    I have to say these lines in a soft Northern Irish accent. Can anyone help me please by writing them out phonetically so as to make it easy for a tone deaf person like myself. :D

    "I have to let you out here; I have to go back to Comer. I'll pick you up on my way back."

    If you're going back to Comer you'll need more than a northern accent, a couple of rosaries and a benediction or two should also help.......

    Replace the "you" with "ya", "my" with "ma" and "I have" with "I've".

    What, or where is Comer?

    I hear the Celtic Tiger is hiding out in the hills above Comer. I'm determined to find him again.

    Ah.

    The phrase you are saying is pretty standard. There is no way of spelling it out phonetically.

    I've said it out loud to myself about 5 times now and still can't write it phonetically. It's more about where you put the emphasis within the words.

    You could stick the word "mucker" at the end of the sentence. :pac:

    "I have to let you out here; I have to go back to Comer. I'll pick you up on my way back."

    Put emphasis on all the words underlined....

    i.e I have to let you oot here; I have to go back to Comer. I'll pick you up on my way back.


    *out = oot

    Would you not go on to YouTube and listen to Daniel say a few words? You'd get the gist then.

    What part of 'The Wee North' are you supposed to be from?

    There isn't a one size fits all northern accent. From Ballymena to Cork there's a different accent every 10 miles along the road.

    The easiest to spell phonetically would probably be Belfast. But even then the pedants would ask "whasch party Bealfost arr ye fraam"

    Use the word Situation NI pronunciation, Sit-yee-ation as many times as possible :);)

    If in doubt, use a hybrid scottish-jamacian accent. Nobody will ever know the difference.
