Fáilte

Fáilte (IPA2|ˈfɑːʎtʲə) (Irish); Fàilte pronounced|faːld̊ʲə (Scottish Gaelic) and Failt (Manx) means "welcome". [cite web|url=http://www.proz.com/kudoz/irish_to_english/art_literary/438372-cead_mile_failte.html|title="cead mile failte"|accessdate=2008-08-11|publisher="ProZ"] The accent above the "a" is diacritic in Irish orthography known as the "fada" or "síneadh fada" and as the "sràc" (pronounced|s̪t̪ɾaːxk) in Scottish Gaelic.)

This word appears in the Irish phrase "" (one hundred thousand welcomes) as well as the similar Scottish phrase "ceud mìle fàilte". It also occurs in the name of Fáilte Ireland and its predecessor organization, Bord Fáilte (Board of Welcome). "Fáilte Towers", an RTÉ reality programme currently (2008) being broadcast in Ireland, incorporates this word in its name as well.
