A Brief History of Irish English
Irish English developed from the influence of Old and Middle English brought to Ireland during the Norman invasion and later the English colonization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Irish English differs from Standard British English in several ways. It features a rhotic accent, meaning the “r” at the end of words is pronounced. Vowel sounds can be more rounded or nasalized, and dental fricatives (“th” sounds) are often pronounced as “t” or “d.” Additionally, Irish English includes unique idiomatic expressions and vocabulary influenced by Irish Gaelic and regional dialects. Understanding these nuances is essential to create the ideal voice over for this region.
