Ulster - Early history.
Ulster is one of the four Irish provinces. Its name derives from the Irish language Cúige Uladh (pronounced "KOO-gi OO-lah"), meaning "Province (literally 'fifth') of the Ulaid," named for the ancient inhabitants of the region.[1] The Irish Uladh with the addition of the Old Norse ster, meaning "province," yields "Uladh Ster" or, in English, "Ulster."
The province's early history extends further back than written records and is known only by legends such as the ...

| | | | Ulster Scots language: Encyclopedia II - Ulster Irish - Phonology The phonemic inventory of Ulster Irish (based on the accent of Gweedore) is as shown in the following chart (based on Ní Chasaide 1999; see International Phonetic Alphabet for an explanation of the symbols). Symbols appearing in the upper half of each row are velarized (traditionally called "broad" consonants) while those in the bottom half are palatalized ("slender"). The consonants /h, n, l/ are neither broad or slender.
The vowels of Ulster Irish are as shown on the following chart. These positions are only approximate, as vowels are strongly influenced by the palatalization a ...

| | | | Ulster Scots language: Encyclopedia II - Ulster Irish - Syntax The Ulster dialect uses the present tense of the subjunctive mood in certain cases where other dialects prefer to use the future indicative:
Suigh síos anseo ag mo thaobh, a Shéimí, go dtuga mé comhairle duit agus go n-insí mé mo scéal duit.
Sit down here by my side, Séimí, til I give you some advice and tell you my story.

Ulster Irish - Initial mutations.
Ulster Irish has the same two initial mutations, lenition and eclipsis, as the other two dialects and the standard language, and mostly uses them the same way. There is, however, one exception: in Ulster, a dative singular noun after the definite article is lenited (e.g. ar an chrann "on the tree"), whereas in Connacht and Munster, it is eclipsed (ar an gcrann). Both possibilities are allowed for in the standard language.

The general southern dialect has its origins in the English immigrants who moved to the South in the 17th and 18th centuries, of whom most were of European Celtic origins (according to an 1860 census, "three-quarters of white Southerners had surnames that were Scottish, Irish or Welsh in origin."

Culture of Ireland - Agriculture and rural life.
As archaeological evidence from sites such as the Céide Fields in County Mayo and Lough Gur in County Limerick demonstrates, farming in Ireland is an activity that goes back to the very beginnings of human settlement. In historic times, texts such as the Táin Bó Cúailinge show a society in which cattle represented a primary source of wealth and status. Little of this had changed by the time of the Norman conquest of Ireland in the 12th century. Giraldus Cambren ...

The introduction of Irish to Ireland dates from some time after 1200 BC.2 The earliest form of the language, Primitive Irish, is found in ogham inscriptions up to about the 4th centuryAD.
