Variation of English in Ireland


Hiberno-English (also known as Irish English) is the dialect of English written and spoken in Ireland (Hibernia is the Latin name of the island).

        Ireland has several main groups of accents, including (1) those of Dublin and surrounding areas on the east coast where English has been spoken since the earliest period of colonization from Britain, (2) the accents of Ulster, with a strong influence from Scotland as well as the underlying Gaelic linguistic stratum which in that province approaches the Gaelic of Scotland, and (3) the various accents of west, midlands and south.

  1. Very good, maybe you could add more information about the culture in Ireland. When you add information be sure to add a note indicating the source: For Example: "Taken from bbc.com.uk"

  2. What about adding a video that shows the Irish accent?
