Scottish accent vs Irish accent (funny)

[rejmons]

I met once with an American and he told me: "I came to Scotland and after three days I've discovered, they speak English too!"

One time I tried doing a Scottish accent in front of a Scotsman, he told me it was "pretty good" but I "made too much sense."

I sat across the table from a drunk Irish man having a heated conversation with a drunk Scott, I didn't understand one word of what they said, but I listened for 20 minutes! 😂🤣

Interesting. We have a word in German that sounds like 'drisht', 'trist' and it means the same. Probably a relict from the Vikings then. :D

[MattiasWennberg]

You say that scots say ”drist weather”. In Sweden we say ”trist väder.”

And here I am from Eastern Europe and whenever I speak in english people think I'm a vampire... XD

He looks like the lost brother of Rooney.

The lad looks so Scottish, I could just see him eating a fish supper with a tin of Tennants in his hand.

Joke: The Irish made the bag pipes as a joke, and the Scottish took it seriously.

I'm from Alberta and when I first spoke to Newfie family with a very strong Newfoundland accent, I kept thinking they sounded Irish but also Canadian. Had no clue they were from Newfoundland until they said (while laughing quite a bit since they knew how strong their accents were to many). You can certainly tell there are Irish roots in the Maritime provinces because I've noticed a lot of pronunciation similarities between them and the Irish. It's pretty dang cool. I adore the Scottish and Irish accents (ALL of them). I'd love to travel there someday. Thanks for sharing your missionary memories with us, Elder.

Lovely to see his enthusiasm these different accents! Funnily, me being German, I don't very much like listening to regional accents/dialects in my mother tongue, but I love hearing almost all the varieties of spoken English.

He's a good lad. He's got the lingo down.

I think Irish people are in the most unique position because we can understand what everyone is saying.

[killslay]

actually the best attempt at a Scottish accent I've heard from an American. even though you did pronounce dreicht wrong... today in Scotland it's so unseasonably hot we'd call it "taps aff weather"

[jeffmorse]

You look like you're a native to either place.

The southern accent (USA) is often said to be “sing songie.” The area was settled by English, Irish, Scots-Irish, with a few Germans thrown in the mix.

We used to have a family friend that moved here from Scotland and I enjoyed so much listening to her talk.
