What does an upper class Irish accent sound like?

There can't be that many upper class people living in Northern Ireland. Maybe upper middle class.

I say it more like "prezentation" than "prezintaysion". Might be because I'm Hispanic?

Me too, probably has to do with being Hispanic as that's the way most people say it in Miami.

Educate yourself on the origins of the Northern Irish accent before asking such a question.

People from Northern Ireland do not speak with a Hiberno Dialect!

To my ears the pronunciations sound like this:

Moscow
UK: moss-ko
US: mahs-cow

Data
UK: dayta
US/Aus: dahta

Defence
UK/Aus: def-ence
US: dee-fence

I say Data too

A lot of Americans say those words like the UK/Aus version too. Mostly people from the NE I've noticed.

You would still talk with a northern Irish accent if you consider yourself upper class or not lol

I say "Moscow" like moss-cow, "Data" like dahta, and my pronunciation of "Defense" actually depends on the situation. For example: If I said "In my defense" I would pronounce it "def-ence" but if I said something like "the Dolphins have a strong defense" I would say it like "dee-fence". No idea why.
