I heard somewhere that we speak a mild 'Elizabethan' English in the West of Ireland... no idea if this is true really. Although my parents use some archaic words: "Pass me yon cup please." (Yon as in yonder = that cup) "It's a bully old day." (bully = good, grand) "That's a quare setup." (quare = strange) "Oh aye... that's right." (aye* = yes) *common in Northern Ireland / Scotland too We use "woe" a lot. (woe = misery) Em... that's it really I suppose.
