
* This text uses both the word "agus" ("and") and the Tironian et, which looks like this: ⁊ . Please represent this character with an ampersand (&). The OCR software automatically replaced ⁊  with "agus"; I've tried to go back and fix them all, but if I missed any, please match the scan.
* Cló Gaelach uses the same letter forms for lowercase and capital letters. Take extra care and ask or leave a note if you're not sure if something should be upper or lower case.
* Match the scan; do not modernise or standardise the Irish. If you think there is a typo, leave a [**note] but leave the text as it appears on the page.
* Please use WordCheck in all rounds and suggest any correctly spelled Irish words. I will use your suggestions to improve the Good Words List in future Irish language projects.

# Formatting

Remember that there are no separate uppercase and lowercase letter forms, and therefore **no small caps** in Cló Gaelach. Use ALL CAPS for headings unless they start with a larger "capital" letter.

Please **use <f> tags** for:
* English (Roman) words or phrases in the middle of a Cló Gaelach section (this is sometimes used for English loanwords or names)
* Cló Gaelach words or phrases in the middle of a section in English or in Roman type. This is often used for Irish words even in English language introductions or notes.

Illustrations above chapter headings

Where an illustration appears above a chapter heading, please put four blank lines both above and below the [Illustration] tag, as shown in LOFE 108-08A.
