Indeed. I was watching a documentary about the dog eating culture in east asia by some far left group and there was an old man living in a Japanese town that said when he was young dog meat would be available coupled with post war famines; he heard that the wild dogs would bark at a person that traded dog meat whenever he passed by.
@@gggfyg1038 At 0:51 the man does speak Irish. He says "San thuas! An gcíonn tú é? San thuas a bhíodar!" which means "Up there! You see it? They were up there!" Funny thing is his accent while speaking Irish is far easier to understand than his English. It's probably safe to assume that this man's first language is Irish, since he spoke Irish while not being interviewed, also he's living in a rural Kerry area (Probably Uíbh Rátha or Corca Dhuibhne).
County Kerry where this is filmed is one of the Gaeltacht areas - where people still speak the native Irish language. It's not surprising he speaks with a strong accent.

The funny thing is that English is probably this mans second lagnuage, he's one of the few Irish people who would have spoken Irish as their first language.

Genuine Kerry girl here. Grew up rural Kerry (family here), moved to England for my teens-early 20s (lost most of the accent, sad times) and now back in the kingdom once again... I hate to admit it and I stg it's not a humble brag but I could understand what he was saying almost perfectly. I have an uncle and I swear to god even this guy would have trouble understanding him, like *holy shit.* Sure me mam, aunties and all them understand him absolutely perfect cuz like they grew up with him and I'd be sat with him like "what the hell is he saying", I REALLY have to focus and listen carefully to understand and I feel bad cuz the rest of my family just click with it instantly. Guess I'm the outlier... But god damn to an outsider it must sound like complete nonsense lol
Been to Ireland a few times. I'm from Liverpool. Didn't have much problem with the accent. He just talks fast. He complained, rightly, that nobody is doing anything about this, so he's offering the reward. The sheep go up the mountain at night, all the ewes. Somebody knows what he's doin'. The sheep are all these people have for their livelihood. May the green land of saints and legends never deprive us of tales of country folk, no matter how grey and tragic.
Yes! I'm from southern England and I could understand the 1st farmer because I thought his lilt / rhythm of speech seemed somewhat liverpudlian! Once I switched that part of my brain on, he was much easier to understand. And yes, the both talk v fast. The 2nd farmer's accent was very different; more stereotypical of what people expect an Irish accent to sound like
@@musashidanmcgrath well Liverpool is basically also a scottish city, a welsh city, a french city (that explains the throat sound), and if you're pushing it, icelandic. That's a port town for you.
Ah, so maybe you would know. What is the most common accent for those living in rural farming/ranching areas in Ireland? As in, what is it called? Like, this is a legitimate question.
I’ve lived in Ireland for two years and I am learning English, every two or three months, I get back to the video in order to realise whether I have made any progress in my listening skills or not.! 😅
@@Jack-cv4ej well you do realise nearly 40% can speak it but only 4% speak it on a daily basis. You obviously live in Dublin or Cork or some city where ya don’t have a clue what’s going on around ya. There are gaelscoils everywhere in Ireland and people do go to them, sure the only school where I live is a gaelscoil and I’m in the north of Ireland too😂
@@adammacdomhnail2014 cmon now it’s not 40% most of of Ireland can understand bits, plus Irish teachers and past Irish secondary schools but nowhere 40% wish it was though
A few years back ( 1989 ) I was in a group of strangers that were asked to pair - up and have a ten minute conversation with. Every member of the group not having met before. I was paired with a lad from Donegall, in the North West of Ireland. I couldn`t understand a word he said. After all conversations had ceased we were each asked to give an account of the life of the new - found friend we`d been talking with..... Some of the broadest and unfathomable accents are found toward the north of these islands ( Ireland, Scotland in particular ) I`m from Lincolnshire myself and the traditional accent from this place is well represented by a bloke callled Farmer Wink - who has some videos available here in YT.
Second guy was more understandable to me. "It's not all that difficult. All ya gotta do is have a good yard, have a good dragon, oh at night some moonshine light."
As a Dubliner, when I lived in Dublin I understood this like 50%, maybe at most 70. Now after living in the west since October and going between home and uni out here (2 diff towns), I understand this far better. About 90%+, basically understand the whole lot.
Mikey's next door neighbor was far easier to understand. As for Mikey, I literally would have been convinced he was speaking gaelic if not for some of the comments.
The only part of that I could understand was when the second farmer started speaking at about the 1:00 mark..."I'm missing about ten...ten ewes. It's not that difficult, all you have t' do is have a good dog. Have a good dog, and go at night, some moon-shine night, put the dog around 'em, put 'em on a trailer or walk 'em. And then, probably somebody has t' pick 'em up. Whoever's doin' it know what he's doin'."
