@@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).

As an American actor who has been trying to perfect an Irish accent for several years, I greatly appreciate this video. Both informative, and quite funny.
this video is greatly wrong , telling you as an Irish man , especially the northern irish one. and the west one and the southern one , the only one he got somewhat right was the dublin one.
Interesting vid. I’m Australian and both my paternal grandparents were Irish. It was so interesting visiting Nan’s relatives in Wexford and then hearing very different accents a short drive over to grandad’s rellies in Tipperary. Such a contrast to living in a place where I can fly 3000km across the country and people sound just the same
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. As an English person from a minuscule country compared to Oz, I find this unfathomable. I mean, I'm from London and I can tell a West Londoner from a South Londoner. Subtly different, but still different.

Hardly any Scots migrated to Newfoundland. They all settled further south down in the Maritimes. Newfoundland is mainly all Irish and English (southwest England) with pockets of French and Scots.
the cork city lower class accent is impossible to understand. the cork COUNTY lower class is easier to understand. but i do wish we irish, north and south, would slow downa bit when we open our gobs to say something. pity they don't teach elocution. obviously, the lower classes would have not interest in it but the other social classes would. if onlythey could speak b.b.c. english with an irish lilt instead of an irish working class brogue.
The Cork accent is spot on and hillarious! Also I thought I was the only one who couldn't understand Kerry people because I was a foreigner, makes me feel better knowing that even the Irish have issues with it!

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!

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 !
I'm from Limerick and I know a lot of people who speak with the Limerick accent. Also I have cousins in North and West Cork and they speak like that too 😂😂
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.
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.
@@sc1837 Where did I say that they needed to do every boreen?? 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! It's not just a boreen, it's a whole chuck of Ireland, almost the entire Province of Connaught!!! Also, it's not just entertainment, it's supposed to be educational in an entertaining way.
Ginja Ninja fuck sake, ik. I was in Waterford waiting in a chipper and some guy started talking to me. I actually couldn’t understand what he was saying and im Irish
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
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').
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.
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.
Yeah but he didn't go into northside, southside, down the country like and so on, be grateful he did the usual exaggerated city accent favoured by actors. Phew! My home by the Lee🤗
I'm from California, but I went to the South this past summer to spend time with my family. Sometimes people said things that made me scratch my head. Like how to pronounce "Senoia" - and I met locals who didn't agree on how to pronounce it. So don't feel bad, we have the same problems here in the US. And we stereotype each other's accents just as much we do the Irish.
My dad went to Ireland and came back with this story. He was on a vacation and stopped there after going to thiland, and an Irish friend of his said," Did you have good crack?" He said," No! I don't do drugs." And the Irish guy said," No. Crack is another word for fun in Ireland." xD
+Ballymenablues are there a lot of slang terms that come from Gaelic? Kind of like how the Brits says "smashing" which came from "s' math sing(sp?)" which I think translates to "that's great".
After moving to Ireland from America...I heard an advert on the radio while driving where they were giving away a Million Euro bag of Craic....oh how I wanted to crank call that radio station pretending to be a crack head...
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
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.
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).]
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. Whenever my GG saw him coming up the street she would announce to the rest of the family" Ah hear's me head and me ass is coming". She was a tough old bird with a wicked sense of humor.
I’m going to Ireland this winter and we’re staying in Kerry for a few days and now I’m so nervous I won’t be able to understand anyone 😬 this is my first international trip with a couple of friends God bless
@Makeup Love Don’t worry , You will be able to understand the accent . Kerry and Irish people are generally very friendly and will go out of their way to help you ..
Same within Belfast itself. I give my ex a bit of stick for her Belfast accent, but any attempt at mimicry is meet with a retort that I'm using a Falls Rd accent while she's from Newtownabbey just off the north of the city. 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.
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.
+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.
I'm from Belfast and even I struggle to pick out the different accents from the republic. Love this video, makes it so clear the difference 😂 hilarious too
To be honest the accent isn't really tied to the border. I'd say if you heard about North Monaghan man or Donegal person you'd think they were from the north and if you heard a South Armagh person you'd think they were from the republic.
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.
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!
