It's so interesting to see how Dr. Warren Maguire code-switches from his standard NI English (1:45 to 2:00) into rural Tyrone dialect and accent as he wanders around the country lanes of his Tyrone townland (2:45 to 3:21).
It was throughly annoying, especially on an upload about our dialect. He should be proud of his dialect and stop switching to RP
I'm from Brazil AND love so much Scotland,🏴🏴🏴
I have lived in Cookstown, County Tyrone,Northern Ireland. I had there Internship (all 1 year). For me was that best time ever with English. I really love that dialect. I miss that time, so I like to listening to remember on youtube dialect because I don't have chance to speak as I don't live in Northern Ireland (For me as I am from Bosnia ,we need Visa to visit Northern Ireland,UK(After 1 year in Northern Ireland, British accent was so easy for me to understand, when I was in London example. I remeber when My ex Manager in Northern Ireland in Company said to me: "If you can understand us, then you know English"
Here's a tip, don't call it British or the UK. It might upset some people 😂
The way he pronounced the word CAR, like CKYAR sounds like Jamaican and it’s easy to join those dots.
Being from way west of the Bann in North Fermanagh, I have to say that the Antrim/ Ulster Scots type accent absolutely grates on me. Harsh isn’t the word for it.
I'm from Glasgow and my partner is from NI we were visiting his family one time and this wee guy I was talking to part of the extended family started talking and I was like .WAT? You from Glasgow??? He laughed and said no..Larne.I could not get ma head around how his accent was so Scottish.😂my mind was blown 🏴❤️🏴
Legacy of the plantations
I mean Scotland did colonise Ulster
Wait til ya mate some wan fey Ballymena.....Kieran
@Charlie Munster Love it. I think you nailed it. Lol lol
God help that man being from Larne, it’s the tenth circle of hell that place
it was great how his accent changes when he was in his home area
Definitely right .. in min 7:14 I can’t understand most of things they’re saying
Absolutely brilliant I'm born n bred mid ulster I love the area the people and our wonderful dialect.
The richness of Ireland and the UK amazes me and although I left London for Aus 50 years ago I appreciate the richness of it more.
The accents are all amazing and I love to listen and soak it all up.
Me and my dad are Scottish, 61% of my DNA from Ulster and my dad is 72% DNA from Ulster with 39% of me Scottish and only 28% Scottish. I have red hair, green eyes! I’m so surprised I carry so much genetics that originate from Ireland, as me and my dad have both been born and raised in Scotland.
To hear the pattern pause points of emphasis in my grandfather's voice is a gift to me . After 60 years, a treasure.
It's got a lilt to it as well, the intonation, if you will. Beautiful. Thank you so much for this, from our ancestral homeland. (Well; one of our ancestral homelands!)
Reminds me of my year when I taught French in Enniskillen, Fermanagh. The dialect spoken there shared many features you can here in this part of Co. Tyrone (mostly the North of Fermanagh). I did record Catholics and Protestant students at the time (but in 1998, we only used cassettes and over time they degraded). It was very useful for me to kind of guess out what the accent was there in Enniskillen, but it appeared the accent may vary according to communities as well. Of all the English-speaking nations I stayed in or visited, Northern Ireland was the most difficult one for me. It took me 3 months to finally be able to understand a convo with local people. As of today, I still have problems to follow the locals, because back in France, I had to get back to RP English if I were to teach the language.
Thanks for that video.
They must have been very bad quality cassettes, because all audio tape I have, from 1960s reel to reel to 1990s cassette tape all plays very well. The oldest audio tape recording is now 60 years old.
I live in the South in the United States and many many of my ancestors hailed from Ulster in Northern Ireland, and immigrated to the Carolina’s and Virginia in the 1700’s.
Brilliant work
Brought up in tattykeel and around tattyreagh couple mile from fintona.
44 live in London now, best yes of my life
Around here in Letterkenny many folk speak the same Around the Laggan Valley area that Streathes from Letterkenny to Derry and from Lifford Strabane to Ballybofey Stranorlar.
Most of my relatives on both sides of the family would all speak in the dialect and of course some differences depending on the location within the Laggan Valley.
