Do you pronounce the vowel in goose the same as the vowel in book, or different. ?. Don't be a silly goose, let us know how you say both by taking the "Sounds About Right" survey on the Speak for Yersel site!.

Dancin' in the disco, bumper to bumper, wait a minute, where's me. [jumper/sweater/ganzy]?. Like Cork's own Sultans of Ping F.C. in their 1992 tune Where's Me Jumper?, most people use jumper rather than ganzy (from Irish geansaí). Which do you use. ?

It's the Irish premiere of #Gladiator2 today, starring Kildare's own Paul Mescal! . But will you go to watch the film (the blue dots) or the filum (green)? . If you speak English with an Irish accent, tell us how you pronounce by taking the surveys at

Where in Ireland do people use the word 'bazzer'. ? If you've never heard of it before, maybe you've not spent enough time in Cork!. But is it used outside the county? Outside the city even? Help us find out by filling in the surveys!. #cork #corcaigh

If you're after completing the surveys, let us know! Or, better yet, send them on to others to put themselves on the map. Help us spread Speak for Yersel as far and as wide as possible so we can get a picture of Ireland in all its diversity.

How do you get two whales/to Wales in a mini? You drive there! (Yeah, that doesn't really work written down now does it. ?). But do you pronounce Wales and whales the same way? The jury seems split on this one so far!

What do you call someone from the country?. Interestingly. all of those who responded 'bogger' were outside Dublin! . What word would you use? Take a look at the maps for yourself, or add your own voice at #Dublin #Ireland

The map is filling up! . Where do people use 'bohereen' (from Irish bóithrín) and where do people say 'lane'. ? . These kinds of questions might help us to find out where there might be a stronger influence of the Irish language on how people speak English in Ireland!
