Nothing - Brogue is a nicer word tho. It gives a feel of a warm strong rolling speech that Accent doesn't. It just about word choice like calling something "Ultramarine" is more interesting than Blue.

Acctually a brogue is different from an accent. listen to an accent then listen to a brogue you will see that there are many differences. Maybe I am wrong and biased because of my Irish and Scottish heritage, but as far as I am concerned there is a huge difference. Think Billy Boyd vs. Orlando Bloom there is a huge difference between the two. Also there are differences between the brogues themselves. the Irish brogue is (sorry to any scotts reading this) a little easier to understand. of course most of the Scottish folk I've heard (other than Billy Boyd) have very thick accents.

What is the term for the Irish accent?

The proper term is "Hiberno-English".Another Answer:To add to the previous poster's answer, here are the top two results for "brogue" from dictionary.com:1) brogue, n.A heavy shoe of untanned leather, formerly worn in Scotland and Ireland. A strong oxford shoe, usually with ornamental perforations and wing tips.[Irish, and Scottish Gaelic bróg from Old Irish bróc, shoe, possibly from Old Norse brk, legging, or from Old English brc. See breech.]2) brogue, n.A strong dialectal accent, especially a strong Irish accent.[Probably from the brogues worn by peasants.]The person who asked the question should've asked what language (s)he was looking for the term. This is because, in American English, due to its connotation, brogue would be the word to describe an accent of Irish or Scottish (and maybe British) origin, but only an accent from that region. You'd never hear someone say, for example, "Japanese brogue." Another Answer:From the perspective of an Irish person. Within Dublin there's the 'D4' accent, southern dublin accent (similar to the wicklow accent) the inner-city dublin accent (very unique with respect to all other accents).Then the two other most distinguishable differences in accent is between the north and the south of Ireland. And within the south of Ireland there's the Dublin and greater Leinster accents, then Cork and Galway have their own aswell. (an Irish person can tell which county another is from by their accent.The true Irish accent would be the 'bogger' accent towards the west. As the accent in the north has notable scotish similarities, coming from the plantation of Ulster. And the Dublin accent, and the accent of any area that belonged to the pale, has had English accent influence.That is not to say that the dublin accent is similar to the English accent. But it has about 400 years of speaking the English language to influence it.Whereas the 'bogger' accents formed when the people were speaking Gaelic. Only really having adopted the English language in the last 150 years.This could also explain the sudden distinction in accents between all the counties. They are all smaller communities/counties whose accent is adopting to the English language, but only recently. :)Thus, the 'bogger' accent is the most Irish of the accents in Ireland, As it was adapted to speaking Gaelic only until recently. This accent needs, to some extend, to be copied by dublin people when attempting to speak the Irish language.Interestingly, the people of Donegal are a unique case. Their accent worked around Gaelic until fairly recently. In fact there are still small areas that talk Irish. (Gaelteachts) However, the Donegal accent is to a large extent distinguishable as being from the noth of Ireland.Interestingly this accent is from Gaelic speaking communities, who interacted with settlers who were for the most part scottish. They had, however adopted the English language nearly as long as dublin had, thus the donegal accent is an accent that is only beginning to adapt to English, and has a notable influence from scottish settlers, whose accent was becoming accustemed to the English accent :)Interestingly, in the suburbs of Dublin there is also accents specifiv to each region. These accents are a combination of the dublin accent, and 'bogger' accents from people coming from the country. Most of the people who settled in the Dublin suburbs came from the country-side. Thus generating particular accent from the diverse mix of linguistics from various 'bogger' accents.The most difficult to figure in a drunk I have ever encountered.
