Hi All,
This little clip has went viral, does the guy actually speak like this or is he just putting the accent on?

Doesn't sound Derry at all to me
More like Larne, Ballymoney or that directionNO MORE HANDWASH GLITCHES PLEASE
:D0 -
Definitely a west of the Bann accent. The reporter mentioned that he is from Park which is south of Dungiven. If I did not know it was from Park, I would have guessed a very rural Tyrone accent.
It is beyond me why it went viral.
PS. Rural Derry accent is much different to city of Derry accent.0 -
It does sound Dungivenish but I do think he's putting it on Sir!!~We are all going to hell and guess who Is driving the bus~*Norn Iron club Member 294* (Hi, we’ve had to remove part of your signature.

He is for real, I know a few folk from Park and they sound quite similar, although his accent is a lot more pronounced.
He is a very intelligent young man and can speak 3 languages according to the news reports. Having said that out of English, Culchie and Parkish I only count English as a proper language :rotfl:
As for it being a 'Derry accent' it is most certainly not :eek: The 'Derry Accent' is a lot more faster, high pitched, grating on the ear :rotfl: I should know I hear it every day
His is a proper "Culchie" accent I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:0 -
Well, I hope at the very least he is getting some more hits on his own Youtube video (bad as it is) out of this, it's a real eye-opener as to how quickly Unilad, etc, etc, etc. jump onto hosting videos like these to make their advertising revenue off the back of it.0
