Céad míle fáilte

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Céad míle fáilte (IPA: [kʲeːd ˈmʲiːlʲə ˈfɑːʎtʲə]) is an Irish greeting meaning "a hundred thousand welcomes." Its Scottish Gaelic equivalent is the very similar Ceud mìle fàilte (IPA: [kʲʰiət ˈmiːlʲə ˈfɑːʎtʃə]).

Both expressions are widely used by the tourist industries in Ireland, Scotland, and Nova Scotia.
