Ирландский английский. В Ирландии два государственных языка, ирландский и английский. Ирландская версия английского сильно отличается от того, что используется в оксфордском словаре.
Поэтому англичане, часто не могут понять, что им хотели сказать ирландцы. А учитывая акцент, который присутствует в различных частях страны, даже общение между жителями острова становится проблемой.
Ниже слов и определения используемые ирландцами и англичанами.
