I think that these programs would be enhanced with more sentences. Because sometimes the single word sounds pretty close despite the accent, but once you add the complexity of full sentences it gets more unique, interesting, and diverse.
I agree. I think they should ask each person to come up with a sentence to showcase their own accents. Also some terms are different in each country. Also i don't think saying a famous name tells much because you would be trying to copy the original pronunciation eg. Arnold schwarzenegger would be pronounce the American way i think but if you asked an Austrian to say that name before he was famous it would sound totally different, i think.
I KNOW SEE! I just commented “This just showed me how NOT different we all are. Like THESE accents always sounded SOOOO different to me. But if you break them down word by word it’s like not as big of a difference than I thought”
Agree. I'm appalling at identifying accents. I can't tell the difference between Australian and New Zealand, and US and Canadian. It's mainly when I can hear the vowel differences side by side that I can tell the difference.
My accent isn't as mild as hers, but people have often assumed I was American or Canadian after hearing me speak, even though I've lived in Ireland for as long as I can remember
I love these videos, can you all please do a bit longer videos but it is just fine like this too, other than that, amazing lightning, genuine personalities, gorgeous people and overall high quality videos!
I'm Irish but the Irish girl in this video sounds so Americanised it's strange. Don't know many people who speak like her, maybe not he best person to use a comparison :')
Depending who you're around, the accent either intensifies or decreases. With my family, my accent is stronger but when I'm home in Scotland, it's more subtle. And it changes when I talk to Americans or Canadians!
@@proudkiwi7641 Perhaps to your Kiwi ear it may sound like sax but to everyone else it sounds like sex which is why they were shocked upon hearing the word said by the Kiwi guy.
As a fellow New Zealander I feel like our accent comes from the incorporation of the Maori vowels as the standard way of pronouncing anything, and then a fairly even split in influence between British, American and even Australian media and entertainment to round out the sound. If you go back a few generations it sounded a lot more British so it’s definitely evolving quite rapidly.
Typical NZ i (U) is not like Maori i (ee). Look up the second great vowel shift (NZ). It's quite unique to New Zealand. It's not really just merging other countries accents. (I'm a kiwi expat who studied Applied Linguistics and teaches English).
As a Brit that's lived in NZ for 30 years, I still can't get my head around the Kiwi accents (there are several). I can mimic/exaggerate many english accents but not Kiwi english.
@@anndeecosita3586 Yeah, in Australia whenever we happened to have a New Zealand teacher in school, you can bet the fun we had as kids trying to get them to say that number in maths class! Endless amusement. Childish but hey, we were children! All in good fun though, we love our Kiwi neighbours... except when we play them in sport!
To be honest, Dylan doesn't even really have that thick an NZ accent. In the thickest variants, literally every vowel is different from standard English English. The 'i's in fish almost rhymes with how you'd say rush in Standard English etc... It's one of the more interesting accents. Wonder what the US and UK girl would think of a South African accent, specifically one of the real Afrikaans type accents...
Conversely, the Aussie guy had a really mellow Aussie accent, almost undetectable from the other guy's mellow NZ accent. If they had someone who had a thick Aussie accent, it would be more discernible. Like their exaggerated O and I sounds which this dude did not have.
Are you from NZ? He had an algood accent to me. Usually, the people that describe NZers as "Fush" are non-Nzers lol. Fush origins from an accent like Korg on Thor. It's more a representation of Maori or the lower socioeconomic communities. Dylan was algood though, he had a well-rounded accent.
It's nice to see people from different countries and continents talking with each other with the same language , but with differences between each country
@@pashaw8380South Africa isn’t really a native speaking English country. They mostly speak it as a second language and for government and communicating with each other
I was born and raised in California and I have to say that Eimear from Ireland's relaxed cadence sounded very much how Californians speak. It was startling how similar the rhythm of her speech is to what I grew up with. Still an Irish accent, mind you, but it still made my ears perk up!
