What about Mayo!
My aunt once told me that people from Cavan eat their meals out of a drawer, so that if visitors come calling, they can slam it shut and not have to feed them.
It’s true
They’d peel an orange in their pockets
😂😂
How can you tell your in a caven man’s house?
A fork in the sugar bowl!
A famous joke goes
My Cavan grandfather was approached by two men asking for donations for the local swimming pool and my grandfather being the man he is went out and got a bucket of water and gave it to the men he then told them that he wanted the bucket back
ive noticed in videos like these people in the comments who are from Ireland feel a need to announce that fact by stating there county of origin. Why is it we do that. im from galway by the way
proud of Ireland maybe? thats a good thing right? Dutch myself, you guys are lovely people.
As a Kerryman, I have no idea
Because of all the Americans who think they're Irish. We differentiate ourselves from the wannabes.
I’m from Galway
I don't know if you said "I'm from Galway" on purpose for the joke or not
Friend:why are you coughing so much
Cavan man:the rain
Friend:why didn't you buy a jacket
Cavan man: 20 POUND ARE YOU JOKING NOT A HOPE
Cleveland Brown 😂😂😂☘️
Isn’t it euro
We aren't actually poor or tight tbh louth or monaghan are

We also use €
he died this week. rest in piece mr toibin
Sorry to hear that.
Sorry to hear only in my recommendation today. Rip
😢
NOOO! I didn't know. Why is it that I stumble onto YT videos where I learn of the death of this or that person? Strange.
Tragic loss to all of us! May he rest in peace God bless his soul
Derry, Donegal, Leitrim and Roscommon are always forgotten about! Sure we have lovely accents up here too!
Aye, we do aye
***** somejob sir
as a Derry man who grew up in Donegal I feel so much pain at being forgotten and Derrymen have lovely accents
Luke Doherty we all do in the NW
Aye surely but
When he did the Cavan accent it reminded me of my boyfriend’s Cavan dad steaming an unmarked stamp off an envelope he received. He was so excited to have lucked out. Memories 😂
'A Cavan man once told me, 'Duh hawvash moo isha bryhesh moo naday ear'. Can't argue with that can you. Since arguing with it would require you to understand it.
:DDDDD
Sounds like gaelige kinda hahaahahaha i love being irish
Fucking lmao
Cavan people are the best people;)
Haha tóibín was a genius;)
"Without adequate insurance coverage" I'm dead
The Belfast accent was so accurate wtf 🤣🤣🤣
Niall is one of our best story tellers I luv how he uses different accents when telling his stories he really commands ur attention in the most pleasing way iv listened to him since I was child and still 30 oddyears later he still has me laughing and intrigued in his story telling and his comedy with out any smutt will have u in stitches laughing
In some accents we say "wa'er" instead of "water."
it's sort of like when a Sheffield man says wha'eh but we use R's in our vocab
And some people keep their Rs in their trousers!
we do in waterford
TheGrimReaper54321 you live in Waterford too? small world!
Just Another Arrogant Internet User im from clare i say wa er
jesus the cork-west cork accent was so accurate
"The gay child of me passion"
I can't be the only one who laughed at that 🤣
My driving tester knew where I was from after my first sentence, the exact village, never mind the county!
OP. Didn't make my day, or week; flat made my month right when I'm chuffed for a laugh.
A simple thank you.
Talent and wit - a dangerous combo!
Leitrim and Roscommon are always forgotten 💔
I know never mentioned 😩😡
+Rionach Nic Conmara Rightly so.
I'm joking ;-)
+Rionach Nic Conmara For good reason ;)
Roscommon isn't a county
+Molly Macq yes it is
Reminds me of my mum god bless her she is almost 92 now almost blind with Alzheimers, now so she lives in her own little Kinsale world. Still takes 2 to 3 helpers to cope with her and she has still a great right uppercut(The fighting Irish :) She is the last of her family left all brothers and sisters gone now. Maybe she makes it to a century?
Ah Kinsale st John's hill the memories
Eamonn Dunphy makes an appearance 😂
There's more regional accent variation in a single Irish county than in the entire of the Australian landmass...
I love that one, I'm an Irish born Australian and reading all this has me on stitches!
I'm from NSW and visited Victoria and S.A when I was a kid, and thought they spoke differently.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
Jesus Christ saves repent and follow him today seek his kingdom today is the day of salvation come to him today
Love the Kerry quip at the end. So on point!
Being born in wales but having lots of family in cork I can confirm that there seems to be some sort of a crossover 😄 like some words sound exactly the same in a valleys accent as they do in a cork accent.
They both sound very relaxed and unrushed.
Like which words
@@alastairward2774 i'm from cork and i'd say we're the quickest speaking in the country
Love the Irish accent, coming from Coventry, a real melting pots of Irish dialects at my local Club, growing up just hearing the lilting voices of my friends parents, happy days, Kerry, Kilarney, Mayo, Clare , Clare, Cavan, limerick, Galway, beautiful
Among the better videos I seen like this but as usual, even Niall couldn't get them all right. Still great anyhow.
Although I know most of those names he was in, here in Britain the series I remember Mr Toibin in most of all was Ballykissangel of course. He played the priest in it of course too. Shown on BBC1 on a Sunday night then mostly from 1996 to 2001 at the time. Great series, as well as him, the other actors so too. Filmed of course at Avoca in Co Wicklow as well too. Thank you!
One of the best channels on CZcams bro keep it going 👍 🍀
I'm from Blantyre Glasgow, when I visited Dublin people there thought I was from Belfast.
Hi Rab, i'm also from Blantir and many times people from the 26 Counties ( except Donegal of course) thought i was from the 6 Counties !
jesus this guy's amazing
This same experience happens when people try to do anyone else's accent, they don't nail it just right for those of you who live in that region.
Everyone forgot about Wickla
lovely to listen to the different accents.live the cork and kerry one
As a Monaghan man got to say he nailed our accent accompanied with some Monaghan poetry great job.
He didn't attempt north Armagh with it's mumbling and cursing.
mylo o'hagan I wasn’t commenting on north Armagh.😂 pretty sure every county curses as much as the next one buddy😂
He nailed the south monaghan accent, the north monaghan accent is the complete opposite, we sound much more "Northern" than we really are.
And some people around blayney sound like dubs haha.
Nial Toibín passed away last week.
Such talent
I´m a Donegal man, but have lived the most of my life in Scandinavia, but when i visit my home land, I am told that I still have my Donegal accent. But why should I change it . It has been voted to be the sexiest accent in Ireland.
You'll find a survey somewhere that votes every country with that title. Personal I cant stand the northern accent, donegal included
Aye
Donedeal accent is the most vile accent in this country. County Down is bad but donedeal sounds downy
I'm from Kerry and his impression is pretty accurate, especially for the elderly. But the accent is dying, especially in the big towns.
Are young people still using it? Or does it sound weird? I love the accent and have it myself, but would I sound somewhat weird if I spoke like this to Irish people? I am a young Frenchman fascinated by Ireland and I just want a very Irish accent. To be more precise, my R's are not rolled like his in the video, but I do practically everything else like him
It's still heavily used. People would be taken back by it and I've found that people even in Waterford or Clare find the Kerry accent to be very strange and humourous.
RIP Niall Tóibín
I looked at my great grandfathers Wexford Census from 1914 or whatever. The policeman writing down the names, had written Davit, and Margarethe along with recognisable names. It wasn't until I said the names out loud with an Irish accent that I got it. Lol
I really enjoyed this.
Speaking as a regular visitor to Ireland from the UK, the only accent that eludes me is Kerry. I remember asking a farmer direction back in the 1980s, and if I'd asked him to repeat it we'd have been stood there now. He was definitely speaking English, not Irish, but I'd have probably got the Irish quicker without understanding a word.
God, I am polish and I'll be traveling to Kerry soon. Do people in Tralee sound like that at all or only in the countryside?
@@humanbeing2143 Younger women don't speak the local Kerry dialects, so just ask one of them
@@cigh7445 they do they just don't have the accent
I'm from Ardee and glad we got a wee mention.
Lol I live in dunleer xD
The Louth Maws Baws they are very similar to the Cavan lisp.
Ardee hay 😆
Galway/Mayo probably have the easiest accents to understand, although it differs agin within the county, Connemara, Galway City (natives) , Tuam and South Galway, but overall we understand each other, and so do most foreigners!
Most Irish accents i find easy enough to understand including most of Co Galway and Mayo but years ago i met a Connemara Shepherd in the mountains and could hardly understand him!
@@eileannach4350 You might not be the only one lol...a lot of old men live alone and rarely talk to anyone, except the dog, so their dialect gets worse and worse....until they end up being barely intelligible, not a put down or anything, and English may not be his first language either....Thanks for sharing...)
@@sherp2u1 good point. And their dogs will be Irish speaking too ! 😆
@@eileannach4350 Well, I don't know about speaking, but they will probably obey Gaelic commands et al...LOL!
