The British-Irish Dialect Quiz (New York Times)
Thanks Charles Kranz
Thats great. Seems pretty accurate too, based on the few people in my office who’ve done it just now.
+1. Very accurate.
‘replied t’ this in the Twitter with Spag
I’d be too afraid ta test it in case they thought I was from Tipp
Thinking of taking it a second time but pretending I say ‘scone’ as in gone and see if I get booted out of Dublin and into Surrey. Stress-testing I think they call it.
well it is the correct pronunciation
Shut your filthy mouth.
My results suggested a mixture of the home counties and the Scottish lowlands, which is perhaps more accurate phonologically than geographically.
It found me too.
I was amazed to discover Kretschmar-Schuldorff country is a little salient of pronunciation
Ha, sickener for them, I haven’t lived in Ballybough since the 90’s!
“Ballybough”
When you pronounce this word does the “bough” sound like:
(I) cough
(II) cock
(III) All of the above
so annoyed did it twice and no map ….
I didn’t drop any aitches.
Does DIRT rhyme with YURT? Does DART rhyme with DORT? Then you’re an urban yokel, mate.
UKIP brexit crap.
