It sounds like gaelic but I'm not sure

Irish Gaelic for "this I promise you".

Yes !!! I had guessed it was Irish gaelic

Esenthiel, can you confirm the spelling for 'dhuit' ? I thought it was 'duit', like in 'Dia is Muire duit'.

Thanks,
Geoffrey

D(h)uit is aspirated by "g(h)eallaim", which is aspirated by "a", as it is in "Dia Dhuit' (Pronounced as Dee-uh goo-et with a strong emphasis on the oo and the eh sound is very slight)
