Extract

Northern Irish Accents
Features:
Centralized pronunciation of the diphthong in words like mouth or mound: this can be IPA məʉnd, mɑʉnd, or a number of other variants. Hence mouth can sound a bit like “maith” or “moyth” to a British or American listener.
The “oo” in “goose” is pronounced very far in the front of the mouth (as in Scottish and London English). This can be ʉ, or a number of other variants.

Different grammar
The most famous of originally Irish words these is craic [this is an Irish word, but is actually borrowed from English], “fun” or enjoyment, but also used to ask how things are How’s the craic? Any craic?

In the Irish language the verb of the question is repeated.
Can you swim? I can!
Do you like tomato juice? I don’t.
Are you coming? I amn’t.

Yes, you read that right: amn’t. This is one I’m surprised other English speakers don’t use! You say isn’t, don’t, aren’t… It’s logical if you ask me!
