This video is all about Hiberno English, also known as IRISH English - the varieties of Irish spoken in Ireland and Northern Ireland. In this video I talk about its history, accents, vocabulary, and grammar.

Special thanks to Peter O’Brien for his suggestions and audio samples, as well as Mike Synnott and Jude Murphy for their feedback and suggestions.

I'm Irish. The video highlights, almost exclusively, the features of the Dublin dialect. While many are common throughout the country, most of the features highlighted are exclusive to Dublin, specifically, the Dublin working class. Great video. Really interesting to have our dialect and accent described with such expertise. Very well done.

"Yer wan" for women and "Yer man" for men (or your one and your man) is a unique thing that we Irish say. I sometimes say it by accident with other nationalities and when I explain they think its strange. But I really like it. Its a really handy way to refer to someone we don't know the name of or their job/position

A feature that creeps into Hiberno English is the fact we often dont answer with a yes or no. Those dont exist in Irish, and that has carried over to our English to a large extent. "Are you going to the shop?" "I am" ,as opposed to a simple "yes". "Did you get that in France?" "I did."

A note from an Irish painter and decorator "Let ye not be walking on the stairs until it's after drying". I've kept it for many years, it's just beautiful.

During my trip to Sligo, Ireland last summer one Irish English phrase I would often hear was "Thanks a million".

Irish dude here, I live and grew up in Ireland and have been all over the country, this video is highly accurate and clearly well researched. My only note is that this is a real Dublin way of speaking, which is uniquely Irish, but a bit different to the softer accents of much of the country. A really fun watch to have our accent broken down by it's defining features! An-mhaith!

There are some loan words in English from Irish such as "galore" in English comes from "go leor" in Irish meaning "a lot". Also brogues like the shoes, broga is the Irish word for shoe. Smithereens, like when something smashes into a million pieces comes from the word smidirĂ­nĂ­. I'm sure there are others as well

One feature I'm missing in this video, is the marked tendency among Irish English speakers to avoid using 'yes' and 'no' in response to direct questions. Q: Are you alright? A: I am. Q: Did you bring the book? A: I did. Q: Is it time to go? A: It is. Q: Have you seen her recently? A: I have not.  I believe this derives from lack of specific yes/no words in the Gaelic, although I'm not 100% sure of that. I do wonder if this is still the norm among younger speakers as I haven't socialised with Irish people for quite some time now.

I’m kinda surprised you never touched on “give out” - it’s probably the most commonly used phrase here, that foreigners just do not understand intuitively!

I would argue that pluralising the word "you" is actually a very useful feature of language. (BTW i am from Belfast)

One of my favourites is "Jaysus, 8 o clock already and not a child in the house washed"

I'm Irish and I always say "will" instead of "should". I'll say "Will we leave?" instead of "Should we leave?" and people will be confused as to why I'm questioning whether we're leaving at all, when what I'm really trying to communicate is that we should get a move on.

One thing I hear my Irish friends use that wasn't mentioned is "your man". I think it means something like "that guy"

At least in Western Ireland, people still use the archaic English "ye", the plural form of "you". "Are ye going on holiday?" (said to a group of people) vs "Are you going on holiday?" (said to one specific person).

Other Irish-isms I picked up when I lived there: more frequent negative sentence constructions for questions: “Do you not know?” “Are ya not coming out wit’ us?”; the emphatic use of “so”: “That’s fine so”; “yer man” or “yer wan”: “Who’s yer man, the one from the pub?” - can be used to refer to someone whose name you don’t remember; “Come here”: “Brian, come ‘ere while I tell ya” - which doesn’t mean to approach them, just to pay attention; frequent use of “like”, especially by friends from Limerick “Ya know, like”; repetition of “Bye” at end of phone calls “ok, bye now - bye bye bye”. And so many others

A classic Irish phrase which makes perfect sense to us is "Come in out of the rain!".
