it's mentioned in david crystal's The Cambridge Encyclopedia of the English Language as a feature of hiberno english — which is just irish english in general (as spoken in both nothern ireland and ROI) so it's not super specific. but I guess it'll do

#no because i've done some very superficial research (not today)#and i couldn't find it mentioned anywhere as a feature of ulster english (northern irish english) specifically#i've been looking at maps (yeah i know)#and armagh (the town) would fall within the area that speaks mid-ulster english (a subset of ulster english). i think#but the county itself is actually in a transition zone between mid-ulster english and south ulster english so#might be a bit of a mix idk. its not like accents respect imaginary boundaries#but anyway. i've had a look at some papers about ulster/mid ulster english#and not a mention of this. and some went really IN DEPTH like.#its strange? it seems like a very distinctive feature#sorry. terribly interesting stuff i know#phonology enthusiasts do interact#ramblings#*not merlin
