Well. At one stage all of Dublin was the Viking 'side'. Same goes for all of Dublin being the 'English' side at one point.


The Southside is known to be a bit more posh and uppity. Their accents generally sound more British than those on The Northside.


For some reason there has been this small rivalry between the two sides forever and I honest couldn't tell you why.


Yeah sure. I'd be down for that. I could you use a nice ring, TBH.

Oh my God. 


You and Hypnos have the British (isles) equivalent of street accents?! I can't wait for this moment. @Fezzes, make the damn chat!


So, what you're saying is, yes. You're the child of a Viking? That's all I needed to know, Fordee. 


Edit: The low quality shit posting coming from me right now. Jesus Christ, even when I'm drunk I'm better than this.

It can't be Whipit. HE IS NEVER HERE! @JustWhipIt


@Archon is also too heartless.

You seem to be implying that it won't be you, for clueing me in that Fordee-baby was Irish. If it can't be you, then it's @Hypnos for sure. Actually, no. A tossup between him and @Leusis. And if some of the people I mentioned are female and thus ineligible to be best man... uh... whoops?

I'm sorry, but what even was that grammar. I could you use a nice ring. That means nothing.


...I bet it sounds nice when you say it, though.

I am honored! As your best man, I will go and get the bachelor party ready immediately. 


And, since you love the Irish accent so much, I decided we're going somewhere extra special!

YA HUR PEOPLE TAELKIN LIKE DIS!


I can't wait to hear you now. I am 100% convinced I won't understand any of you, I'm bad enough at understanding the Serbian accents and Belarusian accents (migrants who come over every Summer for work). You people will be a nightmare.

I think you're going to be underwhelmed with just how damned understandable I am. Although you might not be able to get a clear read of the Sydney accent because I have a habit of slipping into silly voices and ridiculous accents briefly every now and then.

You said you don't know American accents too well? I think you'd be surprised at how impressed I am with anything that sounds vaguely different and pleasant to my ears.


Apart from the French Canadians, those obnoxious bastards - fuck'em. I'll keep the women, but fuck the mushy faced men!. . Yeah, back to accents. Apart from those we don't have a lot of unique and pleasant accents,some like Spanish accents but.  .I'm not big on Spanish, Italian (actual Italian, not Italian-American) or too many other Romance derived accents. Doesn't sound pleasant to my ears. 


So, the bar is very low. You'd have to be from Kansas to miss it.

Illusion mildly shattered. Not all of those are as downright sexy as I thought. Ah, well. The Northside Dublin was ranking highly, so you're still muh bb


How the hell do you lot have such accent variation in such a tiny area? Australia could never do anything like that. Either that or I just can't tell the difference for shit.

I know, right? I'm not 100% positive on this, but I think the reason there are like, dozens of accents in the British isles is because of the relatively deep history. At least compared to our countries. We mainly came to where we are with the language. Somethings changed around, but not drastically. 


England had a few languages before Old Anglish came, and then Middle Anglish, and it mutated and like. . . It's the product of different languages mixing, I wanna say. Borrowing different words and constantly keeping things fresh.

I'm pretty sure most places have different accents depending on which part of the country you're from, but you'd only really know if you're from there. To me everyone from France sounds the same but I'm sure they wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a scouser and a brummie.

Probably also with the deeper history thing, England was doing stuff since transport tech wasn't great, so the individual places had a lot less interaction and mingling of accents to form one, and that's held over into the age of technology.

Let's not forget the best accent.  . Language? The best part of your country.

Yup, yup. Lotta isolation in some areas I imagine led to either little change or rapid change. Like. . The American Accent, as it stands today, is supposedly close to an older English accent. Not much has caused it to change.

I'm not really sure Welsh is even a real language, I'm sure it's just a massive running joke in their country to start speaking nonsense and pretend to understand each other. I mean half of their words don't even have any vowels.

So, what's worse? Welsh or Polish? I hear complaints about both constantly.

I couldn't say, obviously in my life I've met more Welsh people than Polish since we're so close but hardly any of them actually speak Welsh, on the other hand I rarely hear the Polish actually speaking their native language so neither is really an issue.

Oh come on! This isn't how the game works, you're suppose to hate one or both with a burning passion!


Look, Fezze'll demonstrate. 


@Fezzes


People from New Zealand or South America? Which is worse? 
 
. . .I thought I put South Africans, sticking with the Anglosphere.


But that legit has me dying. I never expected to see that when I refreshed the page.
