Máirtín Ó Murchú

Máirtín Ó Murchú is an Irish professor of Celtic studies and emeritus professor of the Dublin Institute of Advanced Studies.[1][2] He previously also was Director of the School of Celtic at DIAS and a Professor of Irish at Trinity College Dublin.[3]

He has published widely on Irish and Scottish Gaelic linguistics and the Irish language in general, such as the handbook on the state of the Irish language (co-authored with Helen Ó Murchú) for the European Bureau for Lesser-Used Languages[4] or the section on Irish in Blackwell's Encyclopedia of the Languages of Europe[5]

He has also been fundamental in the development of a standard pronunciation for Irish, the Lárchanúint, in particular his 1969 article Common Core and Underlying Forms which has been described as ground-breaking.[6]
