[@Sean_B123]

@@StrangerHappened it's mostly just that certain endings of words are silent or pronounced depending on where you're from. Take, for example, the word 'chuaigh'. In some parts of ireland, the gh at the end is silent, but in other parts its not silent. It's mostly just stuff like that, as well as vowels being pronounced differently (such as Cork people saying 'Cark', but apply that to Irish words).

Interesting vid. I’m Australian and both my paternal grandparents were Irish.

That's really interesting. I chatted at length with an Australian from Perth about accents, and she said the same as you... that she can fly over to Cairns and the accent is the same.

+stephan haggerty Also, never say "top 'o the mornin to ye", ask for "carbombs" in pubs and display any plastic paddyness.

[@RottingYoda]

+Mister Shledge Has an Irish person ever said "top 'o the mornin to ye"?

[@AshBashVids]

Never unless it's ironic. Most places usually have a variation of "well, what's the craic?"

[@AshBashVids]

Yeah, that is a common misconception in the likes of the US/Canada. "Craic" is basically just Irish for "fun", but most people there weirdly assume we legitimately say "top o' the mornin to ye" instead :I There are even weirder variations. Dublin for example tends to say "story bud?" (pronounced "staary"). I just tend to say "well", "any craic?" or "hello" if I'm unfamiliar.

[@stephanhaggerty4576]

+Mister Shledge As far as the "carbomb" thing, I personally find dropping a likely filthy shot glass into my stout to be a disgusting idea and since most Guinness served in the US is almost always this fake disgusting muck actually made in Canada under license and isn't drinkable even if it was served at proper temperature instead of freezing cold as it generally is, it's all best avoided.

[@velouris76]

Hmmm... At the start, it says 'the accent changes north, south, east and west' then proceeds to do Dublin (east) Cork, Kerry and Limerick (South) and Belfast (North) where was the WEST (?????) Galway, Claire, Mayo etc, etc, etc. Also, there's a hell of a lot more to Northern Irish accent than just Belfast. I have family in Fermanagh, and their accent is totally different to Belfast.

[@leea8706]

Possibly because it’s an animated video? Animation is very hard work and perhaps they intended to go through every areas accent but stopped early due to how much work that would take. It probably took a week for someone to make this almost 3 minute long video. Or maybe they just covered the accents the guy could imitate.

I get that he could only do one or two accents per region (North, South, East and West) my point was they totally missed out the West completely!

My mom's family emigrated from Ireland about 130 years ago. My great grandmother came from Balinamuk in county Longford. My mother's family would pass down a story about a time when they would open their home to family emigrating from Ireland. There was one person who always came home from work late.

Same within Belfast itself.

I'm not sure of the difference, but a kid on her estate asked if I was from Scotland with my apparent neutral N Irish accent.

[@ruadhandignam6482]

i love the statement "broad representation" as you could be in a town then go 15 minutes down the road and hear a completely different accent. and god forbid you mistake their accent for a town they might rival against in hurling or something.

[@seanflynncontact]

Actually a greater influence to the accent in Dublin was Norwegian. You see the founders of cities usually influence the accent even many centuries later. The accent in working class areas of Dublin and Waterford had the nasal tones common to their Scandinavian forefathers. The abundance of slang that references blood may also throw back to those times. Bleeding and bloody. The Irish who left for Liverpool brought that slang with them.

im from southern dublin and i can attest that this is spot on. for 90% of everyone else in south dublin that i know at least

[@smorrow]

It's 9/10 but 1) I think he's basing it on a more effeminate individual than most 2) the 'spec' in 'especially' should use the same vowel sound he uses in 'forever' and 3) people from Belfast wouldn't say 'Scottish' that way (but some other areas in NI would, same as the 'especially').

[@natalieharvey2590]

Yah the northern Ireland is right(I know cause most of my mum's side is from Belfast)

[@leah9175]

Sarah Kane? 😂

[@leah9175]

SarahK you aren’t from Belfast 😂😂

[@jamestaylor9767]

we dont all sound like leprechauns on acid lol

[@bentmailbox]

James Taylor agreed

[@coreyshideler9661]

Cork accent sure sounds like it's the closest to the common Newfie accent. If I'm not mistaken, a large majority of early settlers on the Rock were from that area so it's not surprising. Most Anglo Canadian accents are heavily influenced by the different Scottish and Irish accents of the people who formed much of the early population outside of Quebec and Acadia. To this day, the Scots are the largest ethnic group in Canada though they have mixed with many other groups, especially the Irish and English.

