I did enjoy this video very much. I am writing from Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My father's paternal side, was originally from Donegal. They traveled to Newfoundland, in the 1840s, settling in Harbor Grace. I thought that it was very effective, the choice that you made to put together a series of miscellaneous media clips, which gives a more well rounded representation, of the accent as a whole - its common similarities, subtleties and variations. Have always been curious about how the accent sounds, so I thank you so much for posting! Cheers!

The Inishowen accent is the nicest to my ear. I worked in Killybegs for a few years, it took me about 6 months before I understood everything I was hearing. e.g. There was a girl called Jimmy, which I found extremely odd, until one day it clicked and I realised her name was actually Gemma.

American and Irish accents aren't all that different, although most Irish folks won't care to admit it. A lot of Irish people who move to English speaking countries with different accents like the UK will start to sound kind of American, especially people from further North like Dublin, Meath and Donegal. My father's parents are from Donegal and their accents are pretty diluted. But my mother's parents are from Cork and their accents are still fairly strong. A lot of American accents stem from Irish accents as well due to the massive amount of Irish immigration to America. So I wouldn't feel too bad about the mistake even tho it might offend your friend a bit. Young Irish people seem to have a bit of annoyance towards Americans even though America was built on Irish shoulders