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
It is strange how, from what I understand, basically each city kinda has it's own accent Ireland's not a huge landmass but the people there speak many drastically different accents, something I always thought was both odd and interesting
Haha I'm English and I was thrown in at the deep end - my first experience of Ireland was going on holiday with my best friend to visit her family in Kerry
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.
@@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 used to live in Sligo but i moved to Sudan and i had a classmate who was another sudanese diaspora who happened to be from Cork. This guy used to pronounce car as “cerr” and cork as “cark” 😭😭 love to my corkers still ❤️❤️
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.
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 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!!!!
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.
I'm from cork I've been to the north and their accent was so different to me and my family when my American cousins came over to Ireland we kept having to repeat out sentences bc we speak so fast I don't know if he mentioned but we say like a lot while talking lol 😂
bbonner422 you mean there’s Americans that are ACTUALLY Irish? A US tourist found out I’d lived in skibereen and was on me like fly on shite all night gassing about his great great granny. Mind you I got a fair few pints out of it!
This is really interesting! The Irish language is cool and I like the Irish accents. Even after watching this, I may not always be able to tell the accents apart, but still very interesting to know!
The irish language is not in this video these are irish english language accents this is irish ta me ag dul go dti an baille chun siopadoireacht a dheanamh
That South Dublin accent as demonstrated in the video is actually pretty close to an American Brahmin (upper class) accent, now largely vanished. See: Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island.
+irishlad76 I think when most Americans think of an Irish accent, they think of that Southern, County Cork one as noted in the video. Probably because thats the one that would be displayed all the time in American movies and TV shows when they wanted to show an explicitly Irish character -- see Chief OHara from the Batman TV Series. Saints preserve us, Commissioner Gordon!!!
+The Movie Dealers do you mean MR MAGOO !!? I actually didn't catch GILLIGAN's island til later and fondly remember GINGER lots of gingers in IRELAND alright off topic yes people in MASSACHUSETTS have a similar sound to them form what you describe CHEERS boi!!
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
So technically the real Irish accent is from around Cork and Mayo because the North is influenced by the Scottish accent and is part of the UK and Dublin is influenced by Britain.
Joseph O'Connor You do realise "to hell or to connacht" was used as a way of saying Connacht is like hell. My dad is from Mayo and he said thats what they said about the land in the west its so bad its like hell which is why the english took the north because it had the best land.
ThisIsAChannel It was when Cromwell was over taking hold of the Irish land for the english, they were basically told fuck off to Connacht because we own this and yes land quality is much poorer in the west in comparison the the rest of Ireland.
'To hell or to Connacht' was that you could either go to 'hell' meaning that you'd be killed or to the boggy land in Connacht that the British didn't want for plantation.
Jade Lam your all wrong. At that time the British had prisons in Tasmania Island, Australia. So Hell was basically prison in the other side of the world. You would never see your family again. Ever.
Just remember. The Irish accent changes every 20 km you drive.
Or how many pints you've had LoL
Five miles ahah Belfast and everywhere near it sounds completely different
Not only that but about every twenty years so that a person that is 40 sounds very different from a person who is 20 years old.

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.
Also coleraine/ballymoney/ARMAGH/Derry or Londonderry/ antrim/garvagh etc etc. The list goes on and on...😂
@@sc1837 Where did I say that they needed to do every boreen?? 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! It's not just a boreen, it's a whole chuck of Ireland, almost the entire Province of Connaught!!!
Also, it's not just entertainment, it's supposed to be educational in an entertaining way.
Cork was brilliant, I can't stop laughing
This is it over simplified.
Dublin: Fucked up
Cork: Bearly intelligible
Waterford: Is this jibberish?
Ulster: Is this Scotland?
Ginja Ninja fuck sake, ik. I was in Waterford waiting in a chipper and some guy started talking to me. I actually couldn’t understand what he was saying and im Irish
Can confirm, Cork is barely intelligible.
Fair play with the Ulster thing we do sound a wee bit Scottish
I'm from donegal and I don't think i sound scottish
@@papaputinandthenukefactory49 do we?
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
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!
