This book traces Irish language words, phrases and references in Australian newspapers, poetry, novels, and in Australian English. It begins with a discussion of the written evidence we have of Irish speakers in Australia, from convicts to priests. Readers will be surprised to learn how some of the most iconic Australian words, such as 'sheila' and 'brumby', are revealed to be Irish words in disguise. A detailed glossary of Irish words in Australian writing shows just how important this contribution to Australian English has been.