As someone from Ireland, I honestly would have thought she was American if I didnt know she was Irish. Nowhere I know of in Ireland has that accent. There's some features that are definitely still Irish like how she said 'farm'. Some people (particularly some teenage girls and young women) in Ireland have started to talk with these 'americanised' accents. I'd say if you heard someone else from where she's from they would sound completely different but idk
@@dcmastermindfirst9418 Kinda, but less than you'd think. The current Irish accent is essentially an 1800s English home counties accent. Obviously not perfectly so, but I could travel back in time two centuries and my accent wouldn't be the thing that would make me stand out. Now, it's around that time that English managed to get a foothold in Ireland, and also when that's around when the North America started getting a solid influx of immigrants. How your founding fathers would've sounded is something half way between an English West Country accent and a relatively neutral Irish accent. Ireland had a massive cultural impact on the US, including linguistically, but I think it's best not to overemphasise historical coincidences!
Sorry but the Irish girl doesn't have an Irish accent at all. No one in Ireland would pronounce "Peter Parker" that way, havent finished the video yet but it's a shame, Irish accents are very distinct.
I had a US Customs guy say to me about my accent "not from the UK and not Australian, can't quite pin point where you're from". I just told him thanks for not calling me an Aussie, I'm from New Zealand
The video was great , funny and enjoyable as usually is , but i would love to see Grace 🇭🇲 again talking with all these five , the chemistry would be great
Get a northern Irish guy it will be shocking to see the difference between Irish and northern Irish and then compared to other accents thank me later for the idea
She said in another video that she lived in Ireland here whole before now. Maybe she just has a different accent. There are some Americans who are native born who you would think were foreigners. Geechie people from the Low Country for example sound more Caribbean.
She's probably from Dublin 4. If they'd gotten someone from Kerry or Donegal or even Galway, her accent would be much more distinguishable from both American and English accents.
I love hearing people with accents and I think the difference in each word would be less similar if the participants had stronger accents. I've heard Irish people speaking where it was difficult to understand them.
All of you have similar accent but also have a little bit differences...,,, Its interesting for me to hear those 5 accents. Australian and New Zealand's accent are really good to listen for me.
I had clients from the US, UK, visited Australia and New Zealand. The only thing (to me) is the American and New Zealand's accent are the easiest to catch. The British (from London) and Australian accents took another few seconds more because they tend to speak a little faster. That's my experience, i could be wrong. But I am glad they could understand my Singlish from Singapore. Lol. Good video!
I have always thought that the Irish influenced American pronunciation more than people typically recognize. After this video, I think that even more. The one that really comes across as similar is Peter Parker. The T and R sounds between the two countries are definitely similar.
The Irish definitely did influence American pronunciation, but in this case I think its more just she speaks with an americanised accent. If I didn't know was from Ireland I would've thought she was American
Honestly as an Irish person, the girl in this video's accent is quite Americanised. She's not a great example of how the majority of us speak, it's actually a little odd.
I went to job Corp in California with a Maori "fulla" in the late 80s...at first I thought he was Australian because of the Paul Hogan ( crocodile Dundee) movies I saw as a kid but he corrected me jokingly and explained that he was in fact a kiwi....he had the coolest accent and could strum the hell out of an acoustic..
That was interesting! Christina, when you said 'bowl' it reminded me of the time that I was speaking to a friend from Colorado, whose name was Paul. At a given moment, he said, "My name's not Pole, like an electricity pole. It's Pohl!" I was pronouncing it 'Pawl' which is standard U.K. pronunciation, I think.
Just like every country Ireland has soft variations and tones and extremes all across the country. You couldn't say a Texan sounds like a New Yorker but the are but American. Even though it's a small island, the accents in Ireland vary greatly. None more or less typical than another. I will say though, in the last 10 to 15 years a lot of very young people are starting to sound more American, which is probably the same worldwide, ie we never use the word candy (sweets) but I have heard several kids say it recently.
