NORTHERN IRISH ENGLISH. English used in Northern Ireland, of which there are four varieties: (1)
ULSTER SCOTS, also known as
Scotch-Irish, brought to the area in the 17c by Lowland Scots. It is the most northerly variety, found in Antrim, Down, Derry/Londonderry, and in eastern and central Donegal in the Irish Republic. (2)
ANGLO-IRISH or
ULSTER ENGLISH, introduced by 17c settlers from England. It stretches northward from Bundoran in the west to Dundalk in the east, has much in common with southern Anglo-Irish, and has been influenced by Ulster Scots. (3)
HIBERNO-ENGLISH, influenced by
GAELIC. It is most widely found in rural Armagh, Donegal, Fermanagh, and Tyrone. There is a further pocket in the Glens of Antrim, where Irish Gaelic was reinforced by Scottish Gaelic and survived into the 1940s. (4) The distinctive speech of
BELFAST. See
IRISH ENGLISH,
