Douglas

How do you stick the Cork accent when you visit? What is your coping mechanism? It would drive a normal person ape

anon7035031 · September 10, 2019, 4:43pm

I never stay more than two days and try not to speak to the locals.

anon61878697 · September 10, 2019, 4:49pm

You should stay on tbe south side, near RoCo where i live… The accent is on the poor side of the city

anon7035031 · September 10, 2019, 4:51pm

I can’t tell the difference mate, it all sounds like another language to me.

anon61878697 · September 10, 2019, 4:53pm

A bit rich for a nogra to be slagging the carkies… Nogra talk through their teeth…

Anyway, ill bate the head off my kids if they start talking Cork

anon7035031 · September 10, 2019, 5:03pm

You better get her/them out of there soon so.

It’s well established that the best English is spoken in Galway.

anon61878697 · September 10, 2019, 5:09pm

Ah now… Regional accents are great… Bar Dublin/Belfast accents. Id prefer Cark over midlands tho…

All the cool kids speak with South Dublin accents now. Regional accents outside of Cork, Limerick Galway cities are largely dying out.

the_man_himself · September 10, 2019, 5:40pm

I think you are imagining this because you live in South Dublin mate.

A Galway county accent is much more recognisable than a Galway city accent also

TheUlteriorMotive · September 10, 2019, 5:41pm

Basing it on young people from all over starting work with us. Strong regional accents are not as prevalent anymore no matter where they come from. Certainly a lot of the flat regional accents are gone.

the_man_himself · September 10, 2019, 5:45pm

I think the difference there is that most people from Limerick, Cork, Galway City probably went to college in their own city while rural people obviously had to travel and live in different places for college so maybe picked up more neutral accents.

It’s not like the average lad in Banagher or Ardrahan or wherever is suddenly speaking with a neutral accent

TheUlteriorMotive · September 10, 2019, 5:46pm

Maybe that is it.

Social media and FaceTime influences it too I think as they want to sound like each other

This is sort of a related point about dialects

PhattPike · September 10, 2019, 5:52pm

It ain’t South Dublin mate, it’s Mid Atlantic.

TheUlteriorMotive · September 10, 2019, 5:55pm

The south Dublin accent is based off that. It’s an aspirational accent that is being widely adopted by people from all over Ireland.

Saoirse Ronan would be an example of a midlands lady with a So Co Du style accent.
