This book, 'Amhail Fuaim Chogair Bhig' should be of interest to those interested in Kilkenny Irish though I confess to have had a mere glance at it.
Here is the description from litriocht.com.
"Séamas Ó Scoireadh (c.1790-1828) agus a chuid teangeolais is ábhair don leabhar so. Bunús agus feidhm na teangan go ginearálta, agus nádúir na Gaeilge go sonrach, ba spéis leis an gCainneach san. Dhein Ó Scoireadh staidéar ar an ngramadach uilechoiteann agus ar chaint a linne féin; de réir a chéile, d’fhéach sé le caighdeán teangan a leagan amach a mbeadh an Ghaeilge fé stiúir prionsabal fealsúnta; ba mhian leis go mbeadh an caighdeán san ina uirlis chumarsáide a d’fhóinfeadh do réimsí éagsúla an tsaoil, mar an creideamh, an pholaitíocht agus an litríocht.
Séamas Ó Scoireadh (c.1790-1828) and his study of Irish linguistics, and the origin and role of the language generally. Ó Scoireadh studied the universal grammar and the way people spoke in his own time. He laid out a language standard where Irish would come under a philosophical principle. He wanted that principle to be a communication tool suitable for various fields like religion politics and literature.
Séamas Ó Scoireadh seems to be an interesting charachter, here is his bio on ainm.ie.
The book in written by Barra O Cearnaigh who wrote it originally as an award winning phd.
