Hiberno-English

The English language may have started life in England but its international strength is in the way it has been adapted for use by other nations.

Two academics working in UCD, Terry Dolan and John Loftus, maintain this site dedicated to the study and promotion of Hiberno-English, Hiberno being of Ireland and English being as she is spoke. The result is English as spoken by the Irish. The site provides an introduction to the history and grammar of Hiberno-English.

The site provides an introduction to the history and grammar of Hiberno-English. It also provides links to sites of Hiberno-English interests.

The main purpose is to build and maintain an archive of Hiberno-English words, phrases, sayings, and idioms, collected and collated by Professor Terence Patrick Dolan of University College Dublin - a world authority on Hiberno-English lexicography.

The creators of the site encourage visitors to make their own contributions to the archive.
