I worked with an Irish guy once, most of what he said fell straight into the unintelligible bucket lol

It’s like that here. I struggle to understand my nieces and nephew who live just 30km away. In Wales the north and south are like two different languages. We joke about it. @ozgirl512

@Blodyn regional variations are kind of cute :)

Blodyn · 22-25, F

They so are. @ozgirl512

@Blodyn that they are!

My little nieces and nephew are the children of Karen, the third of my sisters. And they live in Llansamlet. It’s not far away. But it’s over the Loughor and might as well be on the Moon! @ozgirl512

@Blodyn we point have slight regional differences here, and I'm guessing that time the main driver behind them

@ozgirl512 it may be because in the past 30 km was a big distance!

@Blodyn exactly, most never left their villages

And now it is rare for Carmarthenshire people to go east. @ozgirl512

@Blodyn I'll take your word for that ;)

@ozgirl512 We don’t like crossing the Loughor!
