    I've watched a few videos summarizing Irish accents, and from what I can tell, no-one in Ireland knows what they sound like.
    I also visited Scotland (as a western Canadian,) and was asked more than once if I was from Ireland.
    I'm getting suspicious. Is Ireland a real place, or is it like Narnia?

      The first time we visited Ireland, we stopped at Blarney Castle (yes, we did the usual *tourist* stuff on that trip). A man with a thick French accent asked me to take a picture of him and his wife with the castle in the background. I obliged, and told him that it was my pleasure to do it.
      As I handed his camera back to him, he asked me what part of Canada I was from.
      I’ve lived in Texas my whole 50-year life, and my accent gives it away almost immediately. (Folks tell me that I have an accent, but I consider myself to be accent-neutral. Everyone ELSE has an accent.) :)
      For the record, I’m an unapologetic Texas exceptionalist. Until our first vacation to Ireland, I would have NEVER given a thought to living anywhere other than my little slice of heaven on earth. That said, I would move to Ireland in a heartbeat....wouldn’t even pack a suitcase! I’d give my company to an employee, and I’d give my house to my daughter. Just park my truck and the airport and let the bank go pick it up! LOL
      I have no clue whether I have an Irish bloodline, but Éire is in my blood!

    Speaking as a regular visitor to Ireland from the UK, the only accent that eludes me is Kerry. I remember asking a farmer direction back in the 1980s, and if I'd asked him to repeat it we'd have been stood there now. He was definitely speaking English, not Irish, but I'd have probably got the Irish quicker without understanding a word.

      South Tipperary is in Offaly, so it would be similar to Kildare, Offaly and Laois. If you go to Athlone there is a right mixture between Midlands and the West. It's part Midlands part Roscommon. Mayo was left out and that is probably the most laud back accent, similar to the people,very easy going.

    I'm from Mayo born and bred and a proud Westerner and I don't care how the dubs make fun of us. Our accent is class no matter how much its joked about. There's one main accent in Mayo but it's thicker in different parts. If ye don't know we pronounce shh in words. We also throw ín or een at the end of words like birdín or dogeen and so on, basically when your talking about something small. Now the dubs like to call us boggers. In East of Mayo its very soft. But there's some towns in the east with thick accents. Up the North they sound a biteen more high pitched but are thicker speakers in the North West. The North East sound like the east. Now the South of Mayo is where I'm from and we speak very thick accents down here, we're much thicker than the North and East. But I'm afraid the West Mayo people take the tae with the way they talk they aren't hard to understand but they speak alot deeper and thicker. The accent is always thicker where people speak Irish. So North West , South and West do the most. East and North East not that much. Never be ashamed of your accent it's apart of who you are 💪

      @@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344 That's likely because you have a big bog head on you. You were suggesting Dubliners were obsessed with slagging off Mayo, whereas nobody gives a shite about Mayo. Sporting rivalry is something else. Well, I say 'rivalry', but... ah, ok, that made your inferiority complex worse. Got you. Someone ribbing you for being a massive culchie bogtrotter is not Dubliners furiously hating Mayo, it's Dubliners taking the piss... out of you... and your pretend Irish. Why badly transpose jackeen into Irish, when it's an English word? To appear super-patriotic? Because the effect is somewhat different than you perhaps imagined.

      It's only a bit of slagging. The thing that Mayo folk need to understand is that Dubliners are actually very fond of Mayo. I loved it up there so much that I took one of your women home with me.

    I was in Heathrow airport, waiting for a plane, and around me were couples speaking English with American, English, Irish, Scottish and Australian accents. The Irish accent was the most beautiful, but also the most difficult for this American to understand. I have no idea where in Ireland they were from, but it was a very strong accent. I was in a youth hostel in Toronto, and there were two young Irish men sharing the room. They both seemed like nice people, but took an immediate dislike to each other due to regional prejudices. One was from Dublin, the other from a small seaside town, I don't remember where. Was the antipathy town and country, political, religious? Whatever the source, It seemed totally unnecessary.
