Yola was a descendant of Middle English closely related to the dialects of South West England (Devon and Somerset) and South Pembrokeshire.
The urban settlements of Wexford and Dublin were both founded by the Vikings. It is possible that the English which flourished there was influenced by the Norse speech of the Vikings, although no evidence exists to support this theory.
There is also little evidence to support the theory of a link to Dutch or Flemish.
The now-extinct language of north County Dublin, Fingalian, originated around the same time and is believed to have been very similar.
