A brogue is a strong accent, notably in Irish dialects of English. For example, in the folksong "Finnegan's Wake", the character of the song, Tim Finnegan, was said to have a "beautiful brogue so rich and sweet".
It is from the Irish word "barróg"[1], meaning "accent" or "speech impediment".
The term is also used in reference to Scottish, and other Gaelic-influenced dialects[citation needed]. The term is sometimes applied to dialects of the Britannic tongues such as Welsh as well[citation needed].
The term can also refer to a particular type of stout men's shoes made in Ireland or Scotland.
