This volume tells the story of the English language in Ireland over
the first millennium. It explains how speakers of English, Scots
and Irish Gaelic forged a linguistic amalgam that was carried
around the world. It shows how the distilled essence of the
language of the three communities provided a rich medium for
writers, and suggests that this variety has contributed greatly to
World English. The book traces the history of the English language
in Ireland, its relationship with Irish Gaelic, its development
into varieties now known as Anglo-Irish, Ulster Scots and
Hiberno-English, and its spread to other parts of the world,
including North America, Australia, Britain, the Caribbean and
Africa. The book also includes a dictionary of Irish words in
English.
