What County,

What County has the best accent in Ireland ?

i think it would be Cork, for the simple reason they can confuse a foreigner with any effort :D:D

DUBLIN

brummytom

Cork for pure lulz
Belfast for assertiveness
Dublin overall (I just like the sound of it; good diction aswell)

Local-womanizer

AKK

Any county in Norn Iron.

Limerick of course. I could sing Chris De Burgh's "Lady In Red" in a Limerick accent, and everyone listening would hand out their phone and keys without a second thought

RoadKillTs

Belfast or Donegal

Every time I'am down the country women become weak at the knees when I speak,but then again it just might be the Rohypnol.......

Cavan!

I said it in the last thread and I'll say it again.

Any accent that you can immediately call where it is from in this country is usually deplorable!

Only decent accent in this country is the one that ya cant put your finger on. The Pan Irish Accent!

Donegal can be quite nice alright, once its not indecipherably thick

People seem to love the Galway accent! It's been said to me, and not by Galway people. They were English. Not that it counts for much!)
I hate hate hate hate the Cork one. It just annoys me. Beautiful county, lovely people. Just wish everyone went around with ball gags on!

pablomakaveli

I think in general all types of Irish accent are ****e.

Rented Mule

If you count GAA counties, then my vote goes to New York.

You gotta problem wit dat ??

Diabhal Beag

Derry or Donegal. To the poster who said Sligo girls you must be joking

Black And Proud

Burundi one does it for me. Very Sexual undertones

In Ireland Dub 18 is nice.

Cupcake_Crisis

Belfast, Galway or Donegal.....nomnomnom :cool:

Ghost Train

Galway I guess, cork can be good

Elliemental

Co.Kerry, a sublime accent.:D

samilou

Cork is the most annoying ever (ppl are nice and very friendly)

Northern Accents defintely best - Belfast or Lisburn (not as harsh as belfast)

admiralofthefleet

donegal

foreigners like the Galway accent because it's easier to understand but I think its more that the Galway accent is easier to tone down as a thick Galway accent can easily sound like static on a broken tv.

Good Diction is only found in a small Radius around RTE/Donneybrook - after that its "accent ground zero" and Diction is "the yoke you give yer burd"

Any Girl with a NI accent makes me look twice

sky88

i like a nice cork accent on a girl

My area's accent is better than your area's accent.

irish horse

the lovely offaly accent. like our lovely leader for example

TPD

I can't stand the NI accents. Donegal is bearable. Everywhere else is unusual and therefore scary.

probably because they think you are going to stab them.

It's definitely not Sccccccccchliiiiiiigo. Been here 6 years & still have trouble understanding the locals, or "loooocchalzh" (in Schligo speak).

Sligo - Uni-brow capital of Ireland.

Chicken Tikka sandwiches profits have not been affected by the recession in Offaly.

Aye, sure it has to be donegal hi.

For scenery: Virtually any county on the West Coast.

For women: I'm not from Dublin, don't live even near Dublin, but I must say I really home I get to uni up there because the volume of good looking women is immense.

For the lulz: Cavan.

jd007

Definetly has to be Donegal!

rainbowdrop

I think a poll is called for........:rolleyes:

Personally, I think the 'norn iron' accent is savage, that or the CaaaVan accent...... mmmm.

The Dublin accent scares me, maybe it's because I'm a culchie, and I always think they want to steal my mobile phone or something, even though I know it's just psychological (probably). Sorry Dubs:o

I'm going to say Longford, purely because when I was driving through there a few weeks ago, they had a Banjo festival on!

Ah you can't beat the Cavan accent, Monaghan accent is vile, Donegal accent is fair, the North Antrim accent is annoying as is the Doire accent at times, as for Throne (Tyrone) accent... similar to the Monaghan one except a little more tolerable. Armagh accent is the nicest though! Nice middle ground Northern accent.

As for the rest of the island. Midlands is ****e, as is Dublin, Kerry, Sligo, Waaaherfurh, Louth etc etc. The only accent I like really is the Cork accent when spoken properly.

/me waits for barrage of criticism!
