The Forth and Bargy dialect also known as Yola is an extinct variety of English once spoken in the baronies of Forth and Bargy in County Wexford Ireland. It is thought to have evolved from Middle English which was brought to Ireland during the Norman invasion beginning in 1169. As such it was similar to the Fingallian dialect of the Fingal area. Both became extinct in the 19th century when they were replaced by modern Hiberno-English. The name Yola means old in the dialect.
