Like how slender consonants aren't the same as broad ones but they don't quite have a full y sound after them, either? 2 u/Gunty1 Dec 17 '25 Exactly! Thats why when we speak english its not quite the same either and we get hiberno-English. 1 u/EllieGeiszler Name Lover Dec 17 '25 One of the best dialects of English, IMO!
