As such, it was similar to the Fingallian dialect of the Fingal area. |
The short extract below provides a good example of Fingallian. |
Fingallian or the Fingal dialect is an extinct variety of English formerly spoken in Fingal, Ireland. |
Fingallian was spoken in the region of Fingal, traditionally the part of County Dublin north of the River Tolka, and now a separate county. |
Although little is known of Fingallian, it is thought to have been similar to the Forth and Bargy dialect of County Wexford. |
After this point, the Forth and Bargy dialect and Fingallian were the only attested relicts of this original form of English. |