Interesting documentary
Thank you for this and uncleji actually made me want to look up what he was talking about. Great that found out and got educated about what bog turf is. Fossil fuel.. something like coal but one third the calorific burning power.
Sir (your father) has so much grace and the maturity of having lived a fulfilling life.. all with toil physical labour too.. and yet is more comfortable and hopefully healthier than we can ever be.. in our skin.
Love the countryside. I think l will be backpacking there next year. I have both British and Irish blood so l feel quite connected to the countryside.
My Donegal accent is close to Derry ulster is diverse as is Munster lie caster and Connaught parts is due to the planters etc….
Funny how this area where the settlers live is so flat and green it looks like the sea of green and the native irish on the poor land
I can hear the roots of the American Southern accents.
How ??
@@andykane439 I can, too. A lot of us have ancestors from NI. The first of my family to hit American shores was from this area. Get the really old folks talking and you can really hear the similarities. My great great uncle sounded a LOT like some of these old farmers.
That's where the hill billy name comes from
Scots Irish
American southern accents are a mix of Scots Irish and English influence. Particularly accents from Western and Southern England. They combined to form the basis of the different accents of the South
Wow. The accent to me is so adorable. If a girl talk to me in this test, no matter what she said I'd fall from the top to her even though I don't understand anything.
Love the way the older man said flowers.
I always get my partner to say how now brown cow 😂..love the NI accent.Yeah he's NI and lives here with me in Glasgow.Funny AF when he gets angry with drivers on the road.😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hillbilly road rage is hilarious I can't imagine NI road rage.
Totally different from the Sligo accent which is a relatively short distance away...
First 6 minutes: I got this
Last 2 minutes: I ain't got this
I like it but I wish the background music wasn't there as it intrudes on the music of the speech of the natives. Every dialect has a different 'music' that singles it out from other dialects.
Southern Americans will talk your ear off once they get to know you. My Irish ancestors come from Donegal & Antrim counties.
WTF this only has 10,000 views and frostbite boy has hundreds of millions
This is my history, I’m Druidic,Gaelic, from the Red Sea. The annals of ulster is really the annals of Senait, which is my name.
The macguires are old gaelic landowners frae Fermanagh, hirplin an auld Scots wird.
Can anyone describe how to pronounce the Ulster "ee" sound in seat, peat, wheat...etc? Thanks.
killing 1957
I'm afraid you're asking a great, but not easy-to-answer (maybe impossible) question. I'm from Fermanagh and it's different throughout the county. As an Irishman, I have to ask you, does that answer your question?
@@concong4183 thanks, con Cong. I came to that kind of conclusion a while back. I will have to visit Ireland some day and hear for myself.
Id love to find my grandads family. Him and my dad passed away. I'll visit one day I hope & find my family the McCoys.
ulster babyyyyy
warm regards from cold April Fox River valley, west of Chicago Illinois NORTH AMERICA.
Warm regards right back 😉
....i aussi la norvége
I am from Scotland, I don't hear much Scots dialect except for wee, aboot and tae, it sounds really Std. English with words that are unique to Ulster or maybe, it's Irish? "Harplin'" is not Scots or other English dialects.
You hear "Farm house" (std.English) then "Wee" (Scots dialect).
In my village in Scotland we would say "Fairm Hoose" (Scots dialect) not "Farm House" (std. English).
We wouldn't say "narrow up at the top" that's Std.English (definitely not Irish Gaelic), it would be "Narra up th' tap" in Scots dialect. "-ow" at the ends of words becomes a "-a" for example; Narra (Narrow), Yella (Yellow), Sparra (Sparrow), Fawla (Follow), Fella (Fellow) but Window is a "Windae" 🤔🤷. And "Yella" can also be "Yellae".
He says "other" (English) in Scots dialect we would say "ither" (Scots), "anither" (another), "thegither" (together).
He says "Big" (English), in Scots we would say "muckle". "Wheen" is few so is "mickle", "Sma" is small so is "Wee" and "tottie" is "gey wee" (very small), or in the north "peedie" is a little bit.
Bog is a Irish Gaelic word, I know that.
It must be a mix of English, Irish, uniquely Ulster words and a little Scots.
