Yola language
Yola, more commonly and historically the Forth and Bargy dialect, was a dialect of the Middle English language once spoken widely in the baronies of Forth and Bargy in County Wexford, Ireland. It is thought to have evolved from the form of Middle English which was brought to Ireland during the Norman invasion, beginning in 1169. As such, it was probably similar to the Fingallian dialect of the Fingal area. Both became functionally extinct in the 19th century when they were replaced by modern Hiberno-English. The word "Yola" means "old" in the dialect.
