I have not a word of gaelic and so have to be guided by those who tell me. Everyone I've heard says it that way. Maybe they're all wrong?

Slan-ge-vah, or as it's written, "slainte." Maybe there'll be occasion for a drop this evening.
Is this so in Scotch? In Irish gaelic the pronunciation is akin to 'slawn-sha'.
