    Yes.

    Its currently being studied in the UK, home of many great Cow Scientists , and is reported on the BBC here

    Cows have regional accents like humans, language specialists have confirmed.

    Mhuuuuuu Like . the scientists actually went to farms and listened to the cows.

    They decided to examine the issue after dairy farmers noticed their cows had slightly different moos, depending on which herd they came from.

    and down in Oooooo Arrr Central , Zumerzet in England.
    Farmer Lloyd Green, from Glastonbury, said: "I spend a lot of time with my ones and they definitely moo with a Somerset drawl.

    Thank **** there are no cows in Tallaght :eek: mBUDoo !!!!!

    Our dog has a northern accent.

    No, really.

    When she says "rurr rurr rurr rarr!" she sounds like she's from Dungannon or some sh*t.

    I need to get out more...

    haha ye but i might not be callin meself this name any more. might change it to something cooler like me tallaght street name "eoinzy" or sum crap like that. whatcha think?

    This whole cow thing reminds me of eddie murphy tryin to talk to the orangutang in dr doolittle and it turns out he couldnt understand him coz the orangutang spoke spanish. maybe thats why the cows never respond to me, coz they;re boggers and cant understand me tallaght accent. I must remember to put on a cork accent or sumtin next time i talk to cows. speakin of which, anyone in Coppers there on Monday night? hehe

    Basically you are wrong. !!!! No wonder they all looked at you funny :D

    All their Cows will have the SAME accent , say a Mayo Accent for arguments sake.

    On another farm the Cows will ALL have Different accents, say the cousins farm in Cavan for example.

    Tell that dope Bard to start his own thread on Accents and Dogs somewhere else if he can find a scientist that is :(
