    Irish English has two official languages: Irish and English. English became dominant in Ireland in the late 19th century after being introduced by Norman invaders in the 12th century. There are several categories of Irish accents including those from Dublin, southwest Ireland, and Northern Ireland. The Irish accent is considered rhotic. Historically, English rule in Ireland through acts like the Statue of Kilkenny and Penal Laws suppressed the Irish language and further developed the Irish accent. When compared to British accents, the Irish accent is faster and pronounces the 'h' after 'w', with northern accents having more flattened vowels similar to Scotland or America.
