My niece (9) who lives in Blackrock with a Cork/Tipp parentage has a strong mid-atlantic accent. Not her fault, all the kids talk like that. Her Nenagh mother wants to be known as Mammy but she refuses to call her anything else but Maawm like the american kids 
Old Dutch and old English were almost one and the same.

If ever you wanted your kid to develop a mid Atlantic accent, it’s when the alternative is Cork.

East Cork is different, lad
How do you know?
I suppose I dont know for certain … on paper it was almost identical anyway and they share the same genealogy. After a google of something or other a few weeks back I ended up falling down an e-rabbit hole for 5 hours reading about the etymology of Frisian/Frank/Germanic languages

You’ve too much time on your hands.
Fellas from the City will never lose their accent because they are around so many people with it, rural and isolated lads who’s only company is the telly and the weird lad from down the road will get the generic D4/Mid Atlantic yoke, same for impressionable lads from towns
I think the opposite of that is true. People from affluent backgrounds in cities/towns/suburbs are most likely to not have a local accent I’d say. I train young lads and they all sound as rural as we ever did
there aren’t many from affluent backgrounds in the cities and suburbs fella. Mayfield, Southill, Ballymun etc, these City accents will never go away