Wait till ye get to Tyrone and the country were a mix between all of the accents 🤣🤣
Holly McKibbin I’m in County Armagh, I’m in the south, the north sounds very different. 😂
Well.... He did say it was generalisation like lol
NI is a different country with a lot of varying British accents found within. From Londonderry to Belfast.
I wanted to see the rest. Just like some others apparently. Was really enjoying it on Jack's channel. :)
what about west ireland and the midlands? how can ya forget about connemara like?
Conor Byrne And kildare
And Mayo
Lisa Murphy Mayo seems like the DLC nobody bought, hahaha
but yeah how can you forget the wesht
what about tipp where theres buher and waher instead of butter and water
Richard Donaldson lol don't forget sausage
Spot on with that Northern Ireland accent.
(from Belfast so I am)
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
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').
Yah the northern Ireland is right(I know cause most of my mum's side is from Belfast)
Sarah Kane? 😂
SarahK you aren’t from Belfast 😂😂
I'm travelling to dublin next month, and as a foreigner english speaker i'm glad the dublin accent is actually the easiest one
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.
Jack must be from southern ireland.
***** I thought Jack didn't have a wikipedia!?
+Nat Cat I had one but the cat threw up on it.
He's from Athlone
I looked at Jack's Wikipedia and apparently he's from Athlone, WestMeath
+Nat Cat Hes from Offaly
The People’s Republic of Cork really caught me off guard after South Dublin.
Good. The key to being a good Corkonian is being as different to the Dublin wastrels as possible :D
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.
as a person born and living in cork, i feel personally attacked.
Yeah but he didn't go into northside, southside, down the country like and so on, be grateful he did the usual exaggerated city accent favoured by actors. Phew! My home by the Lee🤗
I am from cork but I moved to the uk :(and no one can understand me
+HayforHorses and I lived in Kerry lol
I'm from California, but I went to the South this past summer to spend time with my family. Sometimes people said things that made me scratch my head. Like how to pronounce "Senoia" - and I met locals who didn't agree on how to pronounce it. So don't feel bad, we have the same problems here in the US. And we stereotype each other's accents just as much we do the Irish.
***** yes I did I was just adding to what I said I am not that dumb
I was born in cork and moved to Kerry
+HayforHorses I must have an ear for accents, because I understood every word you just said.
My dad went to Ireland and came back with this story. He was on a vacation and stopped there after going to thiland, and an Irish friend of his said," Did you have good crack?" He said," No! I don't do drugs." And the Irish guy said," No. Crack is another word for fun in Ireland." xD
it's written craic in Ireland
+Ballymenablues are there a lot of slang terms that come from Gaelic? Kind of like how the Brits says "smashing" which came from "s' math sing(sp?)" which I think translates to "that's great".
yeah, if your not from Ireland it does sound bad. and we spell it craic to differentiate it
+Caoimhe C. We don't spell it craic to differentiate it, and it's not slang, craic is just the gaelic translation of fun.
After moving to Ireland from America...I heard an advert on the radio while driving where they were giving away a Million Euro bag of Craic....oh how I wanted to crank call that radio station pretending to be a crack head...
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
Adel Saad what does a LIbyan see In Ireland? Surely you would feel.very out of place being such a different culture and weather.
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.
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
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).]
i did not understand 80% of the video
Really?

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. Whenever my GG saw him coming up the street she would announce to the rest of the family" Ah hear's me head and me ass is coming". She was a tough old bird with a wicked sense of humor.
The Irish never say "ass" it's arse Kiss My Arse.
YES US CORK LADS LIKE TO TALK 10 OCTIVES ABOVE THEM All BOY /LADS 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪😎😎😎😎😎
Do you lads even know what a low pitch is?
@Thicc Boi you're a bit rude
Indeed indeed
I’m going to Ireland this winter and we’re staying in Kerry for a few days and now I’m so nervous I won’t be able to understand anyone 😬 this is my first international trip with a couple of friends God bless
@Makeup Love
Don’t worry ,
You will be able to understand the accent .
Kerry and Irish people are generally very friendly and will go out of their way to help you ..
we dont all sound like leprechauns on acid lol
James Taylor agreed
Northern Ireland has loads of different accents
+claire hillis Everywhere in Ireland. The accent changes every few metres.