I watched this without the subtitles and managed to make a fair bit of it out. My reckoning is that, much like with the strong Scottish accents, you can make it out once you've learnt to recognise the unique inflections and some of the slang terms that might be used (though in this dude's case I don't think he was using any slang).
@citifaka True! I made a point of listening to them with my eyes closed to see how much I could pick up. Not much at all with the first man, but a little better with the latter
This accent is worth learning in case you’re ever cross-examined in court.

@@noirekuroraigami2270 An Irish born pal doesn't call it "Gailic". It's just Irish. Of course, they call Ireland by their name "Eire".
Or if you correctly translate, you get a cash prize and a linguistics medal. Either way as a native english speaker I maybe made out three words from this guy and I’m pretty sure some of what he was saying was in Gaelic.
This man's first language was probably Irish (Also known as Irish Gaelic.) At 0:51 he says "San thuas! An gcíonn tú é? San thuas a bhíodar!". He said this while looking away from the camera to someone (probably his son).
This means, "Up there! Do you see it? They were up there!" Funnily enough, his accent is far easier to understand while speaking Irish lol.
right i’ve been learning irish recently and i feel stupid inputting “Shushuash”

The end screen sheep perfectly depicts the reaction of me trying to understand his accent
Genuine Kerry girl here. Grew up rural Kerry (family here), moved to England for my teens-early 20s (lost most of the accent, sad times) and now back in the kingdom once again... I hate to admit it and I stg it's not a humble brag but I could understand what he was saying almost perfectly. I have an uncle and I swear to god even this guy would have trouble understanding him, like *holy shit.* Sure me mam, aunties and all them understand him absolutely perfect cuz like they grew up with him and I'd be sat with him like "what the hell is he saying", I REALLY have to focus and listen carefully to understand and I feel bad cuz the rest of my family just click with it instantly. Guess I'm the outlier... But god damn to an outsider it must sound like complete nonsense lol
There’s a video about a beached whale in Ireland and even the Irish have no idea what the man is saying ;)
Skye are you replying to comments for me lmao
"Well, there was 45 sheep missing..." And thats about everything i understood 😂
Been to Ireland a few times. I'm from Liverpool. Didn't have much problem with the accent. He just talks fast. He complained, rightly, that nobody is doing anything about this, so he's offering the reward. The sheep go up the mountain at night, all the ewes. Somebody knows what he's doin'. The sheep are all these people have for their livelihood. May the green land of saints and legends never deprive us of tales of country folk, no matter how grey and tragic.
lol bloody scouse
Você fala coisas muito sérias e importantes vou anotar tudo para meditar.
for the sake of argument, you scouse are also just as hard to understand 😂
Yes! I'm from southern England and I could understand the 1st farmer because I thought his lilt / rhythm of speech seemed somewhat liverpudlian! Once I switched that part of my brain on, he was much easier to understand. And yes, the both talk v fast. The 2nd farmer's accent was very different; more stereotypical of what people expect an Irish accent to sound like
@@musashidanmcgrath well Liverpool is basically also a scottish city, a welsh city, a french city (that explains the throat sound), and if you're pushing it, icelandic. That's a port town for you.
as a non native speaker, I tried to comprehend what he was saying without subtitles, it was the hardest time in my life.
i made subtitles for a reason
This is the final boss for testing voice recognition software
I'm learning Irish and the regional accents. These lads are the final bosses.
Nah this is the guy you fight in the tutorial to figure our how to play the game
Ah, so maybe you would know. What is the most common accent for those living in rural farming/ranching areas in Ireland? As in, what is it called? Like, this is a legitimate question.
I’ve lived in Ireland for two years and I am learning English, every two or three months, I get back to the video in order to realise whether I have made any progress in my listening skills or not.! 😅
now learn irish
@@flutters.mp4 i live in ireland and i can safely say about 90% of us dont have a single fucking clue how to speak irish
@@Jack-cv4ej well you do realise nearly 40% can speak it but only 4% speak it on a daily basis. You obviously live in Dublin or Cork or some city where ya don’t have a clue what’s going on around ya. There are gaelscoils everywhere in Ireland and people do go to them, sure the only school where I live is a gaelscoil and I’m in the north of Ireland too😂
@@adammacdomhnail2014 limerick
@@adammacdomhnail2014 cmon now it’s not 40% most of of Ireland can understand bits, plus Irish teachers and past Irish secondary schools but nowhere 40% wish it was though
I would just shake my head and agree
A few years back ( 1989 ) I was in a group of strangers that were asked to pair - up and have a ten minute conversation with. Every member of the group not having met before. I was paired with a lad from Donegall, in the North West of Ireland. I couldn`t understand a word he said. After all conversations had ceased we were each asked to give an account of the life of the new - found friend we`d been talking with.....