[@bigbasil1908]

Yes there are a lot of Scottish and Irish descendants on the eastern part of Canada or at least labrador and newfoundland, and nova scotia

[@SalK-LS]

I heard that many Newfoundlanders have ancestors from around Waterford & Wexford. [EDIT: Apparently that may apply to a certain part of Newfoundland, whereas perhaps a different part of Newfoundland had more people from Cork (I don't know).]

[@hannahalexandra1419]

Oh I love this... 🥰 Such a fan of it all. Just touching into some Irish history, rich and cold and beautiful and somehow like it’s own universe. I’m from the US in California, and we have our own accents on a state by state basis it seems. But it’s really interesting to see a small country with such differentiated pockets of culture within it. I want to know wtf you were saying at the southernmost point of Ireland, though.

[@ElliottOdeh]

I'm just visiting Dublin for a few weeks and this showed up in my feed. This video cracked me up. I really love Ireland and its people, and now I can try to discern the many accents. Cheers, boy!

[@ElliottOdeh]

Aww man. More homework? I'd love to watch a video that showed that.

[@kate3414]

It's not boy! The way that we say it is bye!

[@ElliottOdeh]

Thanks, Kate O Connor . I'm back in Ireland again next month so I'll try it out, hopefully I don't offend anyone.

that a reference to a Irish group of singers called the rubber bandit best known for their song horse outside and black man in my gang

[@Fawkes42]

Don't forget their 1916 documentary, that was really something.

[@tomzermfb1573]

[@elainemcguire]

Mark Mahony they're the rubberbandits. Ye should watch horse outside. It's pure class boy

[@markuyehara7880]

FELLAS is even better.

[@twicesgirlfriend]

I'm French and after a trip to Ireland I took the nothern Dublin accent. Oops

[@g0oberdm417]

I still find it hilarious how there's a good portion of irish that can point out the exact area you're from/what accent and then there's me, who went local shop and got asked where I'm from, insinuating I'm American or out of county..... I live down the road.... lol

One time I was in Ireland, and even people from the southern part couldn't understand when we asked for directions in Northern Ireland. I thought a Newfoundland accent was odd here in Canada, but it was interesting doing around Ireland, and I'd love to do it again, but with someone who has better ears.

[@user-qi5jw2hg1c]

I'm from Belfast, and when i was down in Dublin a few years ago someone asked me where in Scotland i was from

[@JohnTaylor-bf6ll]

Very interesting, especially when planning a trip all round Ireland. I think better still would be for you to travel round Ireland interviewing people. In at least part of the interview, they should be asked to repeat a set few phrases - the same phrases. Then when you get back to your studio, line the recordings up, each in turn, after you introduce each from where they come.

[@norfolkenchants1238]

In the north only the big towns in the east and Belfast sound like that, the accents in the West of Ulster vary from town to town and they are a completely different accents altogether

[@lambhdeargh]

I'm from the falls, I was once asked what part of east Belfast I was from because I had to slow down my speech in Monaghan town!

[@dearbhailemccrory8217]

Wait till ye get to Tyrone and the country were a mix between all of the accents 🤣🤣

[@adammacdomhnail2014]

Holly McKibbin I’m in County Armagh, I’m in the south, the north sounds very different. 😂

[@irishcountrygirl78]

Well.... He did say it was generalisation like lol

[@WeldersFSC]

NI is a different country with a lot of varying British accents found within. From Londonderry to Belfast.

[@criselsamaniego2638]

I'm Mexican, but I am totally in love with the Irish culture and the different accents are great

[@irishspudlad]

Yup, and the stereotypical Irish accent is mid Ireland, Kildare, Offaly, Meath and West Meath

[@feargalflynn7980]

Ahh not really south meath is a north Dublin accent and north meath is a south Cavan accent.

[@VN3wton]

This whole video makes me giggle. I love it.

[@nicolasylb9474]

Ah Ireland... Most beautiful country I've had the chance to visit, with the most amazing people I've had the pleasure to meet. Long live Ireland ! Greetings from France !

