Im from Ireland and this was very good,I didnt think irish ppl had much of an accent BUT now I know how to do scottish! thats another accent I can add to my list!
Just for the record we dont always sound puzzled... i don't say wert for word and an irish r is very different from an american one... i think that its considered a pretty hard r just not as hard as some of the dialects in scottland even some english (and some irish) accents tap there r's. also i do not say oirish instead of irish... youve got that all arseways its actually the other way round for my particular dialect... instead of oi its aye...ive also heard ppl say arland instead of irieland
I think it was Scottish comedian Ross Noble who said, the way you tell Irish from Scottish accent is that no matter what an Irishman says, it always sounds like, "Diddly-dee potatoes!"
@JBofBrisbane Aye, it was Danny Bhoy who said that. But (as far as I understood) he didnae claim that no matter what the Irish said, it came out like that. It was merely used as an example of an Irish accent. BTW, the video where he said so, can be found on youtube.
Ah this helped so much! I've got a character in my novel (how cliche is that to say, eh?) and I've been doing pounds of research on the Irish accent and most recently watched Brave Heart where I heard the Scottish. I've mostly looked up common sayings and sentence structures. It'll be hard to memorize, but I think now that I've got a clear idea of how the two of them are different (similar to the confusion between japanese and Chinese) this will help me really hear the dialect of the accent!
your talking pish man if you want to no the different we scots sound if we are shouting or arguing when we speak we say by the way at the end aw no wit eff off and away and take yer heed for a shite man ..alba gu brath
@kentonjkobza Not all Scottish is hard. There are so many types of Scots accent. Your thinking of a Glasgow one. I was born in Paisley in Scotland and have a very soft accent much like Ewan Mcgregor.
Im Irish, & I love the scottish accent to bits, but im not sure i get the idea of a scottsman saying that the irish accent sounds angry & puzzled. A case of the kettle & pot me thinks. PS, scotts women ROCK!!!!!!!
im being critical and honest and misbehaving is something different, im contributing to your critique of the languages, which can help bring more light to the topic, for the thousands of viewers of this sight, no need to be personal, just giving an opinion
oh and we say bether for better as well, the only place in ireland that uses the oi sound as in loike is in the east (mostly dublin) as regards the tone of the irish accent, it differs alot from region to region, scottish (although differs alot from region to region) has mostly the same question, raised voice ending, many irish accents go up and down throgh the sentence and the 'angry, puzzled' tone is a bad cliché, derived from bad movies about the country...
what he said about the irish accent is almost all wrong, ill give this guy credit for the soft t sound but the rest, forget it. There are so many accents and dialects in ireland, im from the west of ireland, many people roll the r here and the tone rises and falls all of the time, the placing of a h in words is hollywood leipreachan talk, not reality!sorry but its too general to say the irish accent is like this, yes its a really small country but the languistic vaeieties are massive!
@niallo301 I don't need CREDIT, mate, it's just what I HEAR about your accent. Not any other intention and most of all I'm not willing to sound like THE BIBLE for the differences between Scots and Irish accents...
Can't you accept this, at least?
Bring your own contribution to the topic, it's all right, but please, behave...............
I think it was pretty good, the only thing that gave you away was the sh in your sentences. If you lived here in america i think you would live kinda where i do. i live in northwest arkansas. NO I do not have a hick accent (only sometimes if im around others who do lol) you dont sound like im from the east or west coast or even up north or down south, right in the middle :]
@sydneychopper Well, you could have a point: go and check my other video "How a Scotsman copes with an American accent"... people keep telling me I sound Midland, in fact, some say more Midwest-Inland North, others notice I could fit into the Southern Midlands, hence, I'd be right where you are. :-)
@rammsteingod666 Aye, the 'l's are quite the same, really! And yes, the 'melody' in the Northern Irish accent is quite far from Ireland, tending towards Scotland, and... well, if you don't get through the mining valleys so deeply... aye, it could be similar to Wales. :-)
The valleys have their own UNIQUE style, it must be said... they sometimes sound like Russians speaking English tae me!!! :-)
@rammsteingod666 Well, I can actually tell you lads from up there easily from the 'other' Irish and us Scots. Yer "ay"s are far more extreme compared to ours, you stretch them much longer and make it sound a bit like "ay-uh"s, am I wrong? It's a bit like the Geordies do.
Apart from that, I still reckon a Northern Irish accent as being more Irish than Scottish. :-)
@SHABLABADINGDONG15 Er... a Scottish town now standing in Northumberland... their accent is a perfect melt between a Scottish accent and an English one. :-)
@sydneychopper Both of them? Well... as far as I'm concerned French can be sexy, some English accents might be, the sweeter they are the sexier they go, but... come on... could a Scottish accent ever be sexy??? :-)
Nae........ it's fierce and proud, as funny as it is also seriously meant tae be, nae way I'd ever change it, but... sexy???
As for the Irish lot, I won't dare say a word, they'd keep slagging me down as some of them have done up until here! :-p
@220773 yeah, thats why, im part scottish and irish, but i never hear the accent here in america. its something different. the accent is manly and sounds like it rolls off the tongue. I love iiittt!!
@SuperGreenbone Er... didn't I do that? Ah, you mean... nae mirror, aye? Neverrrrrr!!! I need tae check oot how I'm coping wi' it!!!!!!!!!!! :-)
And, well, if I reversed that camera in front of me, I might place it badly and get out of focus, so, in order to be certain it's all workin' oot as it should I'll use a mirror... no charisma included, really, it's just technical devices. :-)
@SuperGreenbone and also, I thought I read it somewhere in the comments (tired to look for it) that you're not going to reply anymore so I was surprised when I saw your reply... cheers mate :)

