To be sure to be sure!! The new Alexa is to have an Irish accent..

The company has spent months making sure that when activated, localised “th” sounds differ from those in the US or Britain. Similarly, words ending with “ght” will sound more like the Dublin “sh” than the British “t”.

As well as the new accent, Amazon has started to recognise Irish phrases that will respond to queries such as “Alexa, what’s the craic?” and: “Alexa, who’s your man?”

The new accent will only be available in a female voice, for now.
