I really like northern accents, especially Donegal, it sounds really soft. Love the Cork accent for sounding indignant. I really hate inner city dublin accents, variations of which can be heard in some Dublin suburbs too.

+1

Have to say the ''howiya's'' accents , as they're known , don't really entertain me in the sense of do i like them or not, i just think they are plain daft , however, there are some which are tolerable i.e. people who actually want to hold an intellectual conversation with you and do not wish to ''hijack yer micra'' and ''go on a mad one yerrroowww'' etc etc.

on the other hand no matter how much grief they recieve from it , D4 and other southside coastline accents are the best in dublin imho.

donegal accents FTW.:cool:

Ah Come off it, I wasnt being serious with you..

Anyways to add to your point some inner city accents can be just unbearable tbh.

Local-womanizer · 31-05-2009 12:48am

Dont know how anyone can like the Dery accent "Whata bout ye mucker,haigh?"

It would go through ya:mad:

Donegal is the best,but I might be a bit biased with that view:pac:

Im from Monaghan and i got with a girl the other night from Dublin and she couldnt get over how hot the Monaghan accent was. Personally i dont hear it but if it floats your boat...

Michellenman · 31-05-2009 12:57am

Northern accent. Any one of them.

Or a deep country accent. None of this high pitched squeeky stuff.

hmm..not so keen...has a kind of a 'farmers' ring to it!! I like the more belfast gravelly kind of accent...:p

worth to point out that that's a more light accent in contrast to the ones ive heard, i know a woman from monaghan and she is so attractive, all based on her accent.( And maybe coupled with the fact she wears no make up and is naturally good looking might have something to do with it too

) her accent is like a donegal one mixed with newry .. similar to louth border accents.

xOxSinéadxOx · 31-05-2009 2:44am

I love the nordie accent

InFront · 31-05-2009 3:03am

I work with a Monaghan girl with a beautiful soft Monaghan accent. We constantly tease her about her accent though, saying things like 'soft as the Irish fog' and 'she was the pride of Killeshandra'...hmmm, probably hates us.:)

TriceMarie · 31-05-2009 3:14am

yup...have to jump on the bandwagon and say the donegal accent gets me going

....
anything to be saud for the waterford accent??....be kind lads

Nope, afraid not! To my ears, it has a not-so-appealing combination of sounding whiny and having mangled vowels.

TriceMarie · 31-05-2009 4:08am

:eek::eek: I'll have you know my diction is very good..(&I've been told I have a posh Waterford accent)

newmills · 31-05-2009 9:08am

The greatest irish accent is one that cannot be understood by anyone outside of ireland - like when an american tourist asks directions from true dub - glazed expression from the yank as they politely thank the dub and then stroll off towards the nearest mcdonalds!!

googlehead · 31-05-2009 12:29pm

i have a soft Donegal accent, when i worked in dublin the local lads used to take the piss out of me as all the girls in the office would always go on about how they liked my accent, i got chatting to 2 girls once in a pub once and they said to me could i tell them a story, i said why? they said they just wanted to hear my voice.:D had a few say they could listen to me all night.:p it definetly gets attention from some girls when you are not in your local area.

monellia · 31-05-2009 12:30pm

I think that we in Clare and Galway have the most accentless accents in the world. Unless you're in a cultchie area, you'll find that these people are wonderfully lucid and clear in their manner of speaking. The only example I can think of right now is that Damien fella who used to present Den2... I don't think he was from the midwest but he had teh voice.

If there's a softer Monaghan accant than the one in the clip I've yet to hear it. No offence, but the Monaghan accent does my head in.

Peter O'Toole has the best Irish accent, with Michael Gambon a close second.:D

TriceMarie · 31-05-2009 4:24pm

What about Cillian Murphy?I think his accent is lovely now!..Not too keen on Jonathan Rhys Meyers too poe-ish or something lol

Clare men..... gets me every time.... guaranteed knicker-dropper !!!

I have a Yorkshire accent anyway

biko · 31-05-2009 6:44pm

Definitely Belfast city centre.

There's a cool song "Girls of Belfast town" by

that I really like. About how they're driving around town with the windows down so they can hear the voices of the girls of Belfast town.

Well DubMedic, most of the great Irish revolutionaries, politicians and literary genius' were ''howiya's''. In fact most of the great people of Dublin were ''howiya's'' , unlike the lads on your side of town. I don't even know why south dubs even class themselves as Irish, the only thing Irish about them is their passports.

Im not going to entertain your little rant & give you any satisfaction by replying to your worthless posts and getting myself into hassle with the Mod's.
There is a place on boards.ie for people who wish to start fights, and that is in the trash.

mle1324 · 31-05-2009 8:38pm

As a dub i have to say dublin accent but for messing and making bogger jokes the Meath and Limerick accent is the best:D

It's called having an opinion lad. So do you fear the almighty wrath of the high moderator? Grow up boy and live a little, there's more to life then sitting behind your laptop and fearing the hand that rocks your internet world.

I never said I ''fear'' anyone.

Since when am i a boy? I'm more of a man then you'll ever be.

I Just dont think its fair that you go straight ahead and assume im from the southside based on my opinion

oh wait , whats that called again?

You not need say you fear to imply it.

You have a right to your opinion, but I have the right to challenge you on it, it's called freedom of speech.

And yes, you must obviously be more of a man than I am. I better go back to my pillow and whimper like the inferior being I am.