I felt like she wasn't comfortable enough to speak with her full accent. The times she sounded more irish, some people on the video remarked too much and not in a really kind way. But perhaps it's just my perception
Differences in accents reflect the cultural history of different people. These differences in pronunciation reflect differences in the cultural history, and thus language, spoken by our peers when we learn to speak. 😄😄😄 Some national accents reflect regional accents from other countries.
Dylan was a good representative of Kiwis: real chill and laid-back. Also, 'six' in NZ English sounds like 'sucks' to Aussies (Aussie 'six' sounds like 'seeks' to us) and 'sex' to a lot of places. I remember telling clients in the UK that we would be having 'six sessions' which was met with bewildered stares
Wow, yeah, Dylan is about as Kiwi as you can get. Not just the accent but even the way he carries himself. One thing that this video doesn't showcase very well, though, is that a lot of the Kiwi accent is imposed or emphasised by the speed at which New Zealanders speak, so when saying words in isolation like this, they'll come out a lot more clearly and less accented than they actually would in a normal sentence.
Considering, how they laughed, when the NZ guy said "six". What would they do, if they heard him say "deck". Funny, how it's the other way round with those 2 words.
Yay. Finally a comparison with a Nu Zilund ax-ent. I liked it when you replayed the single words one after the other, like you did with egg and wished you had done that with each new word as it made it easier to hear the differences and that there had been a few more sentences as, there is a tendency to enunciate single words and that may not be the most accurate representation of the accent. 😊
Irish girl has very soft Irish accent. I’ve been to Northern Ireland last week what I’ve heard there is different from how the girl spoke in this video :)
@@Etherus69 real irish accent my hole, im from the north in south armagh near dundalk, not everyone in the north sounds like their from belfast buddy. i meet ones from dublin everyday at work, and sometimes they dont even sound irish too me but mild irish accent too, them ones from dublin could barely understand a word i was saying.
Did the girl from Ireland live in the US or something cause she sounds completely American, coming from an Irish person, definitely need to find someone with a more true Irish accent, only real Irish sounding word she said was farm
That's the ironic thing I'm irish myself and lots of other irish people in the comments have been saying the irish girl sounded a bit American or at least didn't sound irish
Id say that the kiwi guys accent is mild like the way he said egg was similar to everyone else but in reality our Es sound like Is to the rest of the world and it should have sounded more like iig. Then again they all have mild accents for their respective countries. Especially the Irish girl can't even tell she's Irish
I loved this! However, could I ask that you include African English if you do a similar episode in the future. I think having a Zimbabwean or South African guest would add another level of insight. Films such as Black Panther have recently shone a spotlight on it and celebrities such as Trevor Noah and Danai Gurira are examples of Africans in the mainstream that grew up speaking English that many have been exposed to.
I like all the different countries represented but there wasn't a whole lot of variation between the accents and the words/phrases. They should've at least had the phrase "up above". They could probably really bring out the Irish and maybe even kiwi accent with that. 😂
As an Irish person I don’t think the Irish girl was a great representation since she didn’t say a lot of the words like most of us Irish people people would. She sounded nearly American!
Dylan's accent isn't very strong. He said "new zillund" at the beginning, but I've heard a lot of Kiwis pronounce it as "new zullund". He also seemed to pronounce the "i" in milk, so I'm guessing that he might be from the south Island not Auckland. Get an Aucklander to say "fill the tin with milk from the chilly bin" and see how it sounds. By the way, "chilly bin" is Kiwi for esky or cooler. You really need whole sentences to hear the differences in stress and especially vowels.
This is interesting. I was born in NZ to an Irish parent and as a child I lived in NZ, Ireland, Australia and now live in England. I actually have a mixture of all 4 accents!
From the Oz point of view - all vowels in the NZ accent are shifted one to the right until they disappear entirely. ie: a = e ('bag' == 'beg') = i ('peg' == 'pig') = uh (as in 'chip' == 'chup') and from then on, and even at that point, the vowels ('o' and 'u') just disappear into a non-distinctive 'uh' or just sort of a gap, as in "Pl'z G've mi a beg o' ch'ps".
Towards the end of the 19th century famine in Ireland led to massive emigration to the USA, most likely carrying pronunciation with it. Well over a quarter of the entire Irish population went there.
