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. :-)

BTW some Scottish people can say 'yes' instead of 'yesh' (Sean Connory excepted).

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

@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.
