Accents on the Isle of Man

Is there much variation when it comes to accents on the Isle of Man? (ie. difference between rural Isle of Man and the city of Douglas).

Which accent in Britain does it most resemble?

The same to what? There are all sorts of accents in Britain.

Manx is a bit of a mixture between Liverpool & Lancashire, with a bit of Ulster thrown in for good measure. As for variations - I have no idea. All my relatives sound on the Scouse side of manx,(they're from Douglas) but I have friends over there who sound more as if they're from Northern Ireland than Liverpool.

OP, the IoM is so small, and Douglas isn't a city, that a major difference can't be seen. If anything people in Douglas are less likely to be Manx so they won't have a manx accent at all. Scouse is derived from Irish so if there is a similarity it won't be that the islanders are copying the scallies way of talking, that is left to people from the Wirral / Ormskirk etc.

Thanks for the responses.

I was looking up info on the IoM and something like 35% of residents there are English.

There was a brief mention of accents in Douglas and those in rural areas.
