Montserrat
Part of the local folk history in Montserrat is that Irish or Irish English has influenced the variety of English that emerged there. However, in Volume 3 Wells (1982: 586, 1983) reports there is no linguistic justification for this claim, even though Irish Catholics from nearby St. Kitts did settle the island in the early 17th century and several place names and surnames reflect Irish influence.
Montserrat English reveals short vowels in open syllables in segments that were long historically, e.g. tea [ti], play [ple], straw [stra]. However, in closed syllables there appears to be a contrast between long and short vowels, e.g. beat [bi:t] vs. bit [bit], pool [pu:l] vs. pull [pul]. In Volume 3, Wells (1982: 586) insists that this is not a difference in vowel quality but in length as presented above (however, two allophones of /o/ do reveal differences in quality, e.g. show [ʃo] and cut 
). This issue of short vowels in open syllables in Montserrat English means that the short vowels of words like tea are linked phonemically with the /i/ of bit rather than the [i:] of beat. Likewise, the [u] of two is linked with /u/ of put rather than the /u:/ of boot. Furthermore, in closed syllables, Montserratians often reveal diphthongs for mid vowels reminiscent of those heard in Western Caribbean varieties like Jamaican, e.g. boat [buot] and bait [biet], but these diphthongs are not found in open syllables, e.g. bay [be], show [ʃo].
Montserrat English is non-rhotic. Consequently, long vowels are found in open syllables (as well as closed ones) where historical /r/ was once present, e.g. star [sta:], war [wa:], start [sta:t], farm [fa:m]. Other words with long vowels that revealed /r/ historically resulted in the emergence of new diphthongs, e.g. near [nia] and four [fuo].
