What does a Donegal accent sound like?
It is difficult to describe an accent. You really have to hear it, or be familiar with a similar accent. A Donegal accent is basically a milder Northern Ireland accent, but is still al ot harsher than other counties in the Republic of Ireland. Despite Donegal having a Northern Ireland accent it is part of the Republic of Ireland. Accents are not determined by borders and as you travel around Ireland you have different accents, which slowly change as you go from one area to another.
Does the Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland accent sound the same to outsiders?
No they do not. There are many accents all around Ireland which are very different. Different parts of the Northern Ireland have very different accents. Different parts of the Republic of Ireland also have very different accents. So no matter where you are in Ireland, accents will sound very different.
Why is English spoken in Northern Ireland?
Answer - No they do not speak with a scottish accent, yes us Scottish & Irish have similar words but they speak with a different accent to those in the south, just like thos in Edinburgh have a different accent to us in Glasgow, or those in London have a different Accent to those in Yorkshire. Northen Ireland is near to Scotland so they accent will be similar, just think about those from Newcastle sound a mixture of Scottish & English, that's because Newcastle is near Scotland.iv lived in belfast for 3 yrs an have a belfast accent,im scottish though,it is so easy to pick up Irish accent,any Irish accent*Scottish Accents in Northern IrelandBecause the English encouraged Scots to settle there, hence the term "Scotch-Irish".It is NOT "Scotch-Irish", the correct term is "Ulster-Scots". And they were not "encouraged" per say, but rather forced from their land, it was actually the Protestant English that were encouraged to settle here. Secondly, as you may have noticed.... we don't speak with a Scottish accent!While many Scots did settle in the north of Ireland (and there are similarities between the two as compared with the Irish of the free state/Republic) Ulster men and women speak very differently than the Scots.Please don't compare Sean Connery with a bad version of the North such as Brad Pitt's in "A Devil's Own"!i am from northern Ireland there for my accent is northern Irish and people in the south have a southern accent, either way everyone in the whole of Ireland north and south have an Irish accent! the only people who speak with a scottish accent r the scottish!Depends on what you mean by 'Northern-Irish'. I am originally from Belfast but often I have difficulty in distinguishing a Donegal accent from my own (Donegal is the northernmost county in the Republic of Ireland). Defining the 'Northern-Irish' as the whole northern part of the island, at least in terms of accent, is probably more accurate than confining it to the six counties of Northern Ireland. Having said that, as someone who has lived away from Ireland for over a decade, I have noticed that in several counties south of the 9 counties of Ulster, such as Louth, one can hear northern vowel sounds (.e.g. "eight" prounced 'ee-ut', or "you" prounced 'yoo', or "now" prounced 'now-eeh'. Such a phenomena is not unique to Ireland. People in the Danish island of Bornholm speak Danish in a Swedish accent, and Swedes who live in the southern part of Sweden 'Skona', speak Swedish in a Danish accent.Northen Irish people speak with a Nothern Irish accent. I can appreciate that for outsiders they may sound similar but if your from N.I or Scotland, you will realise that they are distinctely different.Within in Northern Ireland there are a variety of discernable accents. Some Northern Ireland people living in North Antrim and East Down have broad accents which are more similar to the Scots than to those from Derry and Armagh.Northern Irish accents and those of some of the West of Scotland have similarities in vowels and in intonation - the way the accent stresses important words and syllables. There are differences between the accents but to an untrained or a non-local ear it can be really hard to distinguish between them. Actors doing a West of Scotland accent or a Northern Irish one can easily slip from one to the other, sometimes within 2 sentences! It should also be noted that there is not one generic Northern Irish or Scottish accent. There can be a huge variety with subtle differences from one village to the next.I am Southern but having heard Scottish accents and Northern accents I can distinguish between them. The Northern accent (also found in Co.Donegal and Co.Monaghan in the Republic of Ireland) is more drawling, and slower. The Scottish accent is faster and not as drawling.I can say that the Northern Irish do not speak with a Scottish Accent. However there are many different dialects and versions of the accent through the 9 counties. I am from a town called Larne which is only 25 miles away from Scotland, therefore I speak with a very "broad" northern Irish accent, and have been told many times that I am scottish. I suggest checking out two radio stations: BBC Ulster and BBC Scotland (www.bbc.co.UK) to hear the difference!They don't. You just can't tell the difference. Accents all over the world change about every 30-40 miles or so. My wife and I were in Chicago a couple of years ago talking to someone from San Francisco and we couldn't tell the difference between Chicago or Frisco accents but I'm sure there is. However, I do know a New York accent when I hear one - 'Hey goil, go to woik'.I'm from the east of Scotland, and my accent is very different from that, spoken in the west of Scotland. I always thought the west of Scotland spoke with a similar accent to the northern Irish due to the large influx of Irish workers that have settled there ? It all depends on how you look at it,I suppose?Lets just put it to bed lads... People from Northern Ireland speak prodominatly with a Northern Irish accent. This may sound closer to a Scottish accent than a full blown Irish accent does. It is not a Scottish accent. I could tell the difference after two words! In the same way I could tell the difference between a Dublin/Cork/Limerick accent or a Glasgow/Edinburgh/Highland accent. Maybe I have the advantage of a Scotsman living in Ireland. But all these accents are different!!!!They Dont have a scottish accent.......simple asNorthern Irish people do NOT have a Scottish accent. Or vice-versa. People from Northern Ireland have a Northern Ireland accent. People from Scotland have a Scottish accent. However a Glasgow-Scottish accent is different from an Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness or Dundee accent. Just as New York is different from Chicago, New Orleons or San Francisco. There is no such thing as an American accent.

Why is the Louth accent so different from the Northern accent and the Dublin one which are only a short distance away?
There are many reasons for this strange accent and dialect. Firstly, as the smallest and most unimportant county in Ireland, we desperately strive for our own identidy. Having an accent unlike any other is our way of saying "Yes, we're different and we proud of it".Secondly, many years ago (as strange as it may sound), inbreeding was very common in the greater Louth area. Smaller towns like Ardee grew in population and the younger generation stayed in the locality, instead of leaving for Dublin and Meath.Like all accents and dialects, this meant that people began to speak like their family and those around them.AnswerAnyway the Louth accent is hardly an awful lot different to the Northern accent. Its really Dublin which sticks out, not Louth. As you move towards the Dublin the accent has Louth tones in it but gets softer until you hit the greater Dublin area. Having said that the greater Dublin area extends to Drogheda now AnswerThe Louth accent is kind of like the Northern accent.. I'm from Louth and my friend is from Drogheda, the nearer to Dublin. She says she can hear the Northern accent In Dundalk people a bit. She has a Drogheda accent which sounds a bit like Dublin.. You would know which person is from which area in Louth, as they are the most common accents in Louth, but like every county in Ireland, theres good few different accents in Louth.

If you say beer can in a British accent and bacon in a Jamaican accent are you saying the same thing?
Yes and No Firstly there are very many accents in various parts of Britain, and a number of dialects, although the latter are gradually dying out. In a Jamaican accent, 'bacon' can sound similar to 'be-a-can' very much as someone from the north-east of England might pronounce 'beer can' so yes However, it will be pronounced differently in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland as well as in other regions of England so no it depends on where you're from
