A Guide to Cork Accents from Ireland

[@hoopoverthehill]

For what I understand the cork accent was very influential to many West Indian Caribbean accents.

[@kRod200]

Sounds very close to Jamaican patios

[@lrc2126]

And the sing songy Bajan accent

[@hibernii]

Yes, colonialism 😍

[@beanem.3989]

I actually met a man from a village between Cork and Kinsale a couple of days ago on my holiday. He told all these stories and I often thought, it sounds very Jamaican at times… So it really does, does it? I‘m German and I thought maybe that’s just me being ignorant…

[@khadijahdobson1228]

@@beanem.3989I am Jamaican and realized this a few years ago that the Cork accent is so close to how Jamaicans speak. The Irish were sent to Jamaica. They are of people in Jamaica with Irish last names. They are Germans in Jamaican also a place called German Town.

I love regional accents. It’s a beautiful, unique quality that humans create for themselves.

Love the way he won't let anyone get a word in. My father (same name) was from west cork

[@butler-macdonald8351]

I was born and raised in Newfoundland and when I travelled around England and Scotland, in my backpacker days, everyone was convinced I was from County Cork based on my accent. They thought I was pulling their leg when I'd say I'm Canadian and I am not faking my accent. Funny, I don't hear it that way haha 😁

[@AG-if4uf]

Fantastic local knowledge!

[@blackcitroenlove]

My mother has the thickest Cork accent ever. They're the only ones who pronounce th as in thing properly. It's also tonal, which fascinates me. She has a low voice though, not like the stereotype of high voices.

[@JoRock-kj7qh]

God bless her!

[@LongyOz]

My Great grandmother that i found recently in census records is from Dunderrow, Cork, immigrated to Australia 1906. What a journey. Love the accent.

[@drewsimpson5967]

Tarmac rallying videos are invaluable for learning regional Irish accents. And by God, those lads can drive.

[@JohnSmith-st6dw]

My mother was from Cork city, I miss her brogue, mon like it.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

Imagine people on an American television show from the same. Sitting that close together to each other never happened never will happen

Ask an Irishman the time and get his life history! God love them! I,m a dour Scot reticent!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿😶

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

funny that you say that because I’m here right now in cCork and I’m from New York City but I live in California and we New Yorkers love to talk like the Irish and in California people don’t like to talk at all they’re not verbose I leave Hollywood out of it that’s people talking about themselves in any event they did come the day after we care where I was really in a hurry and I made the mistake of asking someone directions and I just had to I was going to miss the ferry and I just had to grab my map and say thank you very much I have to go and leave it was pretty funny

[@neurospicypisces]

If love a warm Scots or Irishman and youre far west over the pond then check out Newfoundland ❤️ our real spirit comes from the heart of the celtic being and the accent (when 'tick by/bah) is liken to Cork lol

[@Sisterlisk]

Great show.. up Cork!!

[@dtcy1229]

My family is from cork.. im Australian

[@joedredd1168]

Wow this is really intresting, I did my ancestry DNA a few years back and I knew there was always French (Hugonot) excuse the mispelling if it is spelt incorrectly blood in me and the DNA confirmed it and I always knew there was Irish blood in me too as my Irish ancestors are from Cork and Skibereen. Now what really intrests me is the fact I am 29 percent each of the irish and french, I didnt know the Irish and Hugonot was connected what he was saying they came over to Ireland now this makes alot of sense why I still have high percentage of both, even though my greatgrandfather was born in London he was concieved in Ireland so intresting, great video thank you for the info.

[@CaptainSwoop]

I've pulled a few Cork's in me time ... but never been there.

[@del2591]

Tommy Tiernan compares the Cork accent to 'Tinkers trying to speak French' in one of his shows, this is just as humourous.....😂😂😂

[@brianboru7684]

Tommy Tiernan isn't funny

[@sirjellybeans6653]

tommy tiernan is as funny as getting the runs while on the bus. Totally unfunny annoying

[@sirjellybeans6653]

@J T tommy tiernan is not funny. Never has been and never will be. If I want to watch a gormless idiot then I have a lot of choices besides him

[@JCoronaBrownie]

As Tommy Tiernan has previously stated “ sounds like Tinkers ( Old Eire) trying to speak French”! 😂 ❤ My personal experience is the Original Cork accent is soft spoken & lovely ❤❤❤❤

[@thesubhumancomedy]

For what I understand... Cork accent was very influential to horse dealers and auctioneers.

[@nicholaslouis519]

So this is what Shannon and Joey sound like?

[@Oasis98]

I can see how much Irish influenced the Jamaican culture out of many one people

The last one is like "minnesota nice" or the passive aggressive in rural Sweden. Jantelag.

[@mambogal1]

He forgot to mention the Catalans or maybe he doesn't know that they were in Cork as well.

[@blackmore4]

What was it about Cork that made everyone invade it?

[@aileen694]

@@blackmore4 Hey, hi! I'd like to know that too, why was Cork so often invaded? (Maybe it was just such a magical place that everyone else wanted it for themselves...?) My ancestors were Corkers.

[@three-eyedmonkey7344]

Because it’s Cork, boy. Best place to invade in the world.

Nobody ever does a rural cork accent. It's a vastly different thing to the city accent

[@Ser_Arthur_Dayne]

I'm an American - I guess ya'll would call me a "Plastic Paddy" - my Dad's Grandparents came in a boat from Ireland, landed in NYC, made a new life. I'm a fiercely proud American of Irish heritage that has my family coming from Cork. ---- I say all this because, *every. Single. Person* in this video looks *exactly* what we think "Irish People" look like. There goes an Irish Gentlemen .... there goes an Old Irish Lady.... there goes an Irish Hipster In A Suit... There goes another Old Irish Guy... There goes a Regular Irish Guy... it's like watching a Documentary lol...

[@Karl_with_a_K]

No one has the right to call people plastic paddy's. I can't stand when I see people do it. You are Irish American and no one can take that away from you, it is your heritage and your identity, you are entitled to it. I did an irish language course last year and there were a number of Irish Americans on it, and it great to see them connect with their language and heritage. Is as Éireann tú.

[@Ser_Arthur_Dayne]

@@Karl_with_a_K Thank you very, *very* much Karl! This is a perfect testament to how God works in Mysterious Ways - Just the other day, like a few days ago, I got a comment reply from something I posted years ago about something going on in Northern Ireland and an Irish person berated me, "You have no right to an opinion you Plastic Paddy!!!" etc. So ya'll can talk about the USA as much as you want but I don't get an opinion about the rest of the world? Anyway thank you very very much again!
