That's true.

What's even funnier on a really small island like the Emerald Isle, we have three distinct dialects of Irish here. They are Munster, Connemara and Donegal or Ulster Irish.

Having been taught through Munster Irish as a child, I find the Donegal Irish most difficult to understand, their inflections are markedly different from the other two. Grammatically and as written though, they are much the same.
