@@surfboarding5058 what I said isn’t wrong at all. The Cork accent has absolutely no connection to Jamaican whatsoever other than a common French influence.
You say that, because the Cork accent sounds exactly like Dutch. It's those throat clearing sounds I can't get over, what the hell are those? Only a Dutchman or an Arab could find them beautiful... When I first heard someone speak in a genuine Cork accent, I couldn't decide whether they were speaking Dutch or Arabic. I was genuinely surprised to find out it was something resembling English.
i’m from cork and met him in the english market ..... tommy loves cork and packs em in down here ... great sketch all the same. sound fella . great tv show on rté
I grew up in English so I have an English accent, but my family are from Cork so at family reunions listening to them is the funniest thing. Ireland has the best and funniest accents in the world with Dublin and Limerick to hahah
I am an American. I love Ireland and I have been multiple times. County cork is especially amazing and the people are brilliant but dear lord, I could not understand them!
I'm a Dub, but one of my favorite accents ever is the Cork accent, so musical, i love it, i love Cork. Even when they're giving out to each other its a song, ''My dear man'' -- they're so animated.
I think we should all be so proud of all the accents we have and when ever I hear any one speaking in an irish accent or even a Liverpudlian accent it makes me feel like I'm being soothed with a big warm blanket being wrapped around me.
I'm an American, and my boss grew up on a farm in Cork. 30 years of watching BBC television and I can only understand him 3 out of 10 tries, God bless him.
No wonder you're struggling 😂 BBC= British Broadcasting Corporation! It might help, sort of, ish, but not really, if your boss was from Northern Ireland but Cork is in the ROI and as South as you can go!
Amazing how some people take offense.. I'm from Cork and while he hasn't got it nailed, he's not far from the lilt… you either find it funny or not… Tommy can be very funny at his best
It sounds like hes attempting a jamaican accent but doesn't Jamaican accent come from a Cork accent because irish were sent they're. Please don't hurry me if I'm wrong. I'm but a wee boy
I'd believe that because I was watching a video with some Norwegians speaking a few years back and a middle aged woman spoke in Norwegian and I remember thinking at the time it was very like a cork accent! Closer than Tommy Tiernans retarded version anyway!
Alf Torp I met a couple from Cork in Spain and I did actually think they were Norwegian untill they actually said they were from Cork later in the conversation. The accent does sound more scandinavian than Irish to me.
My grandfather was from Cork, and a majority of the family still lives there, so I definitely grew up thinking that everyone from Ireland talked like that. Imagine my surprise...
I’ve got family from on the Cork and Kerry border. It’s amazing how different the accents are among the family depending where they live. My uncle has a thick beard and I can’t understand a word he says, I can’t lip read or see if he’s smiling or not. Lovely fellow though and a beautiful part of the world
I was in a taxi to hospital today and I was doing both of these jokes with the driver. His 'If Neil Armstrong Was From Cork' was better. We just recited Cracked back and forth I adorrrrred him!
Many years ago I met a bunch of French students in West Cork who were training as translators for the UN, so were there to brush up their accents. Might have been some surprise when they tried them out.
I've lived for 2 years and a half in Cork and I never heard a caricatural thing like the accent in this video. There is not only one accent in Cork. You have the travellers one, the country-side one, the regular one, ect
this be a term of enderment, toward or southern friends...paartie...boouy ( circa 1999-2000 ) south main street, heading for the fountain. what a majical City
My Dad's ancestors fled Cork during the Potato Famine. So when my Irish expat husband took me there to see where my Paternal accent (and my maiden name originates), we could not understand anyone! :-O And he is from Ireland...the north, but he has an accent! It was great though! I bought everything I could with my Coat of Arms. Was nice to touch base with the irish side with roots.
It's actually the other way around! Mixed children left Jamaica in the 1700s and went to Cork, Limerick and Dublin. Jamaica had different African tribes. The words in the Jamaican patois is heavily a mix of two major African countries. If you travel to West Africa you will hear the accent too! My grandmother is primarily from an area where 80% of Irish lived in Jamaica and she didn't have a Cork accent. Especially most at that time lived in a region way up North in Jamaica where the temperatures are lower; almost cold!
Cillian Murphy is from Cork, very unique features. Also many regions outside of Dublin and in Dublin have black hair or brown hair. This didn't come from the Spanish!
"It's not Cork", i fuckin luv it 😂😂I wish i cud get my Aunty Sally to say it 😂 I holidayed in the city of Cork, and believe it or not folks, i went just for that very reason, the accent ! "It's been a powerful day" sed the taxi driver, and thanks to Angela's Ashes, i knew wot he meant ! I'd luv to revisit, a beautiful part of Ireland, with beautiful people speaking in that beautiful accent !!!
i am fed up with people having a go about accents. I did Marlowe and Shakespeare in front of Dame Flora Robson and Sir Laurence Oliver. So 'Larry was packed up stairs to check. He returned gave me a wink. I did. I adore anyone who can copy an accent (Peter Sellers) is one! Depending on what part of Scotland, or Eire or Wales or BELFAST!!!! CAN DO.
What kind of accent does Tommy have naturally? My Granny was from Cork and I'm reading stories including about living in Ireland for 4 years ... and want to do the accent properly. Oh, did I say my people were from Cark? It bears repeating.
definitely, bobzyurunkel -- I was going to make the comment until I saw yours. Seems there were alot of sailors & indentured servants from that area working alongside the slaves back in the day. My niece was amazed when she first heard the O'Donovan brothers during their interviews when they won in the Olympics... 'they sound Jamaican!' she says... silly girl... I was like: 'no, we sound like THEM' lol there's a bit of Glasgow--ish stuff going on in some rural areas in JA too / fun to listen to
Dis, dat, dem, dees, deother, all prevalent in Ireland and West African languages.....I've discussed this with an African linguistic professor from Zimbabwe and have read about it in multiple books. You can specifically look on RU-vid at the interviews with Sir Hilary Beckles, Of the University of West Indies. He'll tell you about the Irish influence
Sorry to correct you,but from what i managed to understand, the correct analogy would be chile. Though i actually like both accents. Greetings from Argentina!
