@Aaron Fawcett race? Sorry to break it to you but irish isn’t a race and believe me when i tell you that when you thicken an irish accent it’s vastly different to others
when you're around your ppl? *YES* xD i'm happy i understood MOST of what that Irish guy said from all the bri'ish tele i've watched. but i STILL got some things wrong xD
irish talk gets lil deeper and odd but beautiful in it own way the more you go down the rabbit hole of accents specially when drunk it whole lots of fun
Congratulations for having a funny big brain thought!!! I guess everyone has one every now and then and this was yours. I sincerely congratulate you for having a thought you'll be proud to tell your friends and family.
@@saint4life09 Irish Travellers, or Mincéiri, are not Romani, and share no cultural or linguistic base with the Romani aside from both being modern nomadic groups in Europe.
i thought they did. then i see jack says it. so obviously every one is in Ireland says it. haha. jack even says it in the slogan style i've always heard. i wonder what movie or whoever said it like that first. it wasn't jack i know that.
I naturally talk very quickly and have spent my entire life trying to consciously slow it down. My one visit to Ireland had me feeling like I had finally found my people. 😂
There have been some interesting studies done on the subject of speed of speech vs. speed of information transfer, and interestingly, IIRC at least, while there are big differences in how fast people talk on average in different languages, the rate of information transfer is more or less the same. I.e. In languages where people often talk faster (IIRC Italian being one) there are more words taking up space without actually doing any real work transferring information. One study tried to equate the same sentences in different languages to actual data transfer rates, and came to the conclusion that (at least among the 14-17 languages tested in the study) all of them gravitated towards an average of just under 40 bits per second. So if you have a natural tendency to talk very quickly, you might find yourself happier learning a language that's inherently fast paced. =)
@@danscott3880 You ain't wrong. I read an article a while back where he talked about his accent. Basically said it was a combination of listening to a lot of people who were still learning English, including his parents, so he just talked with the same halting rhythm they all had when they were thinking of what English word to use. Add him basically doing the impossible and picking up a Queens Accent later on, and you got a Christopher Walken
@•Skeebsy Zeebzy• lol I'll try to summarize: Walken grew up around a lot of immigrants learning English, so he developed that halting rhythm of speech from them. Then, he developed a Queen's accent as he got older (developing a new accent in general is almost impossible) and bada bing, bada bang, the Christopher Walken accent
Try the old midwestern accent. It has the uncanny ability to only be understood when 1) you grew up around the accent. Or 2) you are drunk. Midwestern is very unique and that anyone can understand it once you have drank enough lmao. It's important to be understood that most midwesterners don't talk like this anymore, as it is the dialect of our grandparents. Edit: it has come to my attention wisconsin has never abandoned the accent.
What peeves me is when they give people who are portraying German or Russian people (or any European) British accents. Like not everyone in Europe has one.
@@starling1226 what really really annoys me is when they have people from England in anything they always have very very posh and over the top accents and there's very very few people who speak like that so it drives me crazy because there's literally hundreds of accents all around England but we always sound the exact same way in 99% of things that America makes also I don't know why but every time they need a bad guy 99% of the time it's either German, Russian or English
i been feeling mad low lately and this winter blues is hitting hard for everyone in quarantine, if u can relate i make music and we might be able to connect 🖤🪐 either way bless up and i hope you're holding up in these hard times 💯💨
I mostly see it with *thick* African accents. Happened to me recently, I only realized they were speaking English like 3/4 the way through the video I was watching.
This made me thing about blood benders because the body is made of 70% water, so airbenders can suffocate you But then the stupidest fucking thing decided to pop into my head: Are you an air bender? Because you take my breath away
It’s the actual language of Irish it’s not Irish English. it’s the Irish language it’s called Irish Gaelic I love it when justaminx speaks in Irish Gaelic
@@CameronMatlock-zm9hp I'm sorry to tell you this isn't Irish, its just english with a thick farmers accent. There is nothing but english in this video. Irish is a completely different language
Jack: “There’s a lot of examples of people trying to do Irish accents that don’t have an Irish accent, and it sounds absolutely dreadful.” Unus Annus intensifies
JACK! My Dad + Grandma are from county Mayo. Grandma's been in England some 50 years and she is convinced anyone from Ireland thinks she sounds English . I'm going to play her the good fellow who lost his sheep and see if she can understand it.
Man I tell you what man that dang 'ol sheep farmer talkin' 'bout missin' sheep like 'ol wolf or somethin' like speakin' in tongues man like speak English.
That’s not even the hardest name. Tadhg is a famous Irish name, Aoife, Naimh, Rían, Ruairí, Siobhan, Síofra, Gráinne, Meadhbh and Síle. You can do this in your own time.

Yeah, not sure why we English don't consider deep accents as different languages, though. In a lot of places (Spain, China, India, etc.) that is the case. I suppose it's subjective. I mean it's like if you can understand half of what someone says then it's an accent. Is Dutch an accent of German? Or is Ukrainian an accent of Russian?
