Question for ye America, what is the origin of the Irish accent used in all your media? Like the cops going "at all, at all" and charecters like andrew ryan in bioshock?

I think you're referring to the Boston accent which is a bastardization of the Irish accent

That's like a early 1900's thing. And of course the origin are the Irish people themselves. Maybe it's people from the poorer region of Ireland that still had thick Gaelic accents.

probably cultural stereotypes that while completely unfounded, spread since the late 1800's when there was a lot of anti-Irish sentiment due to the amount of immigrants and were just assimilated and accepted as truth because it was simply spread so often

You said cops, and the comedic/stereotypical accent for the cops is an old one from the 1900's because a lot of Irish people got into civil servant jobs in the northeast.

I dunno man, presumably most of the people who emigrated were from the east coast so the likes of galway, kerry, sligo, mayo etc. and no one from there sounds like that it defintley is not the accent of an Irish speaker. It's something I have only ever seen in American media

That was a long time ago, I'm pretty sure the accents were different. They sure as hell were in America.

this, the American accent used to be completely differentso it's quite likely that the Irish immigrants did talk like the way they're often depicted
