However, since the demise of those Irish dialects spoken natively in what is today Northern Ireland, it is probably an exaggeration to see present-day Ulster Irish as an intermediary form between Scottish Gaelic and the southern and western dialects of Irish.
Porén, debido ao declinio dos dialectos irlandeses falados na actual Irlanda do Norte, resulta probabelmente unha esaxeración ver o irlandés do Ulster como forma intermedia entre o gaélico escocés e os dialectos do sur e oeste de Irlanda.
