I have a Brazilian friend who every now and again will say a word with a perfect Irish accent because that’s how she learned it. Catches you off guard every now and then lol
Don’t be discouraged, it doesn’t come naturally and there is good reason to do so. The Scots are generally awesome people and the world needs more fer’s, aye’s and nae’s in general.
Jus’ expose yerself tae sum more Sco’ish and ye’ll be jus’ fine, lad.
How about Northside Dubliners picking a Dub Southside accent to sound posher, or Southsiders picking a Northside Dub accent to sound more gangsta? It’s an actual thing. ^^
Speaking of Irish accents! First time I heard someone with a Cork accent I lost my shit. It sounds exactly like a Scanian (Southern Sweden) person speaking with an Irish accent. It’s delightful.
I’d rather dub the US variant a wildcard, based on it being the result of mixing English and all the other languages of settlers. Also, the US and its variations are very common and shadow the other variants which is somewhat sad.
No. Wild card is you learned English in a foreign non English native country and your accent is an absolute mess. You say Autumn but Taxi, color but wa(t)er, and maybe you call you cell phone your “Handy”.
I’ve done so many accents at this point I don’t even know what my real accent is anymore, but people always think I’m actually from New York or New Jersey until I start talking.
