IRISH ENGLISH

· Irish English is a variety of the English language that is used in Ireland. Also known as Hiberno-English or Anglo-Irish.

· The Irish English accent is a combination of Gaelic and English

· Irish has distinctive varietal features of pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar, although patterns vary considerably between North and South and East and West.

· Although the knowledge of Irish among the majority is, in general, very poor, there is a curious habit of flavoring one's speech by adding a few words from Irish, what is sometimes called using the cú pla focal (Irish 'couple of words')

· Some well know known characteristics of the grammar of southern Irish English include the following:

1) Stative verbs can be used with progressive aspect:
I'm seeing it very well; This is belong to me.

2) The adverb after can be used with a progressive where a perfective would be used in other varieties:
I'm after seeing him ('I've just seen him'). This is a loan translation from Irish.

3) Clefting is common, and it is extended to use with copular verbs:
It was very well that he looked; Is it stupid you are? Again, this shows a substrate effect from Irish.

· Pronounciation:
