The Northern Irish accent is distinct from, but very similar to, the Irish accent. And even within NI there are two main variations, as well as numerous other less obvious differences within the country. As I have already said above, the UK has a remarkable range of accents. For example, Salford, in Greater Manchester (Where, incidentally, many yidden live) has a slightly different local accent to Central Manchester, as do many of the nearby districts, despite ostensibly being part of the same city and only several miles apart. This incredible variety was bought into greater focus when there was a manhunt on for a serial killer. They had one tape from somebody claiming to be responsible, and analysts were able to narrow it down to an area a few streets wide in one area of a particular city.
