Large towns?

Why isn't Carlow in the list of large towns with a population of 20,724?

Stadr not S + Tir

Leinster, Munster and Ulster are all Anglicised forms of Viking names for the three provinces. The Old Norse word used for territory/place/region was stadr not Nordic S-genitive and the Irish tír, meaning country. It is even stated in the Ulster Wikipedia article as stadr as well as on web, so i think it should be used here.

It sounds good in theory but why would the Danes use the Irish word for it when they have a word of their own meaning near enough the same thing and coincidentally sounding slightly the same? Mabuska (talk) 22:04, 14 July 2008 (UTC)

Scope

As per this IWNB discussion, there are concerns that this article (and indeed other articles on the provinces) may include content only very loosely related to the subject. Specifically, in the case here, while there may be a "Leinster History" (eg Laighin, Kingdom of Leinster, the Pale, etc), "Leinster Sport" (eg Rugby team, GAA provincial organisation, etc), and "Leinster Geography" (eg the counties that make up the province) it is skirting OR and SYNTH to imply that there is a "Leinster Culture" or "Leinster Economy" (as distinct from that of the rest of the country, the Dublin Region, the regions or anything that follows actual provincial bounds). Thoughts are welcome before possibly restoring to something akin to a version before such concepts were added/invented. Guliolopez (talk) 20:35, 4 February 2016 (UTC)

OK. I left this sit for 2 weeks or so. And didn't hear anything that suggested the apparent broad consensus elsewhere wasn't applicable here. So I went ahead and removed the "Economy" and "Venues" sections (as neither of these things are organised on a provincial basis), and moved/reworded the "Culture" section to reference those sporting entities (which are actually organised on a provincial basis).

IPA

I’m not overly familiar with Leinster Irish, but from a Donegal-centric perspective, the IPA for Laighin and Laighean seem wrong to me. Phonetically, I would pronounce Laighean as written, [l̪ˠaɪnˠ] (or [l̪ˠaɪənˠ]), but that doesn’t adhere to the Wikipedia IPA notation for Irish, according to which it ought to be [l̪ˠəinˠ].

But more oddly, how/where does Laighin, which I would pronounce identically except for the slender final consonant, [l̪ˠəi(ɪ)nʲ], grow an extra syllable and a long vowel to become [l̪ˠaːjɪnʲ]? Kokoshneta (talk) 18:12, 5 January 2020 (UTC)
