Which? My south Dublin husband sounds nothing like someone from Cork or Belfast!

My college roommate’s parents were from Ireland and I couldn’t understand a word they said. I didn’t realize they all didn’t speak like Bono.

But do they sing like Bono?

I grew up in Pittsburgh, and there are some great Pittsburgh accents out there. God Bless my Uncle because he is one of those guys you can pick out of a crowd and now where he is from.

Where can we hear some of the great Pittsburg accents?

NP. Try YouTube. Having known several people from Pittsburgh, it's worth a listen.

Scottish
Then Northern English but Lancashire, Mancunian, Liverpudlian slightly > Brummie or Geordie. Essex, Estuary is lowest on that list, then Welsh. (It's still higher than any following accent though, which would start to include Irish, New Zealand, Australian. Unfortunately Elon ruined South African)

Very specific

Well it is a thread on accents after all. It's nice to get people who have an ear for accents on here.
