Its mental. I heard it years ago on that TV show "Republic of Doyle" and they even use the same slang words, cadence and phrasing as we do and it blows my mind !
1) There's a Gaelteach in Newfoundland 2) Watch the TV show Republic of Doyle, which is set in Newfoundland, but a bunch of the actors are Irish because the accents are so similar.
Coming through arrivals in Toronto in 1979 to visit, and I was delighted to hear the security guard's Irish accent. Until I said so, and he told me he was from Newfoundland. I also watched a documentary about Irish speakers in the US. When the children spoke Irish, the accents were pure Irish, and then when they spoke English the accent was 100% American.
My great grandparents left Ireland and ended up in nearby Nova Scotia. Wish I had a recording of their speech; all I’ve got are some pictures of me sitting in their laps.
my grandpaw sounded like this and my grandmother was scotch every time I went over there it was decoding for russian by the time i was in my teens i could understand them more
Ha ha I remember when I was living in Ontario and out of the blue my friend handed me her phone to talk to her dad who is a newfy, we have some strange and shall we say eccentric accents here but hearing his voice for the first time still messed with my mind. If I hadn't been told he was born in Canada I'd of swore he was from cork. I'd also argue that the strongest newfound land accent is actually harder to decipher than the middle of nowhere 1 pub for 5 houses areas we have here at home
I was an exchange student to Newfoundland. There are so many accents! One boy said he loved playing, "hice ockey." Loved the Irish accents. It is beautiful there.
I flew from Dublin to Newfoundland years ago. I knew lots from Ireland emigrated for fishery in the past. In St. John's, I hopped into a corner shop only to be greeted by a girl with a Dublin accent. I was stunned, "Did I fly to Dublin??"
@@Rod732 Well, not exactly. The recent majority of the Irish in Ireland did not emigrate, but we have been suffering from the unequal socioeconomic state penalising especially younger generations.
@@davyholden make sure to visit the smaller communities, especially on the Southern Shore and Irish Loop area of the Avalon Penninsula. The accent is still very Irish there. West Coast of the Island has the best scenery, in my opinion.
Would ya feck off he's sounds so country man wow love it god bless ya both your grandfather from mayo .. he's definitely fully Irish n even the background looks like the aran Islands wow.. ❤❤❤ 🇮🇪 🇨🇦 😊 xxx
There's a enclave in the United States fishing port really pretty were the locals have an accent like someone from Devon/Cornwall and they didn't even realise it... really interesting it shows movement of people around the world is,work... brilliant upload...
There's a part of Canada where they all talk with English Norfolk accents even today, also early recordings of Americans confederate soldiers sounding English
It doesn't surprise me. It's called a maritime accent. You can also hear it in Nova Scotia...its because of Irish immigration and integration...also after the famine, the Fenians made several probing attacks on Canada 🇨🇦 with the intention of holding territory there
@@darmerl6548 I heard about it in history class (ontario). These fenians were Irish-born veterans of the US Civil War. Their goal was to take parts of Canada from Britain and trade them back for Irish independence. It's one of the reasons for Canada's confederation in 1867.
I read up on it it's true those were tough men back then. I don't think men nowadays would last long back then unless we were willing to start from scratch and learn from the strong and just go for it like your life was nothing. Most didn't live much beyond 40 anyway. i don't know don't think id last to long back then in that dog eat dog world.
Yeahh I lived in Canada used to live in Dublin and a couple years back I worked with a bunch of guys fromNewfoundland and I would tell them all the time that you guys sound act and look so irish too me it was crazy
I worked with Newfoundlanders for years in various jobs, they are the most genuine , friendly and hospitable people I’ve ever met , they work hard and play hard , love the Irish jigs and reels as well as country music same as the Irish , they love a good laugh and always seeing the funny side of things , family is very important to them, clannish like the Irish and the advice for an Irishman like myself was when you can’t get enough get a Newf 😂
This happened I the UK. In the 1960s a large number of miners moved from.the Newcastle and Durham area to North Nottinghamshire to work in a new mine. The children and grandchildren who stayed in the Nottinghamshire pit villages all grew up to have North East accents. Know as little Gordoe land.
Newfoundland only became part of Canada in 1949. Prior to that it was a British Crown Colony. The first of the immigrants came there from Ireland in the 16th century invited by Lord Falkland (former Lord Lieutenant of Ireland) Priot
Most of newfoundland was settled from mayo and Wexford. It is an island, so it kept its accent cause it was separated from the mainland. The more rural, the more Irish.
I'm Irish...I've actually heard lots of Irish people talk like this. There's not just one Irish accent, I'm from Belfast and our accent is wild compared to this boy 🤣🤣
@@hannahe7556 no if you would stop trying to be a smart arse and understand Northern Ireland is part of the UK not a United Ireland so its actually closer to British than it ever will be Irish. So if you aren't gonna use Northern Irish simply use British. But if she's a catholic she will argue on that she's Irish but anywhere inside the border of NI is classed as British or Northern Irish!
@@xxkillswitchxx1 🤦🏻♀️ please stop. As an Irish person who’s knows a lot more than you do about this just stop. You’re so ignorant I’m not even going there with you. What’s on paper is not always what is in the hearts of the people. And then you brought in the catholic thing lmao. She’s already stated she’s Irish. See if you did actually know something about it, you’d know in the north of Ireland there is a power sharing government. Yes 6 counties ‘belong’ to Britain but that’s just on paper. Yes there are loyalist people who identify as British and then there’s the actual Irish people who would never ever say they lived in Britain. I mean there was a whole war about it. You should really look up something called ‘the troubles’. 🙄 Ignorant sap calling me a smart arse 🤣 every time I re-read your comment it becomes more and more absurd to me. Oh dear, please do educate yourself.
Newfoundlanders don’t see themselves as Canadian. It was a British colony with mostly English and Irish people living there. Only in recent history it joined Canada.
Fair play i put an Irish accent on sometimes i am from a family of 12 my dad was from Clones Monaghan so are a lot of my family or born in England to Irish Parents, 🍀
As a Canadian I can tell you Newfoundlanders have a variety of accents. Some very Irish and some so bad I can’t even understand them. Lol. Great folks.
It’s long been know that Newfies carry a lost Irish Brogue ….. and they use cable to secure their homes down, so as not to be blown away by those fierce Northern Winds & Storms
I thought this was a well known fact. Not sure that accent still exists as that's old old footage. He has a Mayo twang like my dad, but it's a real mix of something else too tbf.
It’s like Ned Kelly’s family himself and his siblings had real Irish accents but born and raised in Australia. Now this lad sounds more Irish than myself
The Irish diaspora is wide and in certain areas very deep. There are more that claim Irish heritage than people in Ireland. In areas of Canada that are remote enough, this makes perfect sense. Ireland spread her children across that area and down the Eastern US seaboard.
We are all mongrels in these islands 6 million British 🇬🇧 have at least one Irish ☘️ grandparent and many more are from Irish descent. My four Grandparents heritage was x 2 Irish x1 Scottish and x 1 English. Our blood is well and truly mixed in the UK 🇬🇧 and Ireland 🇮🇪 That’s a cracking Canadian accent though 👏👏👏👏🇮🇪 🇨🇦
My E-Book is now available! 😁

