Buaidh na Gàidhlig air Dualchainnt Beurla Ghallda Rois is Chrombaigh

Bliadhnaichean air ais dh’fhaoillseachadh sàr leabhar den ainm “Dualchainnt Iasgairean Chrombaidh” (ri fhaicinn air “https://www.ambaile.org.uk/”). B’ e dualchainnt air leth inntinneach agus àraidh a bha Dualchainnt Rois is Crombaigh: tha i air a thighinn o Bheurla Ghallda a chanadh anns an sgìre le teachd luchd-bruidhinn Beurla Ghallda san t-siathamh linn deug. Canar gun robh cainntean measgaichte anns an dualchainnt fhèin a bhiodh tuathanaich, luchd-bhaile agus maraichean a chleachdadh nam measg fa leth, mar a leughar ann an Leabhar “East Sutherland Gaelic”, le Nancy Dorian, far am biodh cainnt nan Tuathanach eadar-dhealaichte bho chainnt nam maraiche.

’S urrainnear mòran a leughadh ma deidhinn air anns an “Litir Bhig 215”, agus tha sàr ghoireas aig “Cromarty Courthouse Museum”, far a bheil “Faclair Dualchainnt Iasgairean Chrombaigh” aca a tha air leth goireasach agus altmhor.

Leis gur e Gàidhlig prìomh chànan na sgìre mun d’ thàinig luchd-labhairt Beurla Ghallda chaidh mheasgachadh is driolamas a dhèanamh leis an dà chànan agus tha sin sin soilleir ri claistinn agus leughadh ann am briathrachas an dualchainnt. Bheir sinn sùil air faclan airidh far a bheil buaidh na Gàidhlig soilleir ri fhaicinn agus chlaistinn, a dh’aindeoin diofaran a tha air nochdadh a thaobh mìneachadh no fuaimneachadh an fhacail.
