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.
Brendan Kri yup the person next to me sounds different they sound like a scot even tho there great great grandparents up till him are irish

There’s one Ireland. 🇮🇪
northern ireland it’s called but okay
I have a friend from cork and it’s actually so hilarious when she says she doesn’t have an accent while talking in the strongest cork accent I’ve ever heard.
I wonder how different the accents are when the Irish talk with their original Celtic-like language.
@@StrangerHappened you mean when Irish people speak in Irish?
@@countdoowho7183 Indeed, I mean actual Irish, not Irish English. I can not find a video about the accents.
@@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).
@@Sean_B123 Cool, thanks. It is a rare knowledge.

Yeah been born and bred a dub then moved to Sydney 6 years ago and I still get slagged
Surprised your relatives by hiding in the bush for 20 years and hanging around bogan people in country towns will unpronounceable names. (Ireland and Wales have worse name, like wtf is Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch). It would be a nightmare speaking to them with their rich Irish accent from cork or Kelly with your severe bogan central Australian accent that uses every opportunity to shorten a word a made up slang

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.
Dramapony says that with a fucking pony as your pp
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.
Dramapony I'm here because I took the Accent analyzer quiz from Cambridge or was it Oxford, and they said my accent was Athlone. I'm from the U.S.
Dramapony Why? Just get an Irish actor in
When I first heard Cillian Murphy doing his own accent, I presumed he was just putting in on. lol. I used to think he was American. What a dumb dumb.
I'm Irish and I approve this message... So true...
hes from athlone
someone mentioned something about jacksepticeye and where he was from and i replied to their comment but ithink youtube fucked itself and put me comment here
no grime about it like. don't worry mate
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.
@@daggersdukcDiversity of english accents in britain makes me confused.I 'm Turk.Same dialect is spoken in large area in my country.Such as, all west black sea region speak same.Or almost all central anatolia speak same.But you brits have a lot of different dialects
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!
The cork accent sounds like the Scouse accent

nay it was over the top
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.
English isn’t my native language but the Irish accent is by far my most favorite. There’s a beautiful rhythm to it. Just beautiful and very pleasing to listen to.

Cork was very accurate boy!👏🏻😂
Excuse me it's pronounced "Bai"
Get ur Irish culture right
Kairk wahs vairy akurahte bai
Sure was
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.
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.
I love that you didn't even attempt Connacht.
Lol I came for that
SweetSirenia yeah.... even those from wildest Kerry can be stumped by that errrr dialect to be polite
I’m a mayo-man gene wise, but grew up in England and have a very... ‘Articulate’ accent, and whenever I go to meet my relatives I’m just like... sorry what?
Erm.....? Could you repeat that?
Sorry one more time?
And then just end up nodding and pretending I completely understood what they said.
SweetSirenia Connacht and the middle of Ireland are irrelevant tbh
Nobody gives a shite about Connacht.
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.
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.
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
I'm from a place called Newfoundland, and we we're settled by irish scottish and english... its interesting to hear these... some of those accents are alive and well here too. Almost all the way across this island bhy is used. most commonly . yes bhy.
It's spelled 'biy' cmon biy get it right!
+Greg Dawe The first time I met a Newfie (after moving from Vancouver to Calgary), I actually asked him if he was from Ireland. There's a lot of similarity in the pronunciation and melody of speaking. Cool stuff!
my brother went traveling and was staying in a hostel with other travelers: americans and a canadian guy from new found land! But when they went drinking and everyone was locked my brother was the only person who could understand the canadian and he had to translate what he said to everyone else hahah
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.
Presumably in Nova Scotia then?
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.
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 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 ❤️❤️
I really wish you’d included Galway as well.
Farmer Michael has that covered
Me too, that's where I'm from
I’m from Galway too Céard faoi Gaillimh
I wished that they had covered the west in general
I live across from Farmer Michaels house
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?
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
1:05 this ones my favorite 😌
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 was brilliant, I can't stop laughing
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.
its entertainment.. does the best ones.. would become dull if he did every boreen
Yeah Fermanagh woulda been a good one
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.
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 ..
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.
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
I wanted to see the rest. Just like some others apparently. Was really enjoying it on Jack's channel. :)
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).]
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
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...
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 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 😂😂
Do you ever just burst out laughing while hearing some of the weirder Irish accents or are you guys used to it?
RonMD I'm very much used to it, I hear it all the time.
Bam Itz Millie Yeah, that was silly of me to ask. You'd probably have the same reaction to my accent :)
RonMD Why, where are you from?
Russia :)
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 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?
Newfoundland accent definitely came from Cork area
More Waterford /S.E.Tipperary.
I'm travelling to dublin next month, and as a foreigner english speaker i'm glad the dublin accent is actually the easiest one
I'm Mexican, but I am totally in love with the Irish culture and the different accents are great
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!!!
Ireland has more accents on that tiny island then the rest of the world put together
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.
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
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
Thank goodness for the subtitles during the Kerry bit.
ya feckin' jackeen...what about the wesht?!!
I died on the Cork accent because it's true, I'm from Cork myself.
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.
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
i did not understand 80% of the video
Really?

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? 😂

Just saw jacksepticeye reacting to this. Now I'm watching this just in case he didn't show all of the irish accent

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'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!
Aww man. More homework? I'd love to watch a video that showed that.
It's not boy! The way that we say it is bye!
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
***** 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.
killboggins Joke about Dublin? Donegal 3-14 - 0-17 Dublin
***** Well since I don't watch any Irish sport it means nothing to me but I guess it could be funny to someone.
killboggins Do you know your man? Ah go on you do know him.
The one with the house.
Well anyway he's dead
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.
This whole video makes me giggle. I love it.
I loved Flushed Away - that bit with the fish saying "have you seen my dad?" In that british dialect had me screaming
Im irish and I absolutely love the Cork accent, it cracks me up every time 😂😂
we dont all sound like leprechauns on acid lol
James Taylor agreed
Incredibly entertaining (and informative) video. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video, I'm personally trying to make an Irish character, and didn't know how Irish I wanted to make him, now I know
I'm from Northern Ireland and I thank you for this video XD
county down wuh bout you?
+Average Alien Dublin💪🏽
Wexford. 👍
ulster ftw 😂👌
You're from Ireland ;)
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.
Hey I just found you from a Jacksepticeye video, but mate you're freaking hilarious! XD your animation style is awesome, keep doing what you're doing ^_^
Irish accents are sexy.
Love from your neighbour.
🇬🇧❤️🇮🇪
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
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
I'm a dub and I absolutely luv the kerry limerick and Cork accent it's brilliant when u get to talk to one that's large as life because there stories are so animated does always have me smiling
Love the rubber bandits reference 😍 my daughters middle name was heavily influenced by one of their songs lol
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.
Rofl.
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.
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
The accents are lovely and the presentation is hilarious lol
Jack only showed a bit of this gold mine of a video, so I had to watch the entire thing myself.