I'm from Kerrry and I can understand people from Donegal perfectly, but I swear people from the Galway countryside are speaking Gibberish
PURE GOLD.
WEXFORD AHHHH WHY DOES EVERYONE FORGET
We are the boys of Wexford iam former Stokes town boy living in oz
Up Cork!!!
I was born in Wales and raised by my Irish grandparents immigrants from Wexford. I could understand them but if we had Irish visitors the different dialects of English became a total puzzle to me be jasus so they were
I love Ireland and lived there 10 years ❤👍😀paul payton England x
Truly fantastic all rounder!
I'm from Mayo born and bred and a proud Westerner and I don't care how the dubs make fun of us. Our accent is class no matter how much its joked about. There's one main accent in Mayo but it's thicker in different parts. If ye don't know we pronounce shh in words. We also throw ín or een at the end of words like birdín or dogeen and so on, basically when your talking about something small. Now the dubs like to call us boggers. In East of Mayo its very soft. But there's some towns in the east with thick accents. Up the North they sound a biteen more high pitched but are thicker speakers in the North West. The North East sound like the east. Now the South of Mayo is where I'm from and we speak very thick accents down here, we're much thicker than the North and East. But I'm afraid the West Mayo people take the tae with the way they talk they aren't hard to understand but they speak alot deeper and thicker. The accent is always thicker where people speak Irish. So North West , South and West do the most. East and North East not that much. Never be ashamed of your accent it's apart of who you are 💪
Funnily enough, Dubliners don't spend their time walking around the capital slagging off the Mayo accent. Lived here all my life. Never heard of anyone doing that. Actually, never recall anyone mentioning Mayo. Could it be you have a wee bit of an inferiority complex? A complexín?
@@stephendaedalus6192 Why would we have complexes of inferiority🤣 We love our accents.
And everytime I've been to Dublin some jeaicín says something to you about being from Mayo but as far as I've experienced 99% it's just jigactin but you've the odd strange person generally close to the All Ireland who's pure anti Mayo. But shur look we could give a cac eitilte on what a few dubeens think of us🤣
@@deaganachomarunacathasaigh4344 That's likely because you have a big bog head on you. You were suggesting Dubliners were obsessed with slagging off Mayo, whereas nobody gives a shite about Mayo. Sporting rivalry is something else. Well, I say 'rivalry', but... ah, ok, that made your inferiority complex worse. Got you. Someone ribbing you for being a massive culchie bogtrotter is not Dubliners furiously hating Mayo, it's Dubliners taking the piss... out of you... and your pretend Irish. Why badly transpose jackeen into Irish, when it's an English word? To appear super-patriotic? Because the effect is somewhat different than you perhaps imagined.
It's only a bit of slagging. The thing that Mayo folk need to understand is that Dubliners are actually very fond of Mayo. I loved it up there so much that I took one of your women home with me.
The end was brilliant.
Props for the Kavanagh lines in the middle. Flashback to secondary school English for a moment.
Wexford literally has one of the most unique accents in Ireland. We talk through our noses and have endless amounts of slang that only we know about.
I've watched a few videos summarizing Irish accents, and from what I can tell, no-one in Ireland knows what they sound like.
I also visited Scotland (as a western Canadian,) and was asked more than once if I was from Ireland.
I'm getting suspicious. Is Ireland a real place, or is it like Narnia?
I saw it from the air once, but that could have been Tir-na-Nog.
Shane H it's because Canadians pronounce there O's the same way as the Irish do
“Ireland is a mysterious magical place, maybe I saw tír na óg!” Yeah your Canadian alright 😂
I'm from the US. To be a lot of Canadiens I've met sound almost Irish
The first time we visited Ireland, we stopped at Blarney Castle (yes, we did the usual *tourist* stuff on that trip). A man with a thick French accent asked me to take a picture of him and his wife with the castle in the background. I obliged, and told him that it was my pleasure to do it.
As I handed his camera back to him, he asked me what part of Canada I was from.
I’ve lived in Texas my whole 50-year life, and my accent gives it away almost immediately. (Folks tell me that I have an accent, but I consider myself to be accent-neutral. Everyone ELSE has an accent.) :)
For the record, I’m an unapologetic Texas exceptionalist. Until our first vacation to Ireland, I would have NEVER given a thought to living anywhere other than my little slice of heaven on earth. That said, I would move to Ireland in a heartbeat....wouldn’t even pack a suitcase! I’d give my company to an employee, and I’d give my house to my daughter. Just park my truck and the airport and let the bank go pick it up! LOL
I have no clue whether I have an Irish bloodline, but Éire is in my blood!
Funny, I've been asked if I was Canadian by a few English. I'm from North Down, N. Ireland
This is very good, grew up between drogheda and ardee, nailed it
his kerry accent reminded me of my grandad, even the story was something a kerryman would say
I married a Kerry man fifty yrs ago got rid of him thirty eight yrs ago the most off the boat ignorant git I ever knew

I Love Eire, I've been there more than 10 times.
I feel in home always.
From a Welshman, who has travelled a little around the southern half of the Emerald Isle, my favourite would be the Galway accent, although on saying that the rest sounds very nice to my ears.
Well Galway is in the west, not the south so your directions are a little mixed up. Unless.....you meant you travelled around Ireland- or the ROI- not everything that isn't NI is "the South".
@@ranica47 I wasn't actually looking for a geography lesson thanks. PS I know exactly where Galway is.
You can divide Tipperary alone into at least 2 and maybe more. There’s even a difference between south tipp regions, Carrick and Clonmel for example
South Tipperary is in Offaly, so it would be similar to Kildare, Offaly and Laois. If you go to Athlone there is a right mixture between Midlands and the West. It's part Midlands part Roscommon. Mayo was left out and that is probably the most laud back accent, similar to the people,very easy going.
The two nicest sounding Irish accents are Galway and Donegal.
That midlands accent triggered me so hard . . . .
That one was my favourite :D
Even more ironic is that some of my peeps came from Cavan. xDDD
In fairness he fuckin nailed it.
how do you think the rest of feel having to listen to ye
Fascinating
The Midlands accent had me buckled!!!
I heard two distinct accents in Cork one that was remarkably similar to my native Tees-side,and by native I mean pack of bloody savages. However I would like to learn the accent of a gentle man who saw me watching the dancers at The Grand Parade .
He spoke under the band using the frequencies that the band wasn't using . He aspirated
everything and I could hear every word even there were about a dozen people on stage
He spoke right from the diaphragm not in his throat like a majority of English speakers
and he didn't have to speak loudly . I would love to speak in that accent I am good mimic and can do a lot of endlish and a few Newfoundland ones from around the Bay even but but would take a couple of weeks to nail it including idioms. Your man on this album is a Master
+1lightheaded I lived in Cork City for a few years, and I can tell whether someone's from The Marsh, the North side (whether Gurranabraher or elsewhere) or Douglas just from listening to them for a bit. (I'd say that shows there are more than "two distinct accents in Cork," wouldn't you?)
Aye, you've a fair pair of ears on you, lightheaded, but you'll need to listen a little closer still if you mean to suss out all of the various Cork accents. Cork is a fun town, albeit a bit on the seedy side (as all seaports tend to be). Best of all, it has a lively and varied music scene.
I played a lot of places in Cork, not least of which the legendary "Horse's Ass Bar," down by the Lee, just opposite the bus depot.
The best sandwiches in Cork are made by Benny McCabe; my favourite Benny McCabe quote is, "Always get the fat guy to make yer sandwich!" (I often played in his pub back then too.)
Dublin accent really sounds like liverpudlian.
Surprisingly impressive.
I wish English language well known comedy writer P.G Wodehouse should have also written books about Ireland so we could have also enjoyed a bit of hilarity about that region also.
I'm in Derry and I want to know what there is 0-5 of right this minute
wow he's so good
The Galway accent is sooooo on point! My Da sounded exactly like that whenever he was angry 😂🤣
This is most interesting so too of course. Although I am British English, I do have Irish ancestry too. Although I have not been there at all though. The different accents though can be almighty confusing though for sure too!
Thank you for the highlight there then too of course.
I have headphones on and could hear him move positions around the mic
RIP Niall Toibin
is that a map showing the average IQ of each counties population? because if it is, being from Belfast ,I know that the average IQ is way more than 6...it should be at least 9 or 10
+jmpmcd Where did you get the wit? Take it back see if you can get your money back
Going by you're logic, bar two counties, the entire country is retarded (
note that Waterford and Derry have 3 and 2..... accurate.
As a Laois man I can vouch for it being 3
Prolly people per square kilometer
After 'to hell or to Connacht' from Cromwell you'd imagine to most Irish of accents must be from there.
My family are from Cavan x 🍀
he nailed the drogheda one. im from there
Same
I have always thought that Donkey Aters sound Welsh - first time I have heard someone else say it
Midlands: 1:40-2:10 is a good reference for doing 'Outside Mullingar' by John Patrick Shanley
There’s a few different accents within Monaghan itself
This gave me a good idea as to how my ancestors spoke.