Before the War for American Independence, British accents were similar to Irish. Not the same, but similar. Then after the War, much Britain changed their accents fairly drastically. I am guessing that that is why people from places like the United States, Canada, Jamaica, and Barbados speak English in a certain general manner, while people from places like Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa speak English in another general manner. English became a major language in the former group of countries before that switch, while it became a major language in the latter group after that switch. This does not explain everything, of course, and there are many countries where this does not apply at all.
@@AT-rr2xwComplicating the situation, prior to 1783, the majority language in Ireland was Irish Gaelic (with a phonology strikingly different from English), though it was being suppressed to be replaced by English as a matter of policy. The few English speakers in Ireland at the time were the aristocracy, landlords and English incomers, with the rural poor (the subsequent emigrants) rarely having more than a word or two of English. Flann O'Brien's book "The Poor Mouth / An Béal Bocht" is a scathing parody of the life of the starving Gaels. There are youtube videos to be found outlining the influence of Irish on the Jamaican accent, so the effect is undoubted.
That's just her. Irish accents are very distinguishable and share most in common with Scottish accents (in my opinion) while still sounding completely separate from them. She sounds like an American to me so I'd say she's just been influenced by US media
@@abcdefg5625 One of the actress of Harry Potter who played Luna Lovegood is also Irish. And she shounds exactly the same like this Irish girl here. Also there is Conor Mcgregor who sounds exactly like the other Harry Potter character Seamus. And two accents are completely different. First one is heavily influenced by American and the second one is the pure Irish accent I guess. And If you watch Chef Gordon Ramsay he definitely sounds like English not like Scottish though he lived there for many years.And you can see footballer Andrew Robertson who has pure Scottish accent. This channel is choosing incorrect person on this, I saw it on another episode they brought in a scottish girl who barely has scottish accent and now this Irish girl who completely sounds like an American.
I think that these programs would be enhanced with more sentences. Because sometimes the single word sounds pretty close despite the accent, but once you add the complexity of full sentences it gets more unique, interesting, and diverse.

There are many different accents in the UK that sound different, In the south west of England they pronounce the letter 'R'.
yeah
Just like they should. As do Scotland. There’s a reason it’s an R and not a H.
Same in the US and I assume the other countries as well maybe not as big of an extent. Like I have a Philadelphian accent.

I will say though, in the last 10 to 15 years a lot of very young people are starting to sound more American, which is probably the same worldwide, ie we never use the word candy (sweets) but I have heard several kids say it recently.
I felt like she wasn't comfortable enough to speak with her full accent. The times she sounded more irish, some people on the video remarked too much and not in a really kind way. But perhaps it's just my perception
Differences in accents reflect the cultural history of different people. These differences in pronunciation reflect differences in the cultural history, and thus language, spoken by our peers when we learn to speak. 😄😄😄 Some national accents reflect regional accents from other countries.
Dylan was a good representative of Kiwis: real chill and laid-back.
Also, 'six' in NZ English sounds like 'sucks' to Aussies (Aussie 'six' sounds like 'seeks' to us) and 'sex' to a lot of places. I remember telling clients in the UK that we would be having 'six sessions' which was met with bewildered stares
It's so nice seeing people from different countries
When they said it is a good day for New Zealanders that made me proud . 🇳🇿
Wow, yeah, Dylan is about as Kiwi as you can get. Not just the accent but even the way he carries himself. One thing that this video doesn't showcase very well, though, is that a lot of the Kiwi accent is imposed or emphasised by the speed at which New Zealanders speak, so when saying words in isolation like this, they'll come out a lot more clearly and less accented than they actually would in a normal sentence.
You've got that exactly right! We are quite fast speakers and words can sort of blur together!
This was a good group - fun with all the different countries, but also that they had good chemistry with each other
Considering, how they laughed, when the NZ guy said "six".
What would they do, if they heard him say "deck".
Funny, how it's the other way round with those 2 words.
