The Irish dialect

Here is a link to a page where you can find examples of the Irish dialect

http://web.ku.edu/~idea/europe/ireland/ireland.htm


The samples didn’t differ as much from the ordinary English we are used to hear as I expected. I’m not certain that the persons featured on the dialect samples would speak the same way if I met them on the street. Anyway the dialect sample number 10 gives you a good impression of the Irish dialect.
