RRRRussian :)

A SCOTTISH PERSON CAN TELL THE WORSE JOKE EVER AND IT STILL COMES OFF BEING FUNNY.

I’ve never met an accent I didn’t like!

Swedish, because I was a viking in a past life.

love philipino and dutch accents. can't cope with the Coro street accents- esp the shouty women.

For some reason I hate posh English accents for men but find them very attractive and charming on a woman

British and Scottish

I love the geordie accent alas it seems it has almost disappeared. Last time I was over in the UK, pre COVID, it was extremely hard to find anyone in Newcastle that had the accent. Edited 04-Jan-21 16:57pm

Hi Leonora. POM is a term reserved for ex English. Many explanations from where it originated but concensus seems to suggest it refers back to the "treansportation days" of prisoners hence Prisoner of Mother England. Another suggestion is that it is rhyming slang for immigrant (pomegranite). Have a happy and safe New Year to all

Irish. Can be sexy

Aussie of course

Only my mother tounge

Absolutely New Zealand accent it sounds like a combo of posh English and Australian and I love it, as an Australian I hate our accent of course but secondly I also like some great English accents. I can’t understand what most Irish and Scottish are saying dint know why they’re so popular. Edited 03-Jan-21 22:32pm

Irish is definitely my favourite but also like Scottish, don't know why just do.

Like the Southern Irish accent - so becoming.

french

There is nothing nicer than the Rolling RRRRs of a Scott's man, followed by a typical A Australian, have a friend a true bushie, I have to really listen close to understand him but he makes me laugh with his lingoEdited 03-Jan-21 20:54pm

Scottish remind me of my Nana and the book called Wonky Donkey which is hilarious when read by someone with a Scottish accent. Also love listening to Irish accents.

french so sexy

The topic Accents always reminds me of a company called 'Accent Blinds' which has been providing window furnishings in the Sydney, Hunter Valley and Newcastle area for over 30 years. I remember watching many Accent Blinds ads in the 90s (my high school years!). Always been a mystery to as to what Accents has to do with blinds? *Shrugs*. That is until I looked up the meaning of the word 'Accent'. Turns out 'Accent' has another meaning, other than to do with speaking : It means to 'Emphasize' a particular feature! Of course, I thought to myself! The window blinds emphasize the window portion of a room especially when combined with Sunlight! So now, having made this discovery, I'm sure the other meaning of Accent, to do with speaking - has the same effect! Emphasizes the talk! Irish Accent is definitely my favourite! :-)Edited 03-Jan-21 19:22pm

I think it's hard to beat a lilting, soft Irish accent, although Welsh comes fairly close. There's a softness but still strong.

Yorkshire ba gum.

American accent because it is so clear. Good to listen and rolls off the tongue

There are many accents that I like. Each one unique to the persons language. My dad was Irish from Southern Ireland which was different to the accent of the people from Northern Ireland, also my future son in law is South African and he has a beautiful accent. Of course I love the Australian accent. I have lived most of my life in Australia, originally from the UK but people still pick up my English accent but when I talk to my cousins in the UK they say I sound like an Aussie. Language and accents are very intriguing Great discussion thank you.

Irish accent; love it!

Aussie of course

FRENCH, KIWI, AFRICAN

English.

French it sounds romantic. Canadian is a nice language too not as harsh as American.

I just love the American accent

I love the fact that people have said they love the British or American accents...there are so many to choose from...some of them have problems talking among themselves...do they like them all?

American for me.

With the exception of that of Northern Ireland (I am indidgenous Irish) most accents are great

English are my favorite

Irish to be sure, to be sure

Depends on who is speaking I would think. Some have a way a using the languages in a very sensual way or a very classy way which can be captivating. I like French, Italian, Irish, Australian of course but others also. However, I do not like the harsh strident accents that just grate on me nerves.Edited 03-Jan-21 14:26pm

Some are very hard to understand. My wife is Filipino and certain words/letters she says sound different. Z is C, E is A. My 5 year old grandson has an American accent with certain words but I think he gets that from using a phone/ Ipad games. I love Scottish and Irish

I think they're all good - just different.

Aussie but im probably bias italian indi they always sound happy

British accent and Singlish because it's unique and funny.

IRISH BROGUE WOULD HAVE TO BE MY FAVOURITE. I LOVE THE SING-SONG QUALITY TO THEIR VOICE. I THINK MY SECOND FAVE WOULD BE FRENCH. THEIR VOICE INVOKES IMAGES OF ROMANCE AND POETRY.

Too many from all around the world but my favourite is the soft lilting Welsh followed by the West Indies which is very similar

I fall for a Scottish accent every time. 3 Scottish boyfriends and I'm part Scot.

Scottish and Irish are wonderful.

A lady with a Southern accent. I can't resist...

As a former POM now proud Aussie, the Kiwi accent always makes me smile :-)

French sounds nice

Aussie through and through

Having - in my long distant English youth - been a backpacker (hitch-hiking as we called it) across Europe many times, I fell in love 'literally' with romantic accents, especially French and Italian which saw me lingering longer than I should have. Scandinavian accents too caused more than a frivolous flutter but my heart was stolen in a Youth Hostel in Italy by young man asking, "Jeez are you a sheila?" because of my very short hair. I had no idea what he was saying. Last week we celebrated 55 years of marriage. Edited 03-Jan-21 11:52am

I like English accents.

Indlish or Singlish are good

Love the Irish, Scottish and French accents in that order. Loved to hear Sean Connery speak just to listen to the sound of his voice.

Australian of course!

I like all accents but I’m not a fan of mangled English. I don’t mind lingual errors from non English speakers but it’s really annoying when it’s the mother tongue

Love the South African and Danish. Do not like New Zealand

Irish for sure

I think I enjoy Irish and Scottish accents the most. Perhaps it is some deep recognition of mixed heritage. If I heard a Viking accent I might like that as well!!

i love the english from yorkshire and the north of england but you drive from village to village and the accents are differant love them i,m from cornwall so thats didfferant again

Dutch, German, French, English.

My partner is Scottish and I love the accent, also don't mind some British ones either.

SOME ACCENTS NEED SUB TITLES ON THE TELLY SCOTISH, IRISH AND SOME PARTS OF ENGLAND DON'T LIKE THE AMERICIA ONES

Scottish..yum

Brittish for sure

My altime favorite is Irish such a cool accent from a brutal race, close second is Scottish but not Glaswegian with their dropped letters....sounds like im becoming a grumpy old man...lol

Australian and Scottish

Sarah Milligan’s... it’s funny

French

irish

Australia

Irish or Scottish

I have a thing for America's southern drawl (is that what you call it?) and their Boston accent.

Scottish accent. My ancestry. It is in my blood.

French is the sexiest

I speak English about 25% of the time with Indonesia and Malaysian making up the other 75%. I know the people around me find my Indonesian language spoken with an Australian accent to be quite humorous.

I think French is quite sexy.

Anyone except yankees

Irish & Scottish - the rolling of the rrr's always gets me!

American for me. Oh and anyone from the UK!

Martian.

A person born in Brooklyn (borough of New York City - USA) - it is very interesting to listen to someone with a Brooklyn accent - you know they are from Brooklyn (their accent gives them away) - they are speaking English - yet - you do not have a clue to WHAT they are saying (speak patterns completely throws - me)!Edited 03-Jan-21 02:56am

Irish - wonderful lilt, almost poetic

I love American accents!

Scots, Irish and then Scandinavians...its my heritage I think...Celt and Viking Edited 03-Jan-21 00:05am
