Il thread ha ricevuto molte risposte, quindi ho pensato che sarebbe stato carino creare una mappa.
Sembra che abbiamo un isogloss per "sì" uso che si estende all’incirca lungo il confine dell’Ulster. Alcuni commentatori hanno affermato che anche il nord-est di Mayo, Sligo e il nord di Longford sono un paese aye. Per qualche ragione anche Wicklow dice di sì secondo il thread.

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?
I would say in Kilkenny and Carlow it’s also not common at all. I know a couple of people who use it but I’m certain they picked it up elsewhere (in my case for sure)
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!
