Irish English is the dialect of the English language spoken in Ireland.
Vowels
- /ʌ/ as in "cut" or "run" is centralized and more rounded
- "any" and "many" rhyme with "nanny"
- /eɪ/ as in "rain" or "bay" becomes [eː] ou even /ɛ/ as in "gave" or "came"
- the distinction between /ɔːr/ and /oʊr/ is maintained ; hence "horse" and "hoarse" are pronounced differently
