How the Irish speak of knave crowned by Britain? (6)
I believe the answer is:
brogue
'how the irish speak' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'knave crowned by britain?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'knave' could be 'rogue' (synonyms) and 'rogue' is present in the answer.
'britain?' could be 'b' (common abbreviation as in GB) and 'b' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for brogue that I've seen before include "Stout leather shoe" , "Irish accent or strong shoe" , "Strong outdoor shoe" , "Lilting Irish accent" , "Oxford" .)
