We say filum they film. In Newry it's cyar instead of car. Mannikin Street instead of Monaghan St. And that wee furry yoke that shites in your garden and chases mice is a cyat!!!!

Dart as in "feck, I'd love to give hur the dart.

Definitely an Ulster thing...same with the pronunciation of the name Haughey.

Ulster says Hawkey
Rest say Hawhee

I beg to differ.  Perhaps in East Ulster, eg. Down and Antrim where I have noticed what Seamus Heaney referred to as "guttural muse" is not as prevalent.  I once read that it was/is a deliberate policy to "unIrish" the pronunciation of words/placenames, eg. LepraKaun/Leprechaun etc.

In parts of the west 'abroad', as in "I was abroad in the field/bog".

Agree. It's more of a Belfast/Down thing to pronounce the GH as a K. The locals pronounce Finaghy as Fin - ak - ee whereas I'd say Fin - a - he must to their amusement the wastards.

Don't mean this in a bad way but around my area it seemed that Catholics and Protestants said places differently.  Like Bellaghy/Bellacky Maghera/Mackera etc.  Never knew why the 'gh' got a 'k'

That goes up as far as Lurgan too.  Belfast people skip out the Y and it sounds odd to Lurgan ears.

This is a hangover from Irish.  The addition of a 'u' sound to film (filum) and Colm (Colum) is an example of what is called an epenthetic vowel. "Umberella" is another example.  There are also epenthetic consonants e.g. many GAA fans will make a couple of loaves of "sangwiches" on the morning of a big game.

In parts of the west 'abroad', as in "I was abroad in the field/bog".

"Abroad" is a literal translation of "thall" from Irish. 

"Thall i Meiriceá" is "Over in America" or "Abroad in America". English has 2 words where Irish has one. 

I remember when I was young listening to an elderly neighbour who said "Tommy is abroad in the workshop" . I was confused because I thought the workshop down the road was still in Ireland.
