How would you classify these Dublin accents?

Moriarity

Hi. I have seen several posts on here about various accents in Ireland, and was hoping that all of you could help me out with this - it requires watching about ten seconds' worth of clips on youtube of various Dubliners (and surroundings) speaking. Some of these people's voices you may already know well, so in that case, no need to watch the clip.

The question for all, however, is: by his accent, can you identify where the speaker is from, and what type of background/'class' he is from?

As I said, the content of the clip isn't important. More the accent! Thanks in advance.

Correct. Dublin was always a foreign bridgehead, Dublin accent is not an Irish accent at all.

There's nothing like a thread about Dublin to bring out the begrudging culchie gits

Could one of the non-Dubliners tell me the difference between a west-brit and a non-dub?

Didn't think so...

Why do so many bogtrotters acquire the Dublin accent so readily when they move to the capital? Simple, so others can understand what they are saying. Generally grunting, groaning, tipping the cap etc gets them by down the country

I enjoy the variety in Dublin accents, except for the one recently made up accent (used exclusively by posh kids and arseholes).

the dublin accent is more a scandanavian accent as the city was created by scandis and run by them for a long time, then the scandis continued with violent ways and moved to the edges while real gangster normans took the wheel..... boggers came in mon to fri to do the paperwork and then went home to sweaty macra dances...

you have norman dublin accents there, and a carpet munching accent:pac:

If you hate Dublin so much then get the fúck out of it.

I'd love to nuke bog-central Ranelagh and all the pubs they frequent.

Flannery's most of all, then Coppers.

Bleedin' check shirts tucked into their wranglers.

Eyes different sizes.

Dont hold back there Des. All the same I agree with everything ya say, although blowing up coppers would be a crime against humanity, where would all us ugly folks to get our end away?

Dublin accents are gammy, same as the rest of the country except Donegal.
I have a Limerick accent but went to dublin for 6 months last year and ended up with a Limerick accent heavy influenced by Cork and some Dublin parts.. I start "singing" like a corconian at times and pronounce certain words like jackeens such as 'ou' for 'out' and 'woooork' for 'work'.
so a typically sentence is like:"Im not f*ckin headin ou tonigh' Ive woork in de mornin' kid.." so I sound like a spacer

I don't live there anymore thank f*ck:D
Had to go there for COMPULSORY work placement. I hate the place thats why I stayed in Limerick after college, cuz its not full of arrogant pr1icks. Just thought Id point out that Flannerys is on Camden St and Coppers = Harcourt St., not ranelagh. Some cheeky f*ckers up there, some girl started slaggin me taking off a cork accent one day in barcode. When I told her im from Limerick, she continued with the stupid fake 'Kark' accent but started saying stab city this and that(the usual :rolleyes:). My response was that we dont have knives anymore, we have guns and that d blow her head off if she slagged my city one more. Needless to say she shut the F8ck up and left...:D
