    North Ireland has a more Scottish-like accent. East coast Irish accents sound slightly more "English". South Munster accents have an influence over the Anglo-Caribbean.

    Do you think they sound similar to West Country English rhotic accents?

    My best friend in London said he's from County Louth, but his accent is like a combination of Lancastrian, Liverpudlian, and Irish as he's lived in England for many years. My long-time Irish friends living in London and Wales from Cork and Tralee sound different to him though.

    Some of my Anglo-Irish cousins in County Kerry sound a bit like some of my aunts and uncles and relatives in the English counties of Somerset and Dorset in the West Country. Their English father has a strong West Dorset accent which may've influenced my cousins accents.

    West Country accents in England are stereotyped with farmers and there's a lot of farmland there and a similar landscape to Ireland (lots of cottages, farmland, fields, ancient sacred stone circles, etc.)

    Kerry accent to me sounds like a Jamaican or Barbadian speaking English (rather than Patois/Creole), but without the African input if that makes sense.

    To me people from Waterford, Wexford, and Kilkenny sound the most "West Country" England.
