I read somewhere that it was Cork people that thought Jamaicans how to speak English, which gave them the accent. Don’t know how true it is, but makes sense!
Anyone have the link to that video of the Jamaican island that has cork accent, there’s karma whoring to be had.
That’s about 25 minutes of content for Blindboy now.
Had a lad from Jamaica go mad at me once for ,“taking the piss out of his accent for hours“ when I told him that was my accent and I’m from cork he nearly pissed him self laughing
The slave myth is just that. They where indenture slaves as where many of the pilgrims of Jamestown. Not to mention they where then slave owners as in chatal soon after again as with Jamestown. Its layer out correctly on the Internet.
>He told Newstalk: „I’m really proud of being from Cork, and for anyone trying to make fun of someone for being from Cork… they don’t get it. We love being from Cork.“
This is one of the most Cork statements I’ve ever seen. In all fairness though, I don’t think they’re making fun. The Cork accent isn’t the most stereotypical Irish accent people come across abroad so it’s probably just surprising to hear a similar accent to their own.
Any non-twitter link to the video? I wanna share with my Jamaican friends but don’t want to send them to musk’s site
>In the speech, Gould was criticising the Government over the housing crisis.
>He told Newstalk: „I’m really proud of being from Cork, and for anyone trying to make fun of someone for being from Cork… they don’t get it. We love being from Cork.“
An excellent quote given by the man after, reminds me of a Tommy Tiernan bit
Watch the radharc clip on YouTube where the priest goes to monserrat and interviews the locals. He says their accent could be mistaken for west cork
Tbh there seems to be as many Jamaicans in the comments saying the accents sound nothing alike
To me there is a very slight resemblance but it’s being a bit overblown. There’s a closer resemblance to some accents in the north and the American accent than this imo
From Cork originally (but working in Dublin now) and have always felt a huge affinity with Jamaica due to how similar the accent is to the Cork accent – even when I was a kid I thought this.
Big love to Jamaica 🇯🇲 💛
How is this news to people? The Irish connection to the British West Indies is well-documented. The African slaves learnt how to speak English from the vast swathes of Irish and Scottish indentured servants who were exiled to the sugar plantations under Cromwell. Even a lot of Caribbean celebrities like Rihanna and Bob Marley can trace some of their lineage back to Ireland
The important thing here is to completely ignore what he is saying regarding the housing crisis. He highlights that the only problem FFG can see is in how the disaster is being described.
to be fair wagwan and ah gwan are so similar
I worked in the USA and one of my colleagues genuinely thought I was from the Midwest of the USA for my first week. We had a laugh about it hut they explained that they hear Jamaican in a Scottish and Welsh accent too. Duh thats where they colonised first so thats the influence on their „english“ accents. Like a load of a irish went to the Midwest apparently.
I do love this guys accent too.
Was in Barbados in 2023 with a couple of mates and locals would constantly come up to us thinking we were Bajan. Was such a mad experience hearing the similarities in certain words and phrases and the fact that they were flat out on bottles of Guinness