Lads and lasses, after two years of (mostly) offences and awkward comments, I am now telling you it is COMPLETELY USELESS for you to keep commenting on here, because I WON'T CHECK ANY OF YOUR REPLIES ANY LONGER.
I'm sorry, for those of you who have been polite here, as for the rest all I can say is that I have discovered how deep the Catholic/Protestant and Irish/British divide still is: I knew SOME had problems such as those, I didn't think they were such a sheer majority. (continues)
@220773 I still think that the day the Irish and the British will respect each other's nationalities up there in Northern Ireland, rather than keeping on thinking the Irish has to deny some people the right to be British and VICEVERSA (so don't dare distort my thought now), well, this stupid thing will be sorted out.

Now do as you please, I'M CALLING MYSELF OFF AND KEEPING THIS VIDEO FOR THOSE WHO APPRECIATE ONLY. All the rest should do better go elsewhere and keep their anger for some other wee petty stupid affair. No more replies, I'm sorry. Bye.
@97kcoats Nobody would like to sound like other fellow citizens sound like, come on... I'd never wannae sound like Edinburghers, i.e.
But I bet yer accent wouldnae make me cringe at all, ye ken... it's a matter of... class. Got it, mate? Cringing's nae good, it does nae good at all, it only shows how low you're able to fly... hope you'll get a better living.
I'm from Dublin but I go to Scotland every year and they seem to think I am from Northern Ireland and of course their accent is very different from a Dublin one but it can't get a bit annoying
I'm glad we Americans don't have all these rivalries like over there in the isles, it's very ni- .... You God damned Canadians shut you FUCKIN' mouth!
As far as I'm concerned, Scottish and Irish are brothers and sisters!! Yes our accents are very different, but their close enough!! Like a lot of Scottish I have a huge part of my family from and still in Ireland! slàinte mhath and Slainte.
@MeegsRocha Go tell 'em, mate... they seem to love fighting over here, they all made me go mad, no-one ever can be slagged just because he's a proddie or a Gers fan or the other way round. Go tell 'em... a normal rivalry is just rivalry, it's like the Auld Firm, the rest is simply INHUMAN.
@rhealy1926 Ok, keep on fighting fae Ireland, lad, good job, really, the whole world's clapping hands to you... CAN'T YOU SEE HOW RIDICULOUS ALL THIS FIGHTING'S ALL ABOUT???????
It's just a FUCKING UNOFFENSIVE VIDEO, STICK IT IN YER MIND!!!!!!!!
You Irish are TOUCHY. This is what you make me think by saying so... but I KNOW THAT NOT ANY IRISHMAN'S TOUCHY AT ALL, luckily.
If you have ever seen Alice in Wonderland , (as in the new version with Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska) When the Hatter gets mad, and also when they are walking in the woods with Alice on his hat, he is talking with a SCOTTISH accent. If you've ever seen Titanic (w/ Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) the red headed mom w/ 2 children is speaking with an IRISH accent. Hope the movie refrences help!!:)
Sorry to answer to you so late, but the other nasties over here slagging the video 'fae Ireland's sake' or 'England's sake' made me go VOMITING IN THE LOO, hope they'll stop it as soon as possible, this is year 2011, they'd better realise this.
im irish an dis doesnt bother me 1 bit ur only giving ur opinion on how us irish sound and u actually kinda did sound irish when ya said words like an irish fella would say them, but there is other people on youtube who do it just to make fun of the irish and some of them are making more a fool of themselfs then the irish language !!!
I have to say as an America there are people in America who can't tell the difference between accents, but that doesn't mean we all can't. There are some very stupid and ignorant people in the states just as there are in any other place in the world. I just hope that people reading this who have had their accents confused don't take it out on the rest of America because a couple of douches forgot that there are other countries on the planet. And finally GO SCOTLAND & IRELAND!
I got asked if I was Irish quite a lot when I was working in the states. I can see the similarity's, but Irish sing their words a little bit more. It's easy for a Scottish person to say words in an Irish accent when abroad as we need to try and not over pronounce our "R's" to be understood.