From Co Louth, got married in Norwich, UK... Our priest was Canadian,.... Sounded more Irish than all of us 🇮🇪👍🤣
😂😂
FACT ABOUT IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣
UA-cam the black Irish of Montserrat
Haha I'm from Louth as well, you'd swear that man was born and raised in Mayo and never left the place lol
@@danmcalester1716 jaysus.... It's a small world hey! Lol. Definitely the wee county 🤣🤣
You hear the Canadian and Irish fighting in his voice 😂😂
Can definitely here the Canadian twang at the end of every word
I really love that. Can hear it hear in Northern Ireland a lot. We have a thick accent and can hear it creeping into foreign accents learning English
There's probably an argument to be made that this could be what the accent was originally and our own Irish accent has evolved to what it is today
Same MAYO😊
Its mental. I heard it years ago on that TV show "Republic of Doyle" and they even use the same slang words, cadence and phrasing as we do and it blows my mind !
Mental isn’t it!
Wandering if I'd get free Guinness in republic of Doyle 🤗..
Aye, Sean McGinley who played Malachi Doyle loved his time in the show there, finding all the similarities,
as he was from Donegal, Eire
@@briandoyle6188 More likely, Screech.
Absolutely loved The Republic of Doyle. Accents were soo Irish sounding. ❤
That is a typical Newfoundland accent.

