Best Irish Accent?

af_thefragile

With all the englishness around this forum, i thought so that us Irish don't feel left out, here's a thread about Irish accents.

What do you think is the best Irish accent?

I kinda like the Donegal accent quite a lot. It sounds really nice especially from girls. Or is it just this one friend that i've got who's from Donegal and has the coolest/cutest accent i've ever herd! :pac:

that accent can also be found in tallaght, ballybrack, sallynoggin, dolphins barn, renalagh, clondalkin, ballyfermot, palmerstown, sandyford, kilcross, monkstown, shankill, crumlin, drimnagh, kimmage, and other places around the whole of dublin.

for me the nicest accent is a soft cork accent that girls around bandon have

Pretty much all of Dublin leaving out south Dublin and all those posh areas like Howth, Malahide, Clontarf, D4 and all...

Old-school South Dublin. The kind that was spoken loooong before modern D4/DART speak. It's soft, clear and classy.

Procasinator

I would think the number of people living outside of Dublin that like the Dublin accent are far and few between... agree?

Dudess

Well there are quite a few Dublin accents.

My Dublin / Irish accent goes down well with the English

oops

Donegal for me, or any accent from the west of Ireland, reminds me of holidays.

I also like my accent, dunno what it ACTUALLY sounds like though, but it sounds good to me.

The Galway City/Connemara accent is by the far and away the nicest, either on a male or female. I guess becos its not really strong, somewhat neutral. Also love the North Kerry one, or a soft West Cork accent, particularly on a girl.

leitrim lad

have you ever heard an angry south leitrim accent ,like mine right now ,it even frightens me,

the real paddys hail from west of the shannon connacht ,the rest of ye are just blowins from surrounding countries who wouldnt have ye,

and you think a limerick accent is scary, you havent met a 6 footer from kiltubrid whos computer blew up the same day he crashed his jeep, and he wasnt even drinking, i blame the recession and the invaders to this country over the last couple of thousand years who caused it, i will run them all out me and my people

Donegal *droolsssssssssssss*

Not sure which is the best but accents from the Northern parts of this Island are the worst I think - be it Donegal or Antrim, Monaghan or Tyrone it doesnt really matter. Nothing againt the people though.

This thread is crying out for a poll.

Dublin accents are so natural to my ears I'm not conscious of them so my vote is split between Donegal and Derry.

I recently discovered my accent is the best. Really quite sexy. At a work thing, had to watch and listen to myself on video. It was an eye opening experience.

A nice, distinct yet soft non-regional accent with excellent diction and a sexy gravelly undertone. Hmmmm Hmmmmm
