Love the fact Graham and Michael immediately get thicker accents when they're around these two

[@Skinnycomateen]

My mum's Irish and when my sister-in-law first visited the family over there she could no longer understand a word my ma said (almost as soon as we landed)

[@grainneocruhuir6383]

I can tell who from Ireland my mams been on the phone with based on what her accent sounds like. She Dublin born and raised but for some reason she picks up the cork accent quickest😂

[@burnbobquist8999]

I love that in every culture these things happen, my family is from the north of germany near the netherlands border where they often speak "Plattdeutsch" which is a very strange language. My grandparents always spoke normal german with us, but as soon as one of there siblings visited us you couldn't understand a word. xD

Saoirse is from Dublin so she has a fairly standard accent however those guys are from a town called Skiberreen and the very bottom of Cork. They also mentioned Michael's thick Kerry accent which is next to Cork.

And he was german, of course... :p And his brother had it too, so it was a family thing... It was incredible, I could not get over it anytime it happended, and it just made me speak with them more, which I usually did... :) But the funny thing is that I didn't remember all of this at all, until I saw michael fassbender's smile in this video... :p so, i'm sorry about this long and maybe boring story about these heartwarming and exilerating smiles, but hey, I felt like i could and wanted to share it... :pAlthough I never write any comments in here... :p bye ! :p

Reminds me of a researcher at the local university... his main research field had been the regional accents of Swedish spoken in Finland... he was originally from a small fishing village near Vaasa, and when there was an anniversary of his working in the field, his colleagues made a tongue-in-cheek collection of essays about stuff in his field... so one of them set out to see whether the language spoken in his home village was Swedish or not, he went there and recorded a couple old fishermen talking to each other... then he went through various ways to identify if something said belonged to a language, such as if a person knowing the language could understand it... then he played the recording to five native Swedish speakers, both from Sweden and Finland... and also to some nonnative speakers who however had an excellent grasp of the language, some having studied different forms of it for decades... and nobody understood a word. So the conclusion of the article was, whatever the language spoken in that village, was, it wasn't Swedish :)

Ireland is a Catholic country. There is no such thing as an affair in Ireland. Just brothers that don't look much alike. The Lord moves in mysterious ways.

There's a psychological term for that. I can't recall what it is right now, though. It's where you subconsciously emulate the terms of the person you are talking to. It could be tone of voice, accent, pitch, mannerisms, etc. It's a bonding concept.

I'm originally from the Caribbean island of St. Lucia, and I understood almost everything they said for one reason: their Skibbereen accent is almost similar to Jamaicans' accents, and there's a reason for that: during the transatlantic slave trade, most of the slaveowners in Jamaica were Irish, I read long ago. Even today in Jamaica there are places with Irish names, and one of two of my friends from Ireland (both Caucasian) actually tracked their ancestors to Jamaica, and those ancestors were African slaves who were used by the Irish. In St. Lucia, our ancestry is divided among African, British, and French, so while English is our official language, we also speak Creole French. My personal family ancestry also contains - in addition to the aforementioned African, British and French - Irish, Scottish, Chinese, East Indian, Spanish and some German. But anyway, that's why I think the Irish accent is kind of similar to Jamaican accents. I found some articles online which confirmed this but I was unable to share the link on here.

I hadn't put together how similar they were before.

[@NilsAlbertsson]

The British have literally hundreds and hundreds of heavy regional accents, so they're really good at understanding thick English language accents from all over the globe, and Irish is one such accent we can understand really clearly... To the Americans asking "why the audience is laughing, is it because they can't understand them," the answer is no; they're laughing because they *CAN* understand them, and what they're saying is funny. For some reason, Americans are absolutely dreadful at being able to understand anything said in English that has any decent amount of accent to it.

[@misstinwhistle1]

I don't think Americans watch much UK tv so they don't hear the various British accents and since Irish tv shows are much less common, it's even harder for them to understand. People need to hear it more often then they get used to it.

[@derricktucker1533]

Most Americans have no problem understanding (the majority of) Irish people, save perhaps a word here or there. These two blokes however have extremely thick accents and I missed a decent amount of that exchange lol. James, on the other hand, completely no issue understanding.

[@snmcfadden]

Derrick Tucker they're accents are actually on the lighter side for people from cork. There are much thicker accents to be found in Ireland.
