Many of the sources that I&rsquo;m using will often give multiple examples or ways to say different phrases based on the dialect of Irish (i.e Ulster, Connacht or Munster). I know a bit of spoken Irish already from my great grandma who came from a small town (Ballynacally) southwest of Ennis Co. Clare. This happens to be exactly in between the two dialect groups Connacht and Munster. I was wondering if anyone happened to know to which dialect (Connacht or Munster ) the Irish spoken there (around Ennis or Co. Clare in general) belongs. I haven&rsquo;t the slightest clue when it comes to written Irish so I can&rsquo;t tell for myself which dialect I speak in/am already familiar with. Any help would be greatly appreciated! &nbsp;&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
