Excerpt: The Aran Islands (Irish: Aran Islands pronunciation: ) or The Arans (na hrainneacha ) are a group of three islands located at the mouth of Galway Bay, on the west coast of Ireland. They constitute the barony of Aran in County Galway, Ireland. From west to east they are: Inishmore (rainn Mhr/Inis Mr or ), the largest; Inishmaan (Inis Mein/Inis Meadhin ), the second-largest; and Inisheer (Inis Thiar/Inis Orr/Inis Oirthir or ), the smallest. Irish is the main spoken language on all three islands, and is the language used naming the islands and their villages and townlands. The approaches to the bay between the Aran Islands and the mainland are as follows: Year round ferry services exist, but it should be noted that all ferries are passenger only, with no car ferry available. Although ferry services operate year round, none presently operate from Galway Harbour, and only Aran Island Ferries operate a year round service from Rossaveal in County Galway, connected by a bus service from Galway city.
