Very much so, even within those regions. There are some fellow Scousers out there that I'll have little to no idea what they said based upon how strong their accent is. Sometimes I can piece together based upon context and a few words I do pick up.
For the most part though it just comes down to individual more than accent itself, the ability to enunciate. |

Geordies, technically we were speaking english. I went from getting the jist to nodding and making affirming noises.
The cork accent is a strong one.
I know people in Tennessee, to hear them code switch is amazing. When they return to Ireland, it takes a few days to revert to their irish accent. |
