I'm Italian. Once I had a chat with a taxi driver in Belfast. At first it was quite traumatizing, but after a few minutes I started to understand something like a word every two. He kind of kidnapped us to show us interesting places around the city and turned a 1 minute drive into 8, but we enjoyed the ride and paid the full price even if it wasn't our request. It was clear he cared about those places and well, it was a taxi full of anthropologists. And another time a local in Bushmills stopped to chat with us and I admit I understood half the stuff he said, but I got that he had never seen the Giants' Causeway and he didn't care about it at all.

[@fancyfree5307]

I do think some Norther Irish people sound quite American. I think it is because of the pronunciation of some vowels, as well as the strong R sounds. The pronunciation of father 2:00 sound american to me.

The Golden Fleece American accent is basically the Irish accent. The first English speaking settlers were Irish

I'm Northern Irish and the paw, poor, pour thing really floored me. Never occurred to me we say each word different, when they are meant to sound the same lol. Strange.

[@RobinBonhomme]

Here in the northeast of the US we at least pronounce paw and pour/poor differently. Some people pronounce poor and pour differently from each other here as well. I know Canada for a fact pronounces them all differently. I think most English speaking places around the world do.

[@smorrow]

I've noticed alot of Americans will say 'Gurbels' for Goebbels, not knowing that the 'r' comes from phonetic instructions for the British.

I love the way Anna delights in the diverse sounds of people's accents. She honors them all with her smiles of happiness.

[@Darxide23]

I've always found it interesting that a lot of Northern Irish pronunciations are closer to American English than British English, especially the way 'r' is pronounced.

[@didid3ksa]

Especially there’s a lot of Irish flead from their home cuz their catholic

[@funkyfranx]

It’s not that interesting. It’s called a rhotic accent. They are not exclusive to America. Irish and Scottish accents are both rhotic. English accents used to be rhotic as well (and some still are, see West Country).

They arent. The southern english way of speaking has warped over the years and gotten lazy, especially with the embracing of recieved pronounciation / royal english. And in all likelihood its recent. from early 1800s, if even that. The difference between paw and the others especially

[@jeffmorse645]

You know Anna, it might be more difficult to put together, but a comparison between Joel and a person from the "Mid South" of the United States might be interesting. There were a lot of people from Northern Ireland who settled there and the accent of places like Tennessee an Appalachia still have many of the elements. Yeah, I know, the series is on British accents, but I've always been interested how accents in the English speaking colonial areas evolved (US, Canada, South Africa, NZ, Australia).

Its so delightful to know that there are entire communities of people that actively seek out things like this channel in order to appreciate people's differences. The trend today is to overlook these unique things and to simply accept "we're all the same, all equal." That may be the case but acknowledging that and basking in the incredible little things that seperate us from each other should be met with that much enthusiasm.

Ian Logan - that’s fantastic! And not surprising, truly. I just rewatched the video, and there are quite a few sounds that I would identify as Southern US dialect (like the “ing” pronunciation as “-in” and not “-ng”, and the “r” being very pronounced at the end of words.)

Ernesto Serravalle well the Northern Irish and Scottish accents can be remarkably similar, seeing as the vast majority of the population in the North are Scots Ulster descended people. The only major place where you can find a true Irish accent is in the West, such as Counties Galway and Clare. The Leinster accent in places like County Dublin are English influenced and the Ulster accents in the North are Scottish influenced.

Love the series, love the accent! Have got some friends in Ireland and I appreciate their accent so much. It's a warm and friendly way of speaking.

Any time I am in England, I barely get 2 words out and they immediately cotton on to my accent and often ask me to repeat words, now having watched this video I understand why, and it's true that the English love the northern Ireland accent!

this is awesome!!! I also love the "now" "cow" pronounciation

Fantastic video. Northern Irish has always been my favorite accent.

Scundered is actually used quite commonly in Northern Ireland. Most people use it as a way of saying 'fed-up', not embarrassed. Joel uses it to describe being embarrassed because he is from south/east Antrim.

In fermanagh we don't use the word

In Scotland it's 'scunnered'.

[@Fluffyolphert]

In Derry we say scunnered

[@nigelmurphy6761]

It's actually an Ulster dialect a combination of both Ulster Scots and Ulster Irish. It's a beautiful accent to listen to alright.

I really agree with you Anna. That accent is really amazing. In Sweden we would spell "How are you?" In Northern Irish accent "Haaj aarr yöööyy?" hahhaha.

Nice, so next time that a mother tongue doesn't understand my accent I will just say that I have a mixed English accent (standard British, Irish, Northern British and American) :D I love this kind of videos, I'm learning sooo much about the differences of the different English accents!
