Re: What is a leprechaun?

Although in that other dialect of Gaelic - the one they speak in Scotland -
it is 'nan Og' (forgive the lack of accents)

And before some jump in and say that Irish and Scottish Gaelic aren't
dialects, it depends on what  you mean by a dialect.  To me it means
variants of a language which can be understood by other speakers and I can
understand many Gaelic speakers when the speak Gaelic!