Christina and Lauren are best combo. I like that Christina points out that different parts of the US say things differently.
Yay. Finally a comparison with a Nu Zilund ax-ent. I liked it when you replayed the single words one after the other, like you did with egg and wished you had done that with each new word as it made it easier to hear the differences and that there had been a few more sentences as, there is a tendency to enunciate single words and that may not be the most accurate representation of the accent. 😊
Irish girl has very soft Irish accent. I’ve been to Northern Ireland last week what I’ve heard there is different from how the girl spoke in this video :)
Because she’s Irish not northern Irish
Northern Ireland is the UK buddy, go to Dublin and you'll hear a real Irish accent
@@Etherus69 real irish accent my hole, im from the north in south armagh near dundalk, not everyone in the north sounds like their from belfast buddy. i meet ones from dublin everyday at work, and sometimes they dont even sound irish too me but mild irish accent too, them ones from dublin could barely understand a word i was saying.
@@Etherus69 lol no one would call Dublin real Ireland
@@TheMagicJIZZLongford, the heart of Ireland and the heart of misery.
Was really Gooood !!! Cheers from México 🇲🇽
Did the girl from Ireland live in the US or something cause she sounds completely American, coming from an Irish person, definitely need to find someone with a more true Irish accent, only real Irish sounding word she said was farm
Yes she's not a good representation
as a kiwi Irish and scottish have the best accents for me.
Its a good day for New Zealand🤣
Me: *see the news about lockdown again for the 5th times* awwee somedays🤦♀️🤣 but proudish kiwi here🙋♀️
Me living in NZ for 14 years and testing how "kiwi" I sound 😂😂

I love Irish accent because it sounds very friendly and happy. Greetings from Chile!
That's the ironic thing I'm irish myself and lots of other irish people in the comments have been saying the irish girl sounded a bit American or at least didn't sound irish
@@keithcosgrave9416 she does sound a bit American
I fucking love the echoes after every single word hahaha. Christina and Lauren are just having a blast there.
New Zealand really have the best punctual accent
Cheers.
I agree about NZ and Boston. I heard that as long ago as the 1970s
Id say that the kiwi guys accent is mild like the way he said egg was similar to everyone else but in reality our Es sound like Is to the rest of the world and it should have sounded more like iig. Then again they all have mild accents for their respective countries. Especially the Irish girl can't even tell she's Irish
From an Irish perspective, she sounds like she's from close to Dublin, but has picked up a _lot_ of Americanisms. This isn't atypical these days.
I thought the same
New Zealand guy's attitude like a bad boy 🤣🤣🤣 seems like he wouldn't want to be there 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I loved this! However, could I ask that you include African English if you do a similar episode in the future. I think having a Zimbabwean or South African guest would add another level of insight. Films such as Black Panther have recently shone a spotlight on it and celebrities such as Trevor Noah and Danai Gurira are examples of Africans in the mainstream that grew up speaking English that many have been exposed to.
I think they have another video with a south African.
@@villainapologist Found it! Thanks.
That was remarkable as always guys! and I am really happy you invited a new friends from other english-native countries 🙏👏👏👏👏
These girls are just thirsty for the NZ guy
The Nu Zulland Guy ?
Adorable!! I really enjoyed
I like all the different countries represented but there wasn't a whole lot of variation between the accents and the words/phrases. They should've at least had the phrase "up above". They could probably really bring out the Irish and maybe even kiwi accent with that. 😂
As an Irish person I don’t think the Irish girl was a great representation since she didn’t say a lot of the words like most of us Irish people people would. She sounded nearly American!
That's an internet accent .
@@merrybutcher2978 what?
@@youreashoe5370 By being so much on social media they develop an accent different than what was spoken in their locality.
@@merrybutcher2978 ohhhh thanks
This New Zealand guy could come here and teach me how to say "six" properly.
If you think Kiwis sound strange saying "six," you should hear the Scottish!