Some of the broadest and unfathomable accents are found toward the north of these islands ( Ireland, Scotland in particular ) I`m from Lincolnshire myself and the traditional accent from this place is well represented by a bloke callled Farmer Wink - who has some videos available here in YT.
Second guy was more understandable to me. "It's not all that difficult. All ya gotta do is have a good yard, have a good dragon, oh at night some moonshine light."
“It’s not all that difficult. All you’ve got to do is have a good dog. A good dog and go at night, some moonshine night.”
A dragon!!! 😂😂😂
dawg not dragon lad
all you have to do is have a good dragon haha
Comodo?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂lol thats what i heard too and i was like what ?! A dragon .
i wouldn't be surprised if 100 years later this is a totally different language
As a Dubliner, when I lived in Dublin I understood this like 50%, maybe at most 70. Now after living in the west since October and going between home and uni out here (2 diff towns), I understand this far better. About 90%+, basically understand the whole lot.
The first fella still has a Scandinavian accent after so many centuries...
I'm writing this 1000th comment to say that I love to come back to this kind of video, as there is something genuinely warm and kind about them
thank you for being here 💖💖
I'm an older Irish woman and not even I can understand this one!!🤭🥰🇮🇪🙏
Second farmer I understood completely. First one all I got was that it'd cost him a 'bit of money' !
He might have been saying "help me, I'm having a stroke ..."
0:24 0:24 0:24 “BRE-XIT!!”
As a french trying to learn some english accents, I genuinely didn't get a word of what that good man said
moi aussi, mais tout va bien pour nous.
Don't worry, I'm a native EN speaker and neither did I.
I'm not sure even most Irish people would understand this man hahaha
I'm Irish and I'm getting the odd word French is more understandable to me
Pareil 😂😂
The last shot of the sheep going “Eh?” Is what broke me 😂
I would believe this man is German if there is no subtitle.
Shotout to the goat Who wrote the subtitles
yep that's me!
Protect your culture, protect your language. Diversity is what makes this world beautiful.
What culture? Lol.
@@Convolutedtubules pohtaytoes
Well many languages are results of languages and cultures mixing in the past. Cultures are never static.
@@Convolutedtubules Irish culture. Did yer mammy drop ya?
@@Wulfjager Very funny, mate.
Mikey's next door neighbor was far easier to understand. As for Mikey, I literally would have been convinced he was speaking gaelic if not for some of the comments.
"One of the farmers is offering award for person(s) who can understand what he's saying ... "
I always show this to my Japanese colleagues who are worried about their level of English. It always f*cks them up.
be nice to them tho
That is so cruel
Why?
@@kareem-dg4cz whynotshurelike whogivesabollox
The only part of that I could understand was when the second farmer started speaking at about the 1:00 mark..."I'm missing about ten...ten ewes. It's not that difficult, all you have t' do is have a good dog. Have a good dog, and go at night, some moon-shine night, put the dog around 'em, put 'em on a trailer or walk 'em. And then, probably somebody has t' pick 'em up. Whoever's doin' it know what he's doin'."
I'm not irish, I'm sorry
neither am i lol
I understood almost all. All except “and go at night” part.
The first farmer’s accent is more intense.
Many thanks.
Now try and translate the first farmer interviewed.
“You need a good dog, walking in the moonshine light. Whoever did it knew what he was doing “
The accent is incomprehensible, but the second I turned on subtitles I could understand every word.
I think scottish and chileans make a good couple
Blacmorecito que mierda dijiste¿ el escocés solo lo entiende otro escocés, en chile la diferencia son los modismos que cada país de Sudamérica tiene
No entiendo nada de lo que escribe OnePiece; de seguro es chileno, dejenlo niños.
@@onepiece666 tranquila gente, solo hay que responderle en chileno:
weon wea la wea po weon
@@onepiece666 la verdad es que los chilenos no se les entiende casi, hablan muy rápido y no pronuncian bien la palabras.
Gran acento los chilenos, me recuerdan un poco a nuestros compatriotas canarios
If you drink Irish whiskey, he makes perfect sense
I watched this without the subtitles and managed to make a fair bit of it out. My reckoning is that, much like with the strong Scottish accents, you can make it out once you've learnt to recognise the unique inflections and some of the slang terms that might be used (though in this dude's case I don't think he was using any slang).
This is the final boss for court stenographers.
It's not that their accent is strong it's that the Irish have transcended so their speech is on a higher level than us mortals.
Without the subtitles this man doesn't even sound like he's speaking English
0:51 here he's speaking Irish...
its always crazy how much more clear stuff like this is with subtitles.
@citifaka True! I made a point of listening to them with my eyes closed to see how much I could pick up. Not much at all with the first man, but a little better with the latter
And here i thought i had learnt perfect english only to find this last boss