Im from the western Ireland, now we do, especially in west Ireland use H's as said but it depends on the accent as we have a number of varying regional accents throughout the island with various dialects, slang, colloquialisms and the harsher sounds of Irish which grants us a harsh sound e.g. we dont pronounce the 'g' in ing and our R is harsh, the english pronounce it like 'are' but ours is like 'oar', t's are 'ch' like tune=choon and many more like having a melody sound like in the South west.
@Sconez10 I don't think many countries really pronounce "Ing", unless you're being proper, every English speaking country does not pronounce "Ing", instead an "In"
@memamamonkey That is sooooooo true! As an American I LOOOOOVE ACCENTS and everybody I know think that having any type of accent already puts you up 10% on the hotness scale. Especially people who are British.
Irish people do not speak or sound like that at all and I have lived in several different parts of Ireland. All with different accents, may I add, not just a general one! Stick to your own accent, its probably the only one you can actually do properly
No we dont put "H" in every word u cant do a good irish accent ...hb get a real irishman to do it nd im frm south armagh nd iv never heard an irish person talk like that ur getin the accents mixed up
@Gam3Junkie Careful how you phrase that. When you say "the rest of the brits", a lot of people will complain about you saying Ireland is part of Britain or whatever you know?
@Avera9eWh1teShark6 Yeah I know that :), but not the Republic :). Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland are seperate countries even though we're on the same island, different currency, different post boxes etc.
Your mixin up irish words..cos there is not just 1 irish accent there is many..1 min you sound like your doin an north irish accent and the next you sound like a sheep shagger which is someone from the country..so you can't just say its an irish accent cos we don't all sound the same
i do luv the scot accent tho :P
put jaysus yours is deep like feckin ian paisley lol
no us irish dont put h's in our words..you cant talk like us properly lol man your only across the water you can do better than that.. i love the scottish accent though. always have.. i love the new UK Gillette Fusion ProGlide advert - 'Invasion' with the pakistani scottish guy..jutst love the accent
I suggest that you get an Irish for the next video to do the Irish part. If my gf would speak with such an accent like you are trying to demonstrate, I'm afraid our communication would become impossible. I fail to recognise anything Irish in what you show. I guess we aren't frequenting the same Irish. You don't make me think about those few from north that I met neither those I know from movies.
I have an Irish accent (it's not strong because I'm half British) but everyone always says my voice sounds like music, when I go travelling especially. There is a melody to it at the end of what we say. It's like a song...(as I am told and have noticed from being told this soooo so often).
When I was in canada many ppl said Irish people have the most melodic accent of all....just saying based off of what other people have told me through out my life.
Although there are a lot of different accents here, one thing that is common to all of them is as you said, adding in extra h's. :P but not the way you said "alrish", we usually say "alri" or "alroi".
What a load of bollocks. My Grandparents were from the South of Ireland and I can put the accent 'on' even though I'm a Londoner. and let's be honest about it the Irish and Scots are related.I'm an excellent mimic of accents as I was brought up with Irish,Jamaican and Asian people so I get the nuances correct !!!!
Ok cool I was right I googled alot of this I'm doing a play were I have to do a monolouge in a Scottish accent I went to the grocery store ,and I have been talking in a Scottish Accent for the past month.I don't know how convincing it is though lol. Someone asked me were I was from so not a good thing they shold know.
I can tell them apart but It's because I'm an Actress who is trying to study and learn as many accents as I can. I was watching to see if I was right or not I will let you know if was right or not.
Thanks for this! I've never had too much trouble distinguishing, but I'm trying to get it down pat. Anyways, just wanted to say, that I found it helpful, especially when you were just talking, to hear your own accent.
Watch Hollyoaks then you'll understand the real differences.

