What do you think is the sexiest accent?

[Triangulon]

I too find an Irish accent on a woman is amazing (obviously dependent upon dialect). I do also like the scottish accent. Probably down to my exposure to folk and gaelic music such as Karine Polwart and Cara Dillon.

 

[Triangulon]

Scottish, or a simple irish

Edit: i hate how people are saying 'british accent' there are 4 different countries in britain, let along dialects and really wide ranging accents, please be more specific

They definately mean scouse or geordie

 

[brunt32]

British Accent. enough said.

 

[Mr Pantomime]

This thread reminds me of my friend saying "I want to fuck your accent to someone" but for the life of me I cant remember who.

My choice goes to south africa.

 

[Defective_Detective]

Female Southern US States accent. Definitely.

 

[individual11]

Whatever localised dialect Shirley Manson has.

Oh yeah.

Irish, I'm not quite versed enough in the local differences though, so just generic Irish (on females at least...)

You probably mean a Dublin area accent, it's quite pleasant. The same cannot be said for Northern Ireland or Cork

Hahaha!!

And guess who should happen upon this post but someone from Cork....

Shame my friend from Derry is away so he can't help me formulate the rest of the post.

I have to say the Dublin accent can be quite pleasant once it's not as in your face as a North side accent, or as pathetically effete like the general D4 accent.

As for the Cork accent, it has its rough edges, but it's also unique sounding in comparison to the rest of the island.
Comes from being a city exposed to many different cultures through trade over the centuries.
Also far, far less Anglicised than the posher Dublin variants, although I am noticing a horrendous surge in a D4 style accent growing from the city's south side lately.

EDIT

Right, answering the question....
-English accent on a girl, estuary variant.
-French for obvious reasons
-Italian... the women there just... do things to me...

But my favourite has to be the non-stereotypical southern American accent.
Last girlfriend was from Mississippi, but her accent was very mild, although I did delight in hearing "y'all" every now and then

I don't care about accents, but I do love the Indian/British accent my girlfriend has, thats not why I'm with her but it is an added bonus

 

[Boba Frag]

Female Southern US States accent. Definitely.

Once you go south of the Mason-Dickson Line you never go back, eh?

I know I haven't

 

[Cazza]

All accents can be sexy if it's done right. (Suits person)

 

[Raziello]

The accent Liz Sroka did for Tali in Mass Effect.

Totally agree with that

 

[Jovlo]

I adore English with an Icelandic accent.
Whenever I hear an interview with Björk or Jónsi I think it's a cute and attractive accent.

 

[Kranay]

Aussie accent. Definitely the sexiest.

...Then again, I AM an Aussie, so that may affect my decision.

 

[SaunaKalja]

The accent Liz Sroka did for Tali in Mass Effect.

Yes! Definitely.

For girls, I think British is probably the sexiest.

And then Swedish is a close second.

Swedish? Seriously? I just find the way my countrymen speak English to be both appalling and embarrassing.

Ditto that.

There are only two Swedish accents anyway. There's the "Swedish Chef" accent, which isn't the slightest bit hot, and then the failed British accent, which has similarities to a British accent, but sounds waaaaaaay too pretentious.

What I find funny is that Swedes always have to mention they are Swedish. Has everyone gone somewhat nazi?

As for me I like the middle eastern accents on women.

Yes, even more pretentious than a normal British accent.

OT: I'm going with cockney. Cockney spoken by a 30 year old football hooligan who's smoked since third grade and who's currently pissed of his ass.

Makes my heart melt.

An american guy I was on shift with a while ago commented on my accent as "sounding vaguely norwegian". I would guess it could vary quite heavily depending on where in Sweden you're from.
And would people give this "Oh, how embarrasing, he has an accent"-crap a rest? We're not native speakers and we never will be. Trying to elevate english into some second official language is just tiresome.

On topic, it is well known that only the melodic tones of the norwegian woman can melt the swedish heart.

As for accents in english, I think the accent they have in "Number one ladies detective agency" is quite pleasant. I'm not sure if it's really a botswana accent, but I suppose it's supposed to imitate one at least.

Well. I heard my german accent seems to be nice but i cant really judge it.
Italian is nice, too.

For girls I personally like intelligent accents, simply because its rare^^
disclaimer: the rare counts for both, women and men!
