Poll: Favourite accent from around the world?

[shadyh8er]

Russian

Not on your list

Yup, same here. Amd it originated from listening to Marina Orlova (aka "hotforwords").

I also like the Brooklyn accents despite being a Southerner. Why?

Some Irish people live on British land, particular in Northern Ireland, so Jacob Carse isn't being inaccurate when he includes Irish in our wide-range of British accents.

Sorry I should not of said Ireland as I was stupidly thinking about United Kingdom I will change it at once.

Irish! Irish accent's are pure awesome.

I think Irish is pretty awesome to listen to, although the few Irish guys I know I have a hard time understanding them sometimes. I think the Northern accent is a little harder to understand, at least in my experience, because a former teacher at my school was from N. Ireland and he spoke super fast all the time.

One of my other teachers was from Southern Ireland and it was amazing to hear the difference between the two of them.

Never really heard an Irish accent from a woman before, unless you count early episodes of Fiona on Burn Notice. My favorite Irish accents are the Boondock Saints though. I might have kind of a man-crush on them...

British because you have Scottish, Welsh, Irish and the many kinds of English e.g Cockney.

All of that in such a small space.

fuck you.

You guys seem to be opening up a rather controversial can of beans on this one. I'd just call Irish it's own accent and be done with it.

Jamaican hands down. It's the only accent I've heard that can be laid-back and bad-ass at the same time.

 

[ShotgunZombie]

Russian and German accents sound badass so there is no contest, unfortunately they weren't on the list so I voted British...
Also women with Swedish accents are awesome but women with French accents are incredibly seductive so take your pick.
Also I would like to nominate my own accent (American) for most "Boring & Generic", but then again when I speak Spanish my accent slightly changes, so I have options.

Wow, someone's gotta tell England that they're winning this poll, because I don't think they'll believe it otherwise.

I'm sure some other smart-arse has pointed this out, but Scotland is part of Britain, so I'm assuming you mean 'English' accent. Also an interesting concept, because England has more noticeably different accents than any other English-speaking country.

I picked Australian, because I have a heck of a lot of accent pride. Having said that, I'm pretty much a fan of all accents except generic English or generic American. I feel bad for saying that, but I find those accents uninteresting, and the generic English accent sounds really whiny, I find.

Scottish.
I hate my own accent (Australian).

Aw! I love an Aussie accent!

Right on!
And luckily most people aren't of your opinion. I've yet to meet a person in England who doesn't love my accent.

[Zorak the Mantis]

I like British accents; especially the Geordies :3

 

[ShindoL Shill]

aussie, irish or s african if it was on the poll (i saw someone suggest that, and theres a couple of s africans in my school, and its a pretty cool accent)

 

[sevreon]

I'm instantly attracted to guys with a Southern American or Russian accents. I know they're both really different to each other, but there you go

You guys seem to be opening up a rather controversial can of beans on this one. I'd just call Irish it's own accent and be done with it.

And you've just opened that can a little further (/jk). Broadly, there's Northern Irish and Eire. Both are indeed Irish, but sound quite different from each other.

It's like in England: Geordie, Brummie, Cockney, West Country, Scouser, Manc, East End etc. and that's just the geographical accents.

EDIT:

I like British accents; especially the Geordies :3

Please, please, please, PLEASE tell me you don't like the Geordie accent just because you've heard Cheryl Cole!!