I no my cousins are from Northern Ireland
+claire hillis So true, on my road alone there are three different accents XD
+claire hillis i swear there must be over a hundred northern Irish accents
Same within Belfast itself.
I give my ex a bit of stick for her Belfast accent, but any attempt at mimicry is meet with a retort that I'm using a Falls Rd accent while she's from Newtownabbey just off the north of the city.
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.
A tip for Irish visitors in the USA: Don't use the phrase, "Wha' you do for some craic 'round 'ere?"
+stephan haggerty Also, never say "top 'o the mornin to ye", ask for "carbombs" in pubs and display any plastic paddyness.
+Mister Shledge Has an Irish person ever said "top 'o the mornin to ye"?
Never unless it's ironic. Most places usually have a variation of "well, what's the craic?"
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.
+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.
I'm from Belfast and even I struggle to pick out the different accents from the republic. Love this video, makes it so clear the difference 😂 hilarious too
To be honest the accent isn't really tied to the border. I'd say if you heard about North Monaghan man or Donegal person you'd think they were from the north and if you heard a South Armagh person you'd think they were from the republic.
We in Dublin say Howza Goin or Howya, or Wats da stawry. You say Well, hi abite yee or wats da sitchiyashun?
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.
I'm from Belfast, and when i was down in Dublin a few years ago someone asked me where in Scotland i was from
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!
I'm French and after a trip to Ireland I took the nothern Dublin accent. Oops
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
It is strange how, from what I understand, basically each city kinda has it's own accent
Ireland's not a huge landmass but the people there speak many
drastically different accents, something I always thought was both odd and interesting
Correct
The accent in Ireland changes every 5 miles
My boyfriend is from Cork and you hit the nail on the head with that accent! Fair play to ye!
Haha I'm English and I was thrown in at the deep end - my first experience of Ireland was going on holiday with my best friend to visit her family in Kerry
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.
For me as a Norwegian, Irish dialect is the most beautiful language.
It's a whole other language 😂
@@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 laughed when the guy had the spar bag on his head
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
Don't forget their 1916 documentary, that was really something.
Mark Mahony the rubber bandits
Mark Mahony they're the rubberbandits. Ye should watch horse outside. It's pure class boy
FELLAS is even better.
I died on the Cork accent because it's true, I'm from Cork myself.
Yup, and the stereotypical Irish accent is mid Ireland, Kildare, Offaly, Meath and West Meath
Ahh not really south meath is a north Dublin accent and north meath is a south Cavan accent.
I used to live in Sligo but i moved to Sudan and i had a classmate who was another sudanese diaspora who happened to be from Cork. This guy used to pronounce car as “cerr” and cork as “cark” 😭😭 love to my corkers still ❤️❤️
Im irish and I absolutely love the Cork accent, it cracks me up every time 😂😂
Who is here after Jacksepticeye's video.
i was just about to commment this lol top o' shemorhnin tae yaueh
Ah shure y not
Yep.
Me
OH MY GOD I AM HERE HOW DID YOU PREDICT THAT AMIN WOOAH WHAT THE FUCK
Newfoundland accent definitely came from Cork area
More Waterford /S.E.Tipperary.
I can't wait for the English version to come out..
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.
Why am I here? I am not even an Irish. Well, I have an Irish best friend and I love how friendly she is. Hugs from Indonesia
I love Irish accents and everything about Ireland. I'm Welsh and find their Celtic language much more beautiful. I'll go on holiday there someday.
Where's the midlands and Galway accents?
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?!!!
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.
+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.
Galway accents are so neutral it's hard to explain
Connaught not good enough for you!?!
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.
Thank goodness for the subtitles during the Kerry bit.
I've known about this video for awhile, but I loved Jack's reaction to it. I had always hoped he would react to it
I'm from cork I've been to the north and their accent was so different to me and my family when my American cousins came over to Ireland we kept having to repeat out sentences bc we speak so fast I don't know if he mentioned but we say like a lot while talking lol 😂
Emer Peglar im from the north n i use like in nearly every sentence 😹the majority up here do as well lol
Ye would fit well in south Wales..they use it every other word like..there I go usin' it..😄
bbonner422 you mean there’s Americans that are ACTUALLY Irish? A US tourist found out I’d lived in skibereen and was on me like fly on shite all night gassing about his great great granny. Mind you I got a fair few pints out of it!
