How can I know if that's the Laois accent?

Eh by listening with your ears and from the fact that the dude is from laois.:rolleyes:

Peter Walczak

True, true... But, apart from the thing, he's from Laois, what else. The pronunciation? Words that are not used in other parts of Ireland? How can I distinguish Laois man form, let's say, Kilkenny or Cork?

That question is very pedantic! To be honest I'm not sure whether you are asking the question sincerly or just taking the pi**.

It was only supposed to be a funny light hearted thread ffs! :rolleyes:What does it matter? How are you supposed to describe an accent? I have lived in portlaoise my whole life I know what the accent sounds like. This guy grew up and lives in Laois, therefore he has a Laois accent!

the GALL

No offence, I was just curious.

When I first read the thread, I started to wonder if I could describe accents of my origin. Mean, different parts of Poland. I talked with my girlfriend and we decided that it'd be very, very difficult. Next day I heard the show on the radio and they were asking the listeners to choose best Irish accent. Again, it made me even more curious and I decided to ask here.

BTW, it is funny and the "song" gets into your head.

Regards.

Ok cool I was all confused. Na its to hard to describe accents. Once you get used to them yourself their easy to distinguish yourself but hard to explain.

most laois accents would be described as 'flat' they're not as sing-song as you'd get in cork/kerry, words get stretched out a little but it's very difficult to describe accents