Hes more Irish then some people living in the country 🤣

No no, he’s got a point
More Irish than me anyway even though Im from cork
@@supplanting Is that the People's Republic of Cork😂
Not hard, Ireland is an arab/afghan colony now...
As an Irish man I can confirm that this is in fact a western Irish accent
Not like any I ever heard
Good Wicklow Wexford accent
Met a bartender in Vancouver who was a Newfie and she had some job convincing me! She sounded (and acted) 100% Irish!
My great grandparents left Ireland and ended up in nearby Nova Scotia. Wish I had a recording of their speech; all I’ve got are some pictures of me sitting in their laps.
It’s a Kilkenny / Waterford accent 😂😂
Well there is an Irish song called the Waterford Boys....and its about boys from Waterford....
@@Rumpelfatz
Why do you reckon its about Waterford ?
I'm getting a bit of wexford vibe 😂
i am from ireland, this guy sounds more irish than me

I watch a fella on UA-cam from Newfoundland called Fitsys Fabrication and I had to ask him was he Irish 🤣
Parts of new foundland still have an Irish accent, especially theore rural places.
He sounds like the local oul lad in the town 😂🇮🇪 he's as Irish as it gets
That "meself" is the most Irish thing..
I wanted to hear what would be done if he hadn't his work done when he's having his supper.
😂
With ya on this ,I know Maine,,our people for sure ☘️🌏
Met a Newfi about 15 years ago, had a Wexford accent. Hilarious 🤣🤣
Sounds more Irish than me
Yeahh I lived in Canada used to live in Dublin and a couple years back I worked with a bunch of guys fromNewfoundland and I would tell them all the time that you guys sound act and look so irish too me it was crazy
As a Newfoundlander myself I’m just glad your pronounced Newfoundland correctly. Tis a rare ting by’
The start of you talking is like me trying to add as many words as I can on my assignment

I love Newfoundlanders, have a friend from there who I always have a laugh with about the similarities
I mean, by distance, Ireland is 5000km closer to newfound land than British Colombia is.
Those who will leave own country today, might lose it forever
Stand up for better future in your own country
I’m from Newfoundland and I have ancestors from Ireland.
Not only does our accent sound similar but the topography of the land as well.
I worked with some newfees back in 95 in Toronto and they all sounded like they just go off the plane like myself, bunch of Culchies :-)
Ah be jaysus that's an gealic ole fella if ever the ear of a cauliflower were to hear lol
It’s like that “up for the match” before the GAA finals.
The way he said 40 makes him Irish idk that he's from Canada welcome to your home ireland lads welcome the fella
That is amazing. I wonder. Is this awesome accent is still around in Newfoundland? Along with the Welsh speakers of Patagonia.
He is not from Ireland or Newfoundland, he is clearly from Peking with an accent like that.
been around all of ireland, live here my whole life, both parents are irish. this man is the most irish sounding person ive heard, what the fuck?
It's also common in the Ottawa Valley in Ontario, though not nearly as heavy as this man had.
My sister lived near Ottawa for a few years and said there was a town where everyone sounded like they were from Ballymena 😅
I'm in Surrey have a friend who used to hand the phone to me cos she couldn't understand what her dad was saying on phone 😂 bless her
I know an irish girl that went to california for a week. When she returned you just wouldn't believe she was Irish.
That there is one proud Irish man..

Priot
Was it as early as the 16th century?? Wow I didn’t realise it was that early.
Given what was going on in Ireland in the 17th century- I doubt they were "invited"
He sounds like he never lost the accent
his grandpappy came from Mayo but he has a tinge of Waterford accent about him.
Most of newfoundland was settled from mayo and Wexford. It is an island, so it kept its accent cause it was separated from the mainland. The more rural, the more Irish.
Been saying this for years. There’s a lad called Fred Jorgensen from Newfoundland. Check him out. Songs for a group called the navigators

Reminds me of that Lebanese soldier stationed at camp shamrock with the Irish battalions who sounds like he's from Cork
1842 left Ireland and travelled to Canada, thats alone is worthy of respect

The farther west u go on the island the thicker the accent gets.
I know in a America I think it might be the appellations. People speak with a Scottish /American accent.
hahaha that is brilliant, I sensed a slightly different accent on 1 or 2 words but I am a north republic man.
I found them same when I lived in Canada 🇨🇦 - I would ask folks from Newfy “ New Foundland what part of Ireland were they from

I have the same accent as my father and my grandfather. This man is Irish.
he looks like a guy I worked for. sounds like him too.
I'm from Mayo, I wouldn't call this a stereotypical accent. It reminds me of an English West Country accent. Bristol, Wiltshire, Cornwall etc.
This explains why the newfoundlanders fought so well in ww1
There are a few countries were people have Irish roots and strangely the Irish accent is some how is still there.
Most of those Newfoundlanders came from the South East of Ireland,Wexford ,Waterford, Carlow and Kilkenny.
People just still have the accent because they don't see anyone else. He does have a Canadian accent a little bit, I can hear it.
As someone from Mayo he sounds like all of us!!!😂
Wtf I'm the only Nick Murphy I've known til I saw this video, random af 🙈😂😂
