Der Thread erhielt viele Reaktionen, daher dachte ich, es wäre schön, eine Karte zu erstellen.
Es sieht so aus, als hätten wir einen Isogloss für "Ja" Nutzung, die sich ungefähr entlang der Grenze von Ulster erstreckt. Einige Kommentatoren erwähnten, dass Nordost-Mayo, Sligo und Nord-Longford ebenfalls Ja-Länder seien. Aus irgendeinem Grund sagt Wicklow dem Thread zufolge auch „Ja“.

Sligo should be yellow. We were not big users of the auld ‚aye‘
I’d wager Waterford being in the red, haven’t heard Aye in these parts at all.
More of a “well boy/girl” sort of place.
One of the things that surprised me moving down south.
North Tipp and Offaly are fierce for “ya”, parts of Laois too
No data for Leitrim because the place doesnt exist
What Dubliner is using aye?
Aye seems accurate enough
Kildare should be aye. My grandparents always said it.
I don’t think big ever heard an aye in cork before
So some counties dont say “aye, sure ya know yourself”??
Leitrim is mixed but more ayes than nays
Aye is absolutely not something said in the West and Midlands.
I’m not saying that literally nobody has ever uttered it, but it’s not a thing at all.
Yeah Wicklow doesnt don’t know where that’s come from
Data source??
Nay data surely
Aye Chart
I say aye (in Wicklow) but I do think I just started doing it ironically as a teenager and it stuck
Ive never realized how much I said aye before also north Leitrim definitely uses it
Wicklow all my life can’t say I’ve ever heard it said
Leitrim here, we absolutely say aye.
Older people in Drogheda use *aye*. It doesn’t confuse (unless they are blow-ins). 😆
I never say Aye, but sure look
I’m from Meath and I use aye often, originally jokingly, but I’ve gotten used to it now, but most people here wouldn’t say it really and either respond with yes or yeah, or back with the verb
Leitrim was polled but they couldn’t find anyone to ask
The hill folk of north Kilkenny / south laois use Aye!
Ah yeah. In carlow we use it ironically to let people know we’re more selfish than they expect. Clean your gutters? I would aye!
Never heard someone from Cork saying aye
Really? Never heard anyone ever say it.
Im from tipp and say aye the odd time but I’m also a pure rebel so.
Honestly bar the North, anyone using aye would get the piss taken out of them in a Scottish accent.
I’ve never heard it from a native Corkonian in my life.
I’d make Kilkenny yellow tending red. ‚Aye‘ seems to be going the way of ‚fornint‘ and ‚ereyesterday‘
Not used in Galway at all unless it’s Donegal students and blow ins which we have a fair amount of.
Strange map tbh I don’t really believe it
Galwegian here, I don’t think I have ever heard one of our own say „Aye“ in this context. In fact, we rarely say „Yes“ either – in the same way Gaeilge doesn’t have a word for „Yes“, it’s more likely that we confirm the affirmative in terms of actions, like „it is“.
I’m sure this is the case across the country!
I don’t know anyone in dublin who says ‘aye’
Wicklow does not use aye. Not at all!
Waterford here. I’ve never heard the word „aye“ spoken in my 35 years (outside of on the telly or radio).
Not used In Mayo at all
From Waterford but I lived in Scotland for a wee bit so picked up aye and wee. Lovely wee words. Have a friend from up in Belfast and he has a lovely „och aye“
The only people say it in Dublin are not from Dublin
I am from Leitrim and occasionally say aye. My dad and other relatives use it regularly.
