   No, it's not the same as it used to be at all.  You now have the   
   "caighdean", a standard devised without any regard to how the language   
   is written by native speakers in any of the Gaeltachta, and indeed   
   without any regard as to how it is pronounced since consonant clusters   
   that are still pronounced in many places have been dropped completely.