My friend moved to New Zealand from the uk a year ago and she has a lot of trouble telling our I and e apart
Dylan's accent isn't very strong. He said "new zillund" at the beginning, but I've heard a lot of Kiwis pronounce it as "new zullund". He also seemed to pronounce the "i" in milk, so I'm guessing that he might be from the south Island not Auckland. Get an Aucklander to say "fill the tin with milk from the chilly bin" and see how it sounds. By the way, "chilly bin" is Kiwi for esky or cooler. You really need whole sentences to hear the differences in stress and especially vowels.
Foll the tun with Mulk frum the chilly bun
Please More Video Like This, More People, More Fun 😂. And Please Add Indian Accent And Indonesian Accent Of English. I think it will be fun 🙌🤣
i always wanted the english accents collab! now it's here!!!!!
Lol they forgot to bring Canada 🇨🇦.
Oh well, mayne nxt time
This is interesting. I was born in NZ to an Irish parent and as a child I lived in NZ, Ireland, Australia and now live in England. I actually have a mixture of all 4 accents!
We need Scotland for the next episode.
From the Oz point of view - all vowels in the NZ accent are shifted one to the right until they disappear entirely. ie: a = e ('bag' == 'beg') = i ('peg' == 'pig') = uh (as in 'chip' == 'chup') and from then on, and even at that point, the vowels ('o' and 'u') just disappear into a non-distinctive 'uh' or just sort of a gap, as in "Pl'z G've mi a beg o' ch'ps".
🇳🇿 🇳🇿 🇳🇿
Hilarious I had to zoom in to the emoji to work out if you were presenting NZ or AU. Whoo hooo fellow kiwi.
They used a South Islander, most Kiwis don't actually talk like that
I don't know how the Republic Of Ireland is more similar to the USA rather than the UK.
Towards the end of the 19th century famine in Ireland led to massive emigration to the USA, most likely carrying pronunciation with it. Well over a quarter of the entire Irish population went there.
Before the War for American Independence, British accents were similar to Irish. Not the same, but similar. Then after the War, much Britain changed their accents fairly drastically. I am guessing that that is why people from places like the United States, Canada, Jamaica, and Barbados speak English in a certain general manner, while people from places like Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa speak English in another general manner. English became a major language in the former group of countries before that switch, while it became a major language in the latter group after that switch. This does not explain everything, of course, and there are many countries where this does not apply at all.
@@AT-rr2xwComplicating the situation, prior to 1783, the majority language in Ireland was Irish Gaelic (with a phonology strikingly different from English), though it was being suppressed to be replaced by English as a matter of policy. The few English speakers in Ireland at the time were the aristocracy, landlords and English incomers, with the rural poor (the subsequent emigrants) rarely having more than a word or two of English. Flann O'Brien's book "The Poor Mouth / An Béal Bocht" is a scathing parody of the life of the starving Gaels.
There are youtube videos to be found outlining the influence of Irish on the Jamaican accent, so the effect is undoubted.
That's just her. Irish accents are very distinguishable and share most in common with Scottish accents (in my opinion) while still sounding completely separate from them. She sounds like an American to me so I'd say she's just been influenced by US media
@@abcdefg5625 One of the actress of Harry Potter who played Luna Lovegood is also Irish.
And she shounds exactly the same like this Irish girl here.
Also there is Conor Mcgregor who sounds exactly like the other Harry Potter character Seamus.
And two accents are completely different. First one is heavily influenced by American and the second one is the pure Irish accent I guess.
And If you watch Chef Gordon Ramsay he definitely sounds like English not like Scottish though he lived there for many years.And you can see footballer Andrew Robertson who has pure Scottish accent.
This channel is choosing incorrect person on this, I saw it on another episode they brought in a scottish girl who barely has scottish accent and now this Irish girl who completely sounds like an American.
Thank you New Zealand!!
The Kiwi guy is oozing with testosterone.
Yeah right? He's so assertive and has style
Is no one going to talk about how everyone was being charmed by the New Zealand representative
I sometimes find a kiwi accent similar to a South African Afrikaans type accent.
Dylan is sooooo charmimg !!!
Oh omg