@@rajbhattacharya4427 Well maybe because technically Irish is an Accent. Because the Difference between a Language and Accent is i mean is not as Complicated as Languages with Dialect. To Put it as Simply as i can. Languages to Dialect is like an Army with a Navy, while Accent is like a Weapon that used by that Said Army of Soldier. Basically, Languages is just a Main Dialect, and Dialect is just a Way to use that Languages but not used as a Main way to Speak in that Languages, while Accent is just the Way People Say thing.
@@Azazantei I wouldn't say that.. It's just too simple. English and even german shares the same language roots but this doesn't make it a dialect or an accent of any of each other. An accent basically defines the sound of someone talking a foreign language or a shared language with specific differences in sound and vocabulary over country borders such as switzerland and germany. A dialect rather describes local differences of a language within a country. Dutch is a different language to german just with the same roots again. Therefore it can become an accent if a german talks dutch or opposite but it's never gonna be a dialect. Russian and other slavic countries may have the same roots as well but despite a few exceptions (serbia/croatia i.E.) they turned into different languages. So the same applies here. An accent if they're talking that other language ofc. But describing it just an accent because of the same ancestry is too simple. And it's for sure not a dialect. Edit: So Irish, Scottish etc. are accents. English basic language and country specific differences. Dialects ofc within these languages. Such as the sheep guy or dublin. If the uk would be one giant country it'd be all dialects.
Theres a concept in psychology that when youre around a group you belong to but have generally moved away from them that when you return you will temporary revert back to old habits and styles of speech, I've noticed in myself that my voice turns alot more countrified when I go home, both to match the hick-side and contrast with the suburb-side, but on campus my voice feels more standard (for me it's just a midwest accent), these arent conscious decisions it's just what happens, Jack being back around that culture even a small amount reverts a little. No idea why it's the same with friends, maybe because Nogla plays but hes not always there so who knows
Omg you’re actually right 😂😂😂 I noticed his accent got a bit more and more thicker, like when he played among us with all Irish youtubers and streamers
I love putting on the subtitles for thick accents. Not just because I can’t understand them but I love when the subtitles go off the rails and changes words and makes it sound ridiculous. Perhaps I’m easily amused…Fir instance. That young guy said ‘frosh butt’ according to the subtitles.
Something I rember reading is that, during a Scotland VS Ireland football game, the opposing fans shouted at each other with "we hate England more than you"
I remember hearing about that , caused a lot of controversy in my house , one parents English the others Scottish... 😀✋I hated watching football matches of England vs Scotland never ended well
It's an "Oirish accent" which is a characature of the Irish accent used in international/ not Irish productions. Its dumb but you have to do it or Australian/American audiences won't recognise it. Its very commonly known amongst the Irish acting scene and is quite disliked
An Irish accent changes depending on which county ur in say if ur in kilkenny u wouldn't hear any ts like water becomes waher(btw I'm from kilkenny so I know) also this was all easy to understand it all sounded normal and now I think if I'm not talking to an another Irish person also better becomes be eh er
I'm American and I've lived here for a little over 5 years and one of the main things I get corrected for saying Ireland rather than 'Our'-land. But that's in Dublin.😋
Ah, jesus. The elder people in Lú you can't understand what they're saying. Someone came up to me saying "hosdswesharopdaershon" he was actually asking me what's the weather up there, son.
There are 5 types of Irish accents 1: polite and interesting to listen to 2: strong and sexy 3: slightly loud and intimidating 4: I taek ta sheap tah hdghskdhdbbfbfjdhdhdhej 5 nogla?
I wish Jack would have finished the Irish accent cartoon video, because in that video he goes on to talk about Irish people in the north and how they're more on the Scottish side, and he actually does reference the Frostbit guy as an example. Classic Jack video to come back to, these types of vids really make me smile.
Understandable: "There was a full moon out, so anybody could have come up and taken them" That guy's accent: "The rewa safullm oono ut, soanybody co uldha vecomeu pandta kenth em"
from what the farmer said, it was a full moon, so you just need a good dog and you can herd them all onto a truck. My question is how far did they have to move the sheep so no one would notice the truck XD
"put another shrimp on the Barbie" is something I think of people thinking of us as almost every day, as well as "g'day mate" and fairy bread, fairy bread IS a dessert. how dare you... Of course some of this is a joke... 🤣 But I am somewhat surprised by what people think it's us, btw, did your see Australia on the sexiest accents? Sean just missed it...
i love it when seans accent gets stronger, i really enjoy seing his videos even more when that happens, not because i find the accent funny, i just really like that accent and like it when you are connected with your rooths, i think it's a good thing
I just had a flashback to watching Wonderwoman at the movies in Belgium, at some point Wonderwoman is going through a flemish town and I was so surprised to actually hear dutch! I hadn't expected it at all, but only the actors.. well.. I think they were either people who hadn't spoken dutch for a long time or were not native speakers as they had strange accents, especially one woman was funny as she was very clearly from the Netherlands (they speak dutch as well, but with a very different accent). I heard more than one person snickering at it, at least they tried :')
Jack's accent is like Hollywood Sean; it's cleaned up for a larger audience. Now when Jackaboy is speaking with a fellow Irishman or even watching other Irish people speak, Sean emerges. His accent goes full pot-o-gold within 10 mins.
