Mid-Ulster English, also spelled Mid Ulster English, (Ulster Scots: Mid-Ulstèr Inglis, Irish: Béarla Lár Uladh), also called Standard Northern Irish,[1] Ulster Scots: Staundart Norlin Airish, Irish: Éireannach Tuaisceartach Caighdeánach) often abbreviated to MUE, is a subdialect of Ulster English. It is spoken in some parts of Northern Ireland and Donegal.[2] The term Mid-Ulster English sometimes means English in Northern Ireland not derived from Scots.[3] Despite its name, Mid-Ulster English is spoken in most parts of Ulster. It is spoken in every county in Northern Ireland plus County Donegal in the Republic of Ireland.