Muckle means a lot not big,
"It must be a mix of English, Irish, uniquely Ulster words and a little Scots."... That was clearly stated at the beginning of the video. This is also only one part of Tyrone being filmed. I'm born and rared in Strabane, Co. Tyrone and our town has been heavily influenced from Scotland. Yella, Fella, Narra, Windae, Aye, Crabbit, Ye hoor, Yer, Aff and loads more. Strabane was already filled Scottish before the Ulster plantation. Ye can go 15 mins of the road and they sound completely different though so it's hard to base much off off this one video. The whole of Ulster has trances of English, Scots and what's left of our native tounge.
Hirple, hirpling is a Scots word used where I am in eastern Scotland.
Adding a caption would be appropriate for this video series devoted to dialects... Naaa!
I can almost hear American midwestern in some of the pronunciation of some words
I can see how the American southern accent came from this
"Nice and creative Videos，I can see A lot of thought has been put into the content and editing of the video， This is really my favorite channel.:) .🌴🌴🌴excellent 👍👌👍👌👍 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 🌴🌴🌴 " Greenport Columbia 2021
It is such an exciting dialect! The Peaky Blinders made me look more into the Irish-North Irish dialects and though Sam Neill made good efforts and had an ok presentation of "Ulsterian", still makes me uncomfortable to hear him speak. Still superb performance anyway. Thank you for this video and the work you make!
My family originally hails from Antrim, my many greats grandfather & grandmother (surname Reed) emigrated to the US in the early 1700s & founded a town in Maine & the family was a pillar of the community. I’ve been able to trace my family history & know a fair bit about them, I know they were Ulster Scott’s, but not about their parents or the families they left behind in Antrim. I wish I knew how to research my ties there
:okay
okay
Real-life Skellige
McKinney
Nice accent
Wonder if anyone of those people have ever tried alcohol before
Pops sounds like Froto Bagans from Lord of The Rings
pour la temp-vigilance: c'est maintenant
Did he say Keyare...I came here by car.....
Yes and ‘kyept’ for ‘kept’. I’ve heard the phrase ‘Gyet in the cyar’ for ‘get in the car’ too but I think this odd y-insertion after a ‘g’, ‘k’ or ‘hard c’ is more often heard in Derry than Belfast, I’m not sure about Tyrone but watch ‘Derry Girls’ and you’ll hear it. I’m sure this must be why many West Indians talk like that too!
me who didn't realise we spoke a dialect 👁👄👁
Some would even say, language
theres west country english in there
It’s flatter .....with no sing e ness....
look up videos of appalachian accents, the similarities are mindblowing once you listen
Scary nuff with out a ghosyie
Eye ya heil a ghosyie..
Noh a rosah rhoahd
Eh tortorgue a rosah the toad
last time it was a draw
English is the best language, they all want to speak that.
Nah.
English is like a Frankensteins monster language

Mid Ulster dialect. LOL. Sounds like plain boring English with an accent to me.
Ulster is not linguistically diverse. The only language spoken there is English. To claim that having a Gaelic surname makes you a speaker of Irish is ridiculous.
no one said that idiot, the origins like
It's basically jus English.
What's your point?
@ That's it basically English, a dialect at most. It's still part of Ulster identity and I love hearing a familiar nordy accent when I'm abroad, but it's not a language like say Welsh or Gaelic. There's nothing wrong with that and it doesn't diminish it as part of the Ulster identity, but it's not a language.
@@MossyKong Thanks for the prompt reply. Nice point, I agree completely. But despite the title, did anyone claim it was a language? 🇪🇺🇮🇪🏴🏴
@ Yeah, it's been claimed before and it's mostly for stupid political reasons, which I am upset about. Doesn't matter which community you're from in NI, we can all be proud of our dialect, just as both communities can be proud of Gaelic.
I've been living away from Ulster a long time and I really have to say, I love hearing the accent whenever I can be.
@@MossyKong Me too, the longer I've lived in London, the more Ulster I feel. That's silly of people to claim that Mid-Ulster English is a separate language from English.
What has the history of a farmhouse got to do with dialect? It's as nonsensical as saying that Doric is a language in it's own right.
Creating something out of nothing is all that this is. Waste of my time and every other thinking person time.
Absolute tripe. Politicised lies.
