@@surfboarding5058 what I said isn’t wrong at all. The Cork accent has absolutely no connection to Jamaican whatsoever other than a common French influence.
You say that, because the Cork accent sounds exactly like Dutch. It's those throat clearing sounds I can't get over, what the hell are those? Only a Dutchman or an Arab could find them beautiful... When I first heard someone speak in a genuine Cork accent, I couldn't decide whether they were speaking Dutch or Arabic. I was genuinely surprised to find out it was something resembling English.
i’m from cork and met him in the english market ..... tommy loves cork and packs em in down here ... great sketch all the same. sound fella . great tv show on rté
I grew up in English so I have an English accent, but my family are from Cork so at family reunions listening to them is the funniest thing. Ireland has the best and funniest accents in the world with Dublin and Limerick to hahah
I am an American. I love Ireland and I have been multiple times. County cork is especially amazing and the people are brilliant but dear lord, I could not understand them!
I'm a Dub, but one of my favorite accents ever is the Cork accent, so musical, i love it, i love Cork. Even when they're giving out to each other its a song, ''My dear man'' -- they're so animated.
My grandfather was from Cork, and a majority of the family still lives there, so I definitely grew up thinking that everyone from Ireland talked like that. Imagine my surprise...
I'd believe that because I was watching a video with some Norwegians speaking a few years back and a middle aged woman spoke in Norwegian and I remember thinking at the time it was very like a cork accent! Closer than Tommy Tiernans retarded version anyway!
Alf Torp I met a couple from Cork in Spain and I did actually think they were Norwegian untill they actually said they were from Cork later in the conversation. The accent does sound more scandinavian than Irish to me.
I think we should all be so proud of all the accents we have and when ever I hear any one speaking in an irish accent or even a Liverpudlian accent it makes me feel like I'm being soothed with a big warm blanket being wrapped around me.
Amazing how some people take offense.. I'm from Cork and while he hasn't got it nailed, he's not far from the lilt… you either find it funny or not… Tommy can be very funny at his best
It sounds like hes attempting a jamaican accent but doesn't Jamaican accent come from a Cork accent because irish were sent they're. Please don't hurry me if I'm wrong. I'm but a wee boy
I'm an American, and my boss grew up on a farm in Cork. 30 years of watching BBC television and I can only understand him 3 out of 10 tries, God bless him.
No wonder you're struggling 😂 BBC= British Broadcasting Corporation! It might help, sort of, ish, but not really, if your boss was from Northern Ireland but Cork is in the ROI and as South as you can go!
I was in a taxi to hospital today and I was doing both of these jokes with the driver. His 'If Neil Armstrong Was From Cork' was better. We just recited Cracked back and forth I adorrrrred him!
I’ve got family from on the Cork and Kerry border. It’s amazing how different the accents are among the family depending where they live. My uncle has a thick beard and I can’t understand a word he says, I can’t lip read or see if he’s smiling or not. Lovely fellow though and a beautiful part of the world
I've lived for 2 years and a half in Cork and I never heard a caricatural thing like the accent in this video. There is not only one accent in Cork. You have the travellers one, the country-side one, the regular one, ect
Many years ago I met a bunch of French students in West Cork who were training as translators for the UN, so were there to brush up their accents. Might have been some surprise when they tried them out.

My Dad's ancestors fled Cork during the Potato Famine. So when my Irish expat husband took me there to see where my Paternal accent (and my maiden name originates), we could not understand anyone! :-O And he is from Ireland...the north, but he has an accent! It was great though! I bought everything I could with my Coat of Arms. Was nice to touch base with the irish side with roots.
It's actually the other way around! Mixed children left Jamaica in the 1700s and went to Cork, Limerick and Dublin. Jamaica had different African tribes. The words in the Jamaican patois is heavily a mix of two major African countries. If you travel to West Africa you will hear the accent too! My grandmother is primarily from an area where 80% of Irish lived in Jamaica and she didn't have a Cork accent. Especially most at that time lived in a region way up North in Jamaica where the temperatures are lower; almost cold!
Cillian Murphy is from Cork, very unique features. Also many regions outside of Dublin and in Dublin have black hair or brown hair. This didn't come from the Spanish!
"It's not Cork", i fuckin luv it 😂😂I wish i cud get my Aunty Sally to say it 😂 I holidayed in the city of Cork, and believe it or not folks, i went just for that very reason, the accent ! "It's been a powerful day" sed the taxi driver, and thanks to Angela's Ashes, i knew wot he meant ! I'd luv to revisit, a beautiful part of Ireland, with beautiful people speaking in that beautiful accent !!!
What kind of accent does Tommy have naturally? My Granny was from Cork and I'm reading stories including about living in Ireland for 4 years ... and want to do the accent properly. Oh, did I say my people were from Cark? It bears repeating.
definitely, bobzyurunkel -- I was going to make the comment until I saw yours. Seems there were alot of sailors & indentured servants from that area working alongside the slaves back in the day. My niece was amazed when she first heard the O'Donovan brothers during their interviews when they won in the Olympics... 'they sound Jamaican!' she says... silly girl... I was like: 'no, we sound like THEM' lol there's a bit of Glasgow--ish stuff going on in some rural areas in JA too / fun to listen to
When you hear the Cork accent you can really hear the influence it had on the Jamaican accent.
Yeah, you definitely can.
😂😂😂
It had no influence whatsoever on it, it just had a similar influence of French
@@ryanmoore7283wrong it had a influence on bajan accents

I am Dutch living in Cork, I think it's the most beautiful accent in the world!

No bother!

My father was from Ballydehob, we lived in London.
For the first 10 years of my life I hadn't a clue what he was talking about.
In opinion cork accent is the most beautiful 😍
Northern Irish for me 😊
his cork accent is on the money for me!! so good
I was in a taxi to hospital today and I was doing both of these jokes with the driver. His 'If Neil Armstrong Was From Cork' was better. We just recited Cracked back and forth I adorrrrred him!
He's dead right about the variation in such a small island. Even in the North the Belfast accent is very different to Ballymena.

I absolutely love this..
tinkers trying to speak French killed me
He almost sounds like Bobcat Goldwaithe.
😂
The Cork accent is the best accent in Ireland!
Hysterical. A lot of us here in the US don't hear the accents, I absolutely do (Cork family). Wish I could imitate it.
My 3rd great-grandfather was born in Cork in 1848!
This is literally almost every single elderly man here
Definitely had some hand in the Jamaican accent 😂😂
Irish slaves taught African slaves to speak English

He really mailed the Johnathan Rees Meyer / Graham Norton / Cillian Murphy accent alright fair play.
Most of my family was from Kilkenny, and I can imagine how hard it would’ve been to understand them.
I’m also from cork and he’s not wrong
I visited Cork and busked their. They seemed to understand my Music.

There was an astronaut, get this, called Michael Collins.

now I know where the Jamaicans get their accent from. I think its because of the Irish slavery that was in the Caribbean
Assyrian-Aramean Apostolic That's exactly the reason behind it
There were Irish slaves in the Caribbean?

apartnely northern accents influenced by the scottish, dubs by the english and cork by the welsh which would explain the differences

well its not cork!!!
He also lived in Zambia for a while. What's your point? Whenever he's asked where he's from he says Navan, not Donegal.