If you have ever seen Alice in Wonderland , (as in the new version with Johnny Depp and Mia Wasikowska) When the Hatter gets mad, and also when they are walking in the woods with Alice on his hat, he is talking with a SCOTTISH accent. If you've ever seen Titanic (w/ Leo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet) the red headed mom w/ 2 children is speaking with an IRISH accent. Hope the movie refrences help!!:)

I have to say as an America there are people in America who can't tell the difference between accents, but that doesn't mean we all can't. There are some very stupid and ignorant people in the states just as there are in any other place in the world. I just hope that people reading this who have had their accents confused don't take it out on the rest of America because a couple of douches forgot that there are other countries on the planet. And finally GO SCOTLAND & IRELAND!

pat72118 10 months ago
I got asked if I was Irish quite a lot when I was working in the states. I can see the similarity's, but Irish sing their words a little bit more. It's easy for a Scottish person to say words in an Irish accent when abroad as we need to try and not over pronounce our "R's" to be understood.
jpbackintown 11 months ago
Im from the western Ireland, now we do, especially in west Ireland use H's as said but it depends on the accent as we have a number of varying regional accents throughout the island with various dialects, slang, colloquialisms and the harsher sounds of Irish which grants us a harsh sound e.g. we dont pronounce the 'g' in ing and our R is harsh, the english pronounce it like 'are' but ours is like 'oar', t's are 'ch' like tune=choon and many more like having a melody sound like in the South west.

Irish people do not speak or sound like that at all and I have lived in several different parts of Ireland. All with different accents, may I add, not just a general one! Stick to your own accent, its probably the only one you can actually do properly

I suggest that you get an Irish for the next video to do the Irish part. If my gf would speak with such an accent like you are trying to demonstrate, I'm afraid our communication would become impossible. I fail to recognise anything Irish in what you show. I guess we aren't frequenting the same Irish. You don't make me think about those few from north that I met neither those I know from movies.

I have an Irish accent (it's not strong because I'm half British) but everyone always says my voice sounds like music, when I go travelling especially. There is a melody to it at the end of what we say. It's like a song...(as I am told and have noticed from being told this soooo so often).
When I was in canada many ppl said Irish people have the most melodic accent of all....just saying based off of what other people have told me through out my life.
I actually get confused with aus & scottish.

Although there are a lot of different accents here, one thing that is common to all of them is as you said, adding in extra h's. :P but not the way you said "alrish", we usually say "alri" or "alroi".