The irish accent debate always just reminds me of Taliesin Jaffe trying to make his character have an irish accent, failing, and then Matt Mercer just took it and ran. Chances are that Matt's accent is still not perfect, but man, it's sexy.
jack's like in court for doing something and his lawyer just goes: "your honor, my client says in his defense and i quote 'we irish people are just built different'"
Your grip of the American accent being Irish is well done. To be fair American isn’t a well sought after accent, we love your accent much more. Pretty much anyone else’s accent tbh
For me, I much prefer foreign accents compared to any we have in the States. I have definitely heard the heavy Texas accent, mid western, LA, and Boston accent. Those are the only accent I’ve really only ever heard here aside from a Spaniard woman, but other than that, anything else is much better than ours lol
@@wrightcemberwe make fun of our California accent, especially anyone with a thick valley accent haha I try to have as standard american an accent as possible. But when I'm around my own people I let the stereotypical surfer accent slip out a bit 😂😂
@@wrightcember Yeah it's like how the features of your hometown are way more boring than other places. People come to where I live to see sights and I'm like... why?? Nature here is ugly af

There are 3 levels of Irish accents: 1: Polite and interesting to listen to 2: Slightly loud and sound angry occasionally 3: Ih taek ta sheep on usbsydhebdirbhrud dhdbdh
I'm a translator who specializes in English and there *SO. F*CKING* little Irish and Scottish material to work with when you're learning different accents, _this_ is one of the most helpful videos i've found. Take that as you will.
@@GhostlyFyre I have, but there's so much media where everyone speaks *exclusively* in thick western accents that they've a considerable level of advantage when trying to get used to them. Otherwise they'd be just as cryptic to me, honestly.
@@x3kiwiix3 Well close, but not exactly. An interpreter usually works face to face, helping two or more people understand one another in real time. Those who mostly work with documents and video files, on the other hand, are classified as translators. Most people in the field do usually work with both at some point though, depending on the place and licence requirements and such.
Those sheep the farmer had were Rough Fell It's a Common sheep in Ireland I think I'm not from Ireland but I do raise sheep and it's very handy to know the different sheep breeds.
I have a cousin who left Ireland for America when he was 7. He has no trace of his accent left except when he is plastered drunk. His accent comes in so clear, you'd wonder if he ever actually left! The funniest thing to witness.
Look up John Barrowman native Scottish but moved to USA and had vocal coaching to help him learn to speak with an American accent and you’d never know he’s actually Scottish. Edit: I obviously did not know what was happening when I wrote this comment. I do not condone his actions in any way.
Omg same with my mum we live in Northen Ireland in and around Belfast and stuff but she lived in Cork when she was a teenager and when she gets drunk she goes super Cork lol

My dad and I went to Ireland ages ago when I was 13 (from the US). We were out by some lakes in Kerry and I can’t remember if my dad asked for directions or just started talking to this guy but an old man standing in a dingy in the lake was sorta shout-talking to us and even though this was almost 20 years ago I still remember it just sounding like a bunch of Irish noise and being confused. To this day the image of a yelling Irishman in the dingy is still burned into my brain. I think my dad just nodded and pretended he understood 😂
That farmer's accent sounded like he wasn't even speaking English, it was like he was talking in an entirely different language. Also it made me think of Boomhauer from King of the Hill.
now see in general I love irish accents that are so thick you can barely understand them (see: County Cork 😂), but only wHEN THEY ACTUALLY SOUND IRISH (see: NOT Tom Hanks, etc. 😂😂)
Jeff went on about he didn't find the irish accent sexy, heard one woman say "hi" and was immediately ready to get down on one knee. Have some self respect, jeff please

I remember when I lived in Ireland and worked for a woman to take care of her garden, one of my coworkers had come from cork and he had such a strong accent I could hardly understand what he said, I felt so bad that I asked him to repeat all the time! People who can understand strong accents are wizards
“There’s a lot of examples of people trying to do Irish accents that don’t have an Irish accent, and it just sounds absolutely dreadful” *Unus Annus flashbacks*
From southern England that farmer's accent sounds kinda generically Scandinavian (I couldn't pick out which country). It's the same with people on the northern Scottish islands. I guess they're actually kinda close to Norway there though so that's not too weird?
I am a foreign person living in Ireland for about 24 years I understand that Cork farmers very well. The lad presenting this video has a slight UK accent tbh.
No he doesn't have an English accent at all. It's one of the thickest Irish accents I've heard but from where, I don't actually know, county offley maybe.
