No, 'eh' is English English ... I forget the dialect in which it is most prevalent ... might be Cockney, or geographically close to Cockney .... Yorkshire has the 'eh' as well to an extent, also Geordie ... somewhere I read a really good piece on that .... there used to be an old guy down the road here who could listen to a Brit talk for thirty seconds and then tell them where they were from to within a few miles radius. He was a Yorkshireman, taught me the 'hear naught, see naught, say naught' thing. Boggling accent when he turned it full on. Great guy, he died a few years ago.
