With the heavy accents I can barely understand every other word in shows like Brassic or sometimes an English word that means one thing for Americans but with a period/place specific meaning so I am not sure what I just heard like in Derry Girls (1980's Northern Ireland) without captioning.
- RichardCA 4y agoI remember when "The Wire" came out, I started turning on captions because the Baltimore vernacular was so thick. And the Caucasian and African-American characters spoke separate dialects of it. Especially the constant use of "a'ight" as a contraction for "all right". Derry Girls is interesting in that the actresses sound mostly like trained Brits doing an Irish accent. I've never been to Ulster, I don't know how people actually talk there, maybe the Irish have a softer brogue from having to interact with the British/Protestant people they share the region with.
