I met once with an American and he told me: "I came to Scotland and after three days I've discovered, they speak English too!"

One time I tried doing a Scottish accent in front of a Scotsman, he told me it was "pretty good" but I "made too much sense."

I sat across the table from a drunk Irish man having a heated conversation with a drunk Scott, I didn't understand one word of what they said, but I listened for 20 minutes! 😂🤣

Interesting. We have a word in German that sounds like 'drisht', 'trist' and it means the same. Probably a relict from the Vikings then. :D

And here I am from Eastern Europe and whenever I speak in english people think I'm a vampire... XD

He looks like the lost brother of Rooney.

Joke: The Irish made the bag pipes as a joke, and the Scottish took it seriously.

You say that scots say ”drist weather”. In Sweden we say ”trist väder.”

The lad looks so Scottish, I could just see him eating a fish supper with a tin of Tennants in his hand.

He actually looks like he could be from Ireland or Scottland! Lol

I'm from Alberta and when I first spoke to Newfie family with a very strong Newfoundland accent, I kept thinking they sounded Irish but also Canadian. Had no clue they were from Newfoundland until they said (while laughing quite a bit since they knew how strong their accents were to many). You can certainly tell there are Irish roots in the Maritime provinces because I've noticed a lot of pronunciation similarities between them and the Irish. It's pretty dang cool. I adore the Scottish and Irish accents (ALL of them). I'd love to travel there someday. Thanks for sharing your missionary memories with us, Elder.

He's a good lad. He's got the lingo down.

This noise I never knew could be made 2:19

I think Irish people are in the most unique position because we can understand what everyone is saying.

Lovely to see his enthusiasm these different accents! Funnily, me being German, I don't very much like listening to regional accents/dialects in my mother tongue, but I love hearing almost all the varieties of spoken English.

Moral of the story: Both Scots and Irish people say "so it is" at the end of sentences... so it is.

You look like you're a native to either place.

actually the best attempt at a Scottish accent I've heard from an American. even though you did pronounce dreicht wrong... today in Scotland it's so unseasonably hot we'd call it "taps aff weather"

The southern accent (USA) is often said to be “sing songie.” The area was settled by English, Irish, Scots-Irish, with a few Germans thrown in the mix.
