Australian
Some of the constructs discussed here can also be found in rural Australian areas. C.J. Dennis' "The Sentimental Bloke" and some of Henry Lawson's writings can be used to see the forms that have their origins in Irish and Irish-Gaelic in the Australian Language. Some of these are similar to Newfoundland accent.
