Originally published in 1906, this study by E. C. Quiggin was, as
its author put it, 'the first serious attempt at a scientific
description of a northern dialect of Irish'. Quiggin maintained
that collecting linguistic data from the people who were born
before the famine was of immediate concern because their particular
grasp of the vernacular would help shed much-needed light on the
mysteries of Old and Middle Irish orthography. Drawn primarily from
evidence of the speech found in a hamlet called Meenawannia near
Donegal, this volume represents a fascinating case study of the
Irish language at the beginning of the twentieth century.
