Sinn Féin

According to Wikipedia, "The phrase Sinn Féin is Irish for 'Ourselves' or 'We Ourselves', although it is frequently mistranslated as 'ourselves alone' (from Sinn Féin Amháin, an early–20th–century slogan). The name is an assertion of Irish national sovereignty and self–determination; i.e., the Irish people governing themselves, rather than being part of a political union with Great Britain under the Westminster Parliament."

Most readers of this website will be aware that Sinn Féin is pronounced "shin fain".
