Are you being serious? Do people form Liverpool and Manchester not speak the same language? Doesn't mean they sound the same....

I have watched the SPANISH speaking channels here in the states from South America, Mexico, Central America and have heard actresses and Penelope Cruz (Spain) speak and I guarantee you can not tell the difference between any of them.
Is millie an accent?
its not confined to one particular area, but there are pockets of it all over the place at they all sound the same?
Donegal all the way.
Also Spanish and French.

Has anybody else noticed that when you speak to a person from Kerry, they normall have to say the word "Kerry" at least twice in every sentence.
Oh sure tis different down in kerry.......Kerry, the only place to be from in Ireland. I was in Dublin yesterday,Kerry, and i bought a football, kerry, because we love football down in Kerry, I'm from Kerry by th way...Kerry....Diswashers....Kerry....TCP....Kerry!!!
I think this is suited for the Grinds my gears thread as well.....
Can't believe this thread is two pages long and nobody has mentioned Cheryl Cole's Geordie accent........
Like: Scottish
Dislike: Brummie
I prefer no accent as it's better when they say nothing at all and i suppose if they start to talk you could always stick something in their gub to keep them quiet...(and don't be thinking of anything vulgar)

How many American accents are there? All I can think off is New York, Cailfornian, Southern, Tennessee (country) and Texan. Probably haven't spent long enough or visited enough areas to know any more

Depends how tuned your ear is just like here.
There is a difference between New York and New Jeresy just as there is a difference between Dublin and Meath . Also there is a difference between Bronx and Queens just as there is a difference between Finglas and Coolock
Derry/Eastern Donegal.
That "naw" instead of "no" gets me all weak at the knees!
I just cannot stand the American accents that I've encountered through my travels but especially the west coast where they talk with a snozz full of snott it would seem.
Forgot about disliking the brummie accent. hartley hare memories come streaming back.
When I lived in Japan, we used to socialise with Peruvians and Argentinians, as well as Brazilians. True, they speak English similarly but I still like it.
I have a soft spot for the East European accents too.
was thinking about this the other day do you think many other countries have such diverse accents?
for all the size of this place everyone has different accents. you only have to travel 30 minutes up the road and its completely different in most places....

Aye 30 minutes? Try crossing the Bann and you get a whole new language, Ollstorr Skaats.
After 9 years in Oz, I still cannot tell the difference between the east and west and Adelaide. Mind you the indigenous people have a very different intonation and because English is oft times their 3rd. or 4th. language (cf. Liam Jarra Melbourne Demons AFL player) they cannot actually pronouce the "f" sound. Puck you pucka. The same exists in Papua New Guinea.
From what I have been told (by a Russian) there are no accents in Russia. I find it hard to believe but apparently it was standardised during the commy years.
I can sometimes recognise the difference between Canucks and Septics, but I now know a Nyaw Zulland ukksent. Some Kiwi words are very similar to how we say things in Ireland.
Oh, and Aghagallon is a Belfast accent if ever I heard one. Real Poleglassy if you ken
And the Auzzies are pissed off because there was a report today saying the Kiwi accent was alot more pleasant to the English ear. Wouldn't have anything to do with all the fecking whinging Australia has been doing about cricket?
I'm a sucker for a Scottish accent, but not a mad crazy Weegie accent, a nice soft Scottish accent. Also it's hard to beat the French weemin mmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Go 20 minutes out towards Pontoon in Knockmore and there's a different accent out there as well. Hard to pinpoint it, but you'd know they're living on a mountainside...

Fermanagh .
Soft Donegal accent.
Heaven.
I find the west coast american accent to not even really exist. Its like the american accent from the movies and tv. Its just american. The east and southern parts of the country are full of accents, and I enjoy most of them. Accents I like on women, or women that Ive met
1. South african
2. Welsh
3. West coast american
4. Texan
5. Dundalk :-\

Nail on the head. Although long term its not as Hot.
Scouse too
I think if a woman is soft spoken, talks like a lady and has a bit of class - then her accent doesn't really matter that much - unless its an English one of any kind.....
the Southern French accent has a harshness to it that I really like.
It all depends on the girl for me.....
Sucker for female nordie accents I'm afraid. That and the french.
Love:
Cork
Derry
Donegal
Hate:
Dublin (esp D4)

Can diferentiate between the Australian and New Zealand accent...... and indeed most English accents. But for the life of me I can't make out the different accents up North except the posh one ( called "North Down" I believe) only because I am told that the guy Sidney Elliot (I think) who does the TV coverage of the elections up there has it.
There is some amount of people here in Dublin from the country with the plumbest of "D4 accents" ......... bewildering stuff.
