Poll: Best Accent Worldwide?

[Lady Nilstria]

Nothing beats a Scotsman.

Sean Connery.

His voice is absolute gold. <3

Except maybe Texan, but then, I'm prejudiced to a true Texan accent. :3 And I'm not talking about all those cheap imitations that try to emulate the majesty that is the Texan accent, and fail even more miserably then folks trying to speak Australian, (or heaven forbid, those that can't tell the difference between Irish and Scottish). Country Texan. That's the stuff.

As an American, I've got to say I find British accents very pleasing. Everything just sounds better. Hot chicks sound hotter, cusses are funnier, and everyone just sounds smarter. Even the really thick people with british accents sound smarter than they should.

Australian accents come in a close second, however.

Sean Connery.

His voice is absolute gold. <3

Perfect example of what I'm talking about.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

woah, woah, woah... we canadians have accents?

Have you been to the Ottawa valley? Or Newfoundland? Or B.C? Valley is very noticeable, since it is where i'm from.

personally, i like scottish.

 

[The Rookie Gamer]

Either South African, or Scottish(not sure which type)

 

[Chappy]

Other - I like Norwegian, and just the Norwegian Langauge in general not sure why so please don't ask me to explain because I can't

 

[One of Many]

Irish or northern Scottish

 

[Lyinginbedmon]

On a national bent I'd have to say British. We can do just about anything and in a pinch can make anything sound classy and upper-crust.

But if I was to pick one accent to survive an apocalypse of speech, I'd say Canadian. It's a good stand-in for almost anything.

 

[Firetaffer]

1. Russian
2. Scottish
3. German

If I had any one of their accents I'd talk non-stop.

 

[Red Right Hand]

My favourite accent, just for pure comedic reasons, is my own native weegie accent.

EDIT: Not literally my own accent.

 

[Mrkittycat]

Extremely manly american accent.
Think Marcus Phoenix.
But honestly, I like Australian, but not English accents.

 

[Psycho Cat Industries]

Australian for it sounds comical and yet amazing (outside of politics)

 

[crudus]

I think the Irish accent is the best by a long shot. Could just be the fact that all my female friends find it sexy.

 

[Pinklespork]

I'm a fan of Russian, but I think my favourite is the Irish accent. It just makes me happy

You call that a KNOIF? /This/ is a KNOIF!!

*waits for knifey-spoony comeback*

Yeah no, that was not Australian, that was the American attempt at Australian that they always mix up with South African. We only have ourselves to blame for it with Crocodile Dundee (and Steve Irwin a bit) but when people talk about liking Aussie accents, that is not the accent they're on about.

Oh c'mon >w< I knew that. I'm an aussie myself. Everyone loves to take the piss, though. We've made it so easy to do, as have all the other nations *chuckles*

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

Hmm...my opinion, it'd have to be Jamaican. The idea of Jamaican secret agents is just too cool. Second Scottish, third Swedish, Norwegian and Austrian. Forth Russki...

 

[JayDub147]

The best accent is an Alan Rickman accent:

 

[shinigamisparda]

I just included the ones I could think up off the top of my head...

Personally, my faves Russian sooo...

Score one for Mother Russia!

Agreed. Russian always sounded like the best kind of accent to me: strong , yet classy, yet sexy.

 

[Dr Snakeman]

I voted Russian, because I was thinking of which one sounds sexiest. Russian... whew.

However, I think that Irish accents are really fun to listen to. Same with "Sooth Efrican" ones