I like to practice my Galway accent often because it's the most recognizeable Irish accent in countries foreign to Ireland. (I'm Eastern Canadian.)
Brett Atkinson where you from? i'm from newfoundland.
+efilperpenfuhrer Newfoundland , a great place for accents. I went to MUN in 72 and it serves as gade 12 in Ontario. I learned to do a bit of half a dozen
including that one that is pushed through the adenoids in the back of your nose. People often think Newfs speak an Irish accent and there are a few
but mostly they are from coastal England . Those accents are gone from England . It;s the same with quite a few of the old names . Is there anyone left in England with the surname of Snooke I Knows two in Sin Jans ,now

My sister-in-law's Mother, Mary Elizabeth Dunphy, for eg., Sounds like She just got off the Plane from Ireland. I knew a Irish Squash Champion, John Fleury, Who Said he Met Some Newfoundlanders in Ireland and first assumed They were from some Other Part of Ireland. The Irish accent is There....English, too. Funny how You Meet Irish Bostoners and They got no Irish Accent...far from it. Thanks for your Answer.
I like the Towny accent (that of St. John's), pretty your average Northern American newscaster's accent.
How do you practice it? And what parts of it do think are different to other accents? (From Galway)
I was in Heathrow airport, waiting for a plane, and around me were couples speaking English with American, English, Irish, Scottish and Australian accents. The Irish accent was the most beautiful, but also the most difficult for this American to understand. I have no idea where in Ireland they were from, but it was a very strong accent. I was in a youth hostel in Toronto, and there were two young Irish men sharing the room. They both seemed like nice people, but took an immediate dislike to each other due to regional prejudices. One was from Dublin, the other from a small seaside town, I don't remember where. Was the antipathy town and country, political, religious? Whatever the source, It seemed totally unnecessary.
Probably anti capital city bias. You get the same in England, France Spain where people dislike the capital and usually because those in the capital look down on those from the provinces. Certainly very true in Ireland, Dubs think they're better than us in general, it's very irritating.
Tbf, dubs can be arrogant wankers and refer to everywhere that's not Dublin "the sticks". I doubt it had anything to do with town rivalries and more to do with condescension.
Any true blue Dubliner wishes we had our town back and not this cosmopolitan shit hole.
Well the snobs maybe think that, but i can assure you that people from Swords or anywhere else in north county Dublin, haven’t a single bad word to say about country people, sure most of north Dublin is country..
@@irishelk3 agreed.
Midlands and Southern accents are the best 😂❤️
ergh no, the Ulster accent is badass
Yeah over prouncing your g's is great
Midlands are the ugliest accent ever
Hon Galway

Genius.
A Drogheda accent and a Dundalk accent are very different. Drogheda accent has a certain Dublin twang and the R's are not pronounced in nearly all words. Dundalk can sound Northern at times and "hi" frequently said after a sentence.
It's pronounced, but very softly. Again, Norman influence I would say!
Bet most Americans wouldn't notice a difference between any of these. I'm from Birmingham and anytime I'm in Ireland at least one American asks me what part of Ireland I'm from.
This video is 100% funnier if you turn on CZcams's Closed Captions and follow along closely. Surprisingly it gets a few difficult words correct.
This Cavan accent is on point
Cork accent sounds like he's from Mumbai.
County Mumbai to you laddie
A mum baiiii
And yet the description box says he's from Cork! Lol
Can someone please put a time stamp to each accent?
WHERE WAS WEXFORD?!
Anyone know what the scale/values allocated to the counties represent on the screen here?
Rain fall
@@Tyler12ismynumber I don't think so. A cursory view, with the higher figures/darker colours concentrated in the west, might suggest so, but look carefully. It is a linear scale, and does Galway (value = 71) really receive over 35 times more rain than Derry (value = 2)?
Also why would Dublin be so different to the other east coast?
It has to be something else, but exactly what I don't have a clue!
I didn't understand the bit where he spoke about the usular r? When talking about Kilkenny Tipperary
Northern Irish accent makes me want to re-watch "The Fall" Great series.
What about Donegal ? :( It's quite different from Belfast or Monaghan and it was forgotten :(
The numbers on the counties are probably the amount of accents in that county
I moved back to Ireland, to Dublin, 6 years ago after having lived abroad. I thought the people in dublin had a strange accent, but that was because my parents were from Tipp and I thought all the Irish spoke like that.......Up Tipp
My favourite is Cyavan. Funny as
