Puirt a beul puirt a beul, is a traditional form of song native to Scotland, Ireland, and Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. The Scottish Gaelic for such a tune is port a beul: "a tune from a mouth—specifically a cheerful tune—which in the plural becomes puirt a beul. In mainland Britain they are usually referred to as puirt a beul but a variety of other spellings and mis-spellings also exist, for example port-a-beul, puirt a bheul, puirt a' bheil etc. These are mostly due to the fact that a number of grammatical particles in Gaelic are very similar in nature, such as the definite article a', the prepositions "of" and to" which can both be a and the preposition a "from" which can appear without the acute accent. Modern Irish dictionaries give port(aireacht) beil, translated as "mouth music" also referred to as lilting. Older dictionaries, such as Dineen, only give portaideact, portaireact or portonact.
