Are there upper/middle class/working class Tipperary/Mayo accents?

Country people are special.

Any chance you could draw us a map of Ireland with the regions 'country' and 'not country' drawn in different colours?

Yes I've noticed people from Cork and Galway do have a massive difference between city and county.

I think a Derry City vs Derry County can be very varied.

4 main types:
Agricultural
Less agricultural
Much less agricultural
The ones with notions about themselves because they were up in Dublin (the whole time) during college.

Mary Robinson. Martin Manseragh.

Country people used to have very posh accents, if Protestant but that's dying out.

The Sidewards Man · 19-05-2016 12:54AM

Do they have different accents because they marry their relations?

Do you ever have a night off to yourself?

I'll rephrase that, does poor Maryanne ever get a night's peace?

Tbm what is this interrogation? Pot, kettle there now Seamus.

There is only Dublin, Belfast, Cork and Omnibogger. That's it.

You're some cute hoo-er, OP.

Upperer than you?

Starting a thread with just a question is bad forum.

Farmer types.
Working joes.
Horsey types.

In ascending order of poshness.

What's so great about Dublin? Everything is more expensive, gun crime, junkies, homeless people. It's noisy, smelly and congested too.

You can have relations with your relations without marrying them.

I got shot three times the last time I was there.

Benevolent Misanthrope · 19-05-2016 08:46AM

Is anyone familiar with the phrase, "tuppence ha'penny looking down on tuppence"?

Gwynplaine · 19-05-2016 08:50AM

Brian Kerr on TV3 last night, they needed subtitles on it because I couldn't understand a word. I suppose he's the equivalent of those Healy-Rae idiots, can't understand them either.

That's nothing I was shot 6 times by a smelly homeless junkie on a crowded street and no one cared because they were all going to their horse riding lessons in the burbs.

I can understand what Brian Kerr is saying but I don't want to hear it. I don't know if it's the combination of accent and voice, but I just can't listen to him. I prefer chalk scraping along a blackboard (so long as it's non-Dublin chalk).

I've moved around a bit since I was 18 so I now have some sort of Galway / Scottish/ Cork accent.... my brother on the other hand is pure Easht Chlare...

He probably thinks anything outside of Dublin tbh,

No doubt there are different accents in every county and their different parts.

There are different accents in each postcode in Dublin (Ballyfermot, Tallaght, Finglas,Rathmines,Dalkey, Blanchardstown etc) , so why wouldn't it be the same for the other counties which are MUCH larger.

There is approximately 6 distinct accents in Dublin alone.

I love how Dublin folks who have never lived anywhere else think it's the centre of the universe. Very parochial worldview.

In fairness you people from every town in Ireland who have never lived anywhere else with the same outlook.

Do country people have difference accents?
