The Gaelic alphabet is full of characters

Whether you have just begun to learn Gaelic or have been learning for a while, you will have noticed that the Gaelic alphabet works quite differently to the English (or  almost any other) alphabet. 
I like to think of the letters as people with their own personalities. Once you get to know them you can predict how they are going to behave in different situations.
​So with that in mind let me introduce you to a few interesting people:

T

The letter T has a strong personality, you might even say stubborn. It wants its voice heard so it will resist lenition where possible. When it does lenite it makes an 'H' sound.
 It likes to hang out with its best friend D. They are good friends and make sounds that are closer to each other than the English sounds.
When it gets around the slender vowels it makes a 'ch' sound.
