Pronunciation of Saoirse in Ireland

The Irish pronunciation of Saoirse is

   Slow

S-EE-r-sh-uh

S(a) = "S" when not followed by I or E make a regular "S" sound

aoi = make a long EE sound

(i)r = Irish can have a rolled/guttural sort of R, but the "i" tells us to use a "slender/regular" English R.

s(e) = When "s" is followed by "e" or "i" makes "sh" sound.

e = no fada, so short sound like "eh"

So, together we have S-ee-r-sh-uh. Or, SEER-shuh