The cork accent sounds like a Jamaican trying to speak French.
Matthew Cashman fuck you prick
This is really interesting! The Irish language is cool and I like the Irish accents. Even after watching this, I may not always be able to tell the accents apart, but still very interesting to know!
The irish language is not in this video these are irish english language accents this is irish ta me ag dul go dti an baille chun siopadoireacht a dheanamh
I spent 9 beautiful months in Cork and i have to go back to Greece in 1 week 😢 im crying my eyes out already, ill miss the irish so muchhh!!!
That South Dublin accent as demonstrated in the video is actually pretty close to an American Brahmin (upper class) accent, now largely vanished. See: Thurston Howell III from Gilligan's Island.
Oh my God you're right. No wonder it sounded familiar to me. I used to watch that show all the time when it came on late at night back in the 90s.
+The Movie Dealers Not all of south dublin
+irishlad76 I think when most Americans think of an Irish accent, they think of that Southern, County Cork one as noted in the video. Probably because thats the one that would be displayed all the time in American movies and TV shows when they wanted to show an explicitly Irish character -- see Chief OHara from the Batman TV Series. Saints preserve us, Commissioner Gordon!!!
+The Movie Dealers do you mean MR MAGOO !!? I actually didn't catch GILLIGAN's island til later and fondly remember GINGER lots of gingers in IRELAND alright off topic yes people in MASSACHUSETTS have a similar sound to them form what you describe CHEERS boi!!
+Kunkka Yea I talk nothing like the south Dublin accent demonstrated in the vid neither does anyone I know :\
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
This is great for even Irish people to watch bc I always had trouble differentiating between southern accents~
Just saw jacksepticeye reacting to this. Now I'm watching this just in case he didn't show all of the irish accent
Ye me too
me too
I'm from Cork
was it a good representation? I have a part and id like a sense of authenticity
My dads from cork I wish I could speak Irish but the accent only slips through when I'm angy/shouting
|-/
Kerry
Me to from midleton
So technically the real Irish accent is from around Cork and Mayo because the North is influenced by the Scottish accent and is part of the UK and Dublin is influenced by Britain.
No, theres loads of the country he left out that sounds different to these accents.
Joseph O'Connor You do realise "to hell or to connacht" was used as a way of saying Connacht is like hell. My dad is from Mayo and he said thats what they said about the land in the west its so bad its like hell which is why the english took the north because it had the best land.
ThisIsAChannel It was when Cromwell was over taking hold of the Irish land for the english, they were basically told fuck off to Connacht because we own this and yes land quality is much poorer in the west in comparison the the rest of Ireland.
'To hell or to Connacht' was that you could either go to 'hell' meaning that you'd be killed or to the boggy land in Connacht that the British didn't want for plantation.
Jade Lam your all wrong. At that time the British had prisons in Tasmania Island, Australia. So Hell was basically prison in the other side of the world. You would never see your family again. Ever.
Irish accents are so hard to impersonate too!
Stacie J I've never heard anyone do a good Irish accent
Conor Rooney unless your from Ireland like myself
I’m from Dublin and have been fearing going to Kerry ever since I heard the accent
1:05 this ones my favorite 😌
Wasn't expecting this to be a FACTS video! Can't forget those dulcet tones of a good Sharpson boy!
I was watching jackaboy's vid, and I thought I heard a familiar voice.
Irish accents are sexy.
Love from your neighbour.

any one from jack/sean our lovely Irish lad's channel
Don't generalise the north. There are 6 individual counties. I am from Tyrone and I sound nothing like a person from Belfast.
As a fellow Republican I'm sure you were also annoyed the North's counties weren't outlined.
+Dominic Hanson I agree tere from de uk
Nadine Curtis Nadine Curtis, is there a more loyalist name than that? I doubt it
Yes thank you and I'm from Tyrone too
Hell I'm from Belfast and we sound nothing like his interpretation (': generalising and exaggeration to the max here
