Irish English

Irish English is the dialect of English that is spoken in Ireland.

 Accent 

 Vowels 
 /ʌ/, as in "cut" or "run", is centralised and more rounded
 "any" and "many" rhyme with "nanny"
 /eɪ/, as in "rain" or "bay", becomes [eː] ou even /ɛ/, as in "gave" or "came"
 /ɔːr/ and /oʊr/ maintain a difference and so "horse" and "hoarse" are pronounced differently

 Consonants 
 /ð/ and /θ/ are often pronounced [d] and [t], respectively
 /t/ at the end or between two vowels is often flapped
 /l/ is non-velarised unlike in American English
 "r" is always pronounced, unlike in Received Pronunciation, very often as /ɻ/