[@vinyziks323]

I'm travelling to dublin next month, and as a foreigner english speaker i'm glad the dublin accent is actually the easiest one

[@gumballthechewy]

Ireland has more accents on that tiny island then the rest of the world put together

[@rojan5337]

any one from jack/sean our lovely Irish lad's channel

[@Garomation]

I can confirm that this is fairly accurate, you could have went with the Galway and Donegal accents too, influenced by the gaeltacht regions, especially donegal.

[@killboggins]

Brilliant. I'd love to see a sequel with an Arklow, Donegal and G-G-G-Galway accent. Isn't it funny how culchies start every sentence with "Ah." Ah, sure it's yourself. Ah, it is indeed. Ah did you hear about yer man. Ah sure isn't it terrible? Ah it really is.

[@1948DESMOND]

in dublin, they can tell a joke about someone from the other 31 counties, have a laugh and call it irisih humour. but if someone from the other 31 counties tells a joke about a dub, especkially a lower class jackeen, the dubliner takes offence. Are youse taking the piss out of me? are youse laffing at Dubliners? he can laugh at you but you must not laugh at HIM. it is a bit like the type of humour you get in SOUTH EAST england where they laugh AT people instead of WITH people. see the difference? dublin is so anglicized, anyway.

[@killboggins]

***** I can take a joke about Dublin. The only jokes I don't laugh at are ones that just aren't funny. Tell me a good joke about Dublin and,as a Dubliner, I'll laugh at it.

[@daraj02]

killboggins Joke about Dublin? Donegal 3-14 - 0-17 Dublin

[@killboggins]

***** Well since I don't watch any Irish sport it means nothing to me but I guess it could be funny to someone.

For me as a Norwegian, Irish dialect is the most beautiful language.

It's a whole other language 😂

[@13_cmi]

@@crazyd4ve875 Oh yeah. Especially once you get to tiny town stuff. That's how it is where I live but you can still understand them. They still speak english. But not in ireland. They speak a completely different language that is not gaelic or english.

I died on the Cork accent because it's true, I'm from Cork myself.

[@tero9323]

Now I'm in Ireland. I totally lost my confidence in English listening. Their accent is from another world or I just came from another world. And Irish are so friendly. I was ashamed of myself being not as nice as they are. Now I'm trying to be friendly. It's a hard job for Japanese like me who always like 😑. What a beautiful country Ireland is!

[@doreendyson9350]

[@colin2116]

Incredibly entertaining (and informative) video. Thank you!

[@od1401]

I grew up in a town in wicklow and the accent was very particulary to the town itself, drive 20 mins south to gorey in wexford or 30 mins north bray and it was massively different. I used to use "boy" after almost every sentence when I was a teenager lol

[@adelsaad8190]

As a Libyan living in Ireland for ten years and working as a courier driver which allowed me me to see a lot of the country even more than most Irish people themselves all I can say about this video is hilarious, cork is always the funniest lol

[@glennoc8585]

[@coolenaam]

Where's the midlands and Galway accents?

[@CMR_1317]

Im from the Midlands, and we just sound flat as hell and Longford''s accent is like the WORST EVER. AND Kildare is just flat version of The Dublin accent, like Louth, only not as bad?!!!

[@coolenaam]

Merlin Morgan hmmm I really like Midlands accents. Kildare, Athlone, Longford all sound good to me. I'm not that fond of a Kerry accent though.

[@CMR_1317]

+coolenaam My Da's Kildare and his isnt as bad as most!!! my accent is murderous, its just flat it has no substance but I tell you Kinnegad has an accent of its own and its in the midlands. its like dublin kildare and westmeath put together!!!!

Sounds good :) I need to visit Ireland again soon.

[@jennifershelley6938]

My boyfriend is from Cork and you hit the nail on the head with that accent! Fair play to ye!

[@markog1999]

Ot shoud be noted all these accents were only imitations done by a dubliner, in real life a hard core kerryman speaks faster than any human being could understand, and we in cork can only be heard by dogs most of the time.

[@crow7748]

Rofl.

[@1948DESMOND]

markog1999 - years ago on the ancient radio eireann, most, if not all, the announcers were from cork and they had that inter-county type of accent. or even a stateless accent, if you like. they spoke very, very well. i wish we still had them instead of some thick fucking brogues you get on some radio stations. when they talk, they do not pause at the comma or full stop. and people in the west of ireland tend to turn three syllables into two syllables. they also turn two syllables into three syllables. they are not the type of people who would be reading this, assuming they can read at all. we have over 200 million ILLLITERATES on this planet.
