Hip Hop music least popular in Ireland , study says
. . can 't share a link because this story recently was on German t.v. There were interviews with urban kids conducted from all across Europe, including Ireland. Apparently the Irish aren't that into Hip Hop. - - - Now . . those of you who read my posts may know that I take quite a mild position on Hip Hop ( the music as such , NOT the groids doing it . .) but . . . . many people , until today , associate Hip Hop with 'black ghetto culture'. You know, "doin' 'G's' , sellin' crack . . ." etc. Apparently not so in Ireland . . - - - - The Irish , for European standards, are said to be a very traditional county, still . . . Some malevolently even call that 'rustical'. A lot of rural land, lot of tradition , "pub-culture". - - - - Anyway , out of all European countries , Ireland seems to be the place where Hip Hop falls on deafest ears. - - - - Hmmm . . I wonder what 'Everlast' would say to that . . . https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Pain |

Peter Casey, running for EU parliament isn't afraid to refer to himself as racist:

Well of course how could any music ever compare favorably to Irish music?

The Irish ,if you ask me, often have that whiskey-celebration flavour in their voices . .
I do not mean that in a negative way, i. e. that they're all drunk-asses but that they are a very customs-conscious people And . . I know I've said it on this forum many times . .the Irish pronounciation was more or less the precursor of American English in contrast to for example the English spoken in England . . The U.S. did start out as an English colony but since the beginning of the 1800s more and more Irish settled there even to the point that the original 'British English' spoken there took on an Irish pronounciation. . British English . . Irish pronounciation . . |

I think at the core Irish pronounciation for English was the root of 'American English' . . For example , a person from England for the word 'car park' would pronounce 'cuh puk' while and American would emphasize the r's , 'carr parrk' . . . Or he wouldn't say 'city' , emphasizing the 't' , but would pronounce it 'ciddy' . . . you know what I mean. The basics for American English I think was the pronounciation of Ireland. The Irish influence into American culture can be seen by 'Wild West' phenomena such as banjo playing , drinking whiskey , dancing reel et al . . The U.S. did start out as an English colony , so the Founding Fathers a la Washington , Jefferson et al must still have spoken British but from 1800 on more and more Irish moved there . . This was also the high phase of the American 'Wild West' from about 1800 to 1900 which was comprised like I said of banjo playing , whiskey drinking folks. You have an interesting theory as well but for me it is out of question that the U.S.A. was heavily influenced by Ireland. |

Interesting with what you say about the r's and the t's in some words here the t is pronounced very hard, much harder than in America but in some words the t is not pronounced at all. A double t in the middle of a word won't be said at all for example the word kettle will be said "keh-ul" or battle "bah-ul" or little "lih-ul." But in other words the t will be pronounced very exaggerated in a word such as shout, water, wait, which to me sound like "shoud," "wadder," "waid" when an American says it. The rs here sound much more exaggerated than the American rs too in words like car, heart, and so on. Then we have h's pronounced here in words a lot for example in "white" you will hear the h but even in words that don't have an h for example water sounds more like "what-her" and red like "rhed." All that comes from Ireland if I'm not mistaken but those are things I really don't hear in an American accent. The stereotypical American to me and Americans I met lack the stereotypical Irish personality of being very merry and jovial, they're more stereotypically impatient, always in a rush, and not as happy or polite.

Largely two things separate British and American ( in the long run ) . . That the Americans much more emphasize the 'r' ( like I said , "car park" - - > British "cuh puk" ; American 'carr parrk' ) and that t's are often made d's ( 'city' - - -> 'ciddy' ; 'sexuality' - - > 'sexualeddy' . .) . . Listen to many Irish people speaking , that accent in the long run originates in Ireland . . Concerning the rest of what you wrote . . Yes , the USA has different dialect zones. I once heard that for example the Boston area still has an accent which sounds a lot like British , that New York has its own accent and , most of all , that people in the American south have a characteristic accent. Well .. Boston is in the New England states , New York has seen lots of European ethnicities and , concerning the south . . I once heard that the American South was heavily influenced by Scotland ( most people there seem to have had that ancestry ) even to the point that many claim the American Southern dialect was influenced by Scottish. I have never been to the U.S. (even though I plan to . .) yet these are interesting facts. |
