I love the geordie accent, the geordie’s are the best.
‘Howay the lads’
November 10, 2010 10:10 pm at 10:10 pm #852063bptParticipantBritish. It make the biggest nonsense sould like rocket science.
November 10, 2010 10:14 pm at 10:14 pm #852064blinkyParticipantinteresting question- i think English tops it all- very proper (pronounced prowpur- or something like that)
my least favorite- chassidish i can never understand what they are saying- too muffled for me!
November 10, 2010 10:16 pm at 10:16 pm #852065JamParticipantAustralian – its the perfect balance.
November 10, 2010 10:20 pm at 10:20 pm #852066squeakParticipantI like the way fish sound when they talk.
November 10, 2010 10:23 pm at 10:23 pm #852067shimmelMemberAgreed.. British accent!! Its sooo elegant, specially the singsong it comes along with..
November 10, 2010 10:42 pm at 10:42 pm #852068bptParticipant“chassidish i can never understand what they are saying- too muffled for me”
That’s true of the men, perhaps. The women, on the other hand, seem to speak an almost unnaturally good english (especially the one from Brooklyn).
Probably because they learnt it from school only, without the “streettalk” that is picked up on radio and ‘other media’ <can’t say the word in public>
November 10, 2010 10:48 pm at 10:48 pm #852069A23ParticipantUngarish
November 10, 2010 11:42 pm at 11:42 pm #852070myfriendMemberUngarish isn’t an accent. That is the proper accent and pronunciation.
November 10, 2010 11:46 pm at 11:46 pm #852071SacrilegeMemberI’m a xenophobe 🙂
November 11, 2010 12:06 am at 12:06 am #852072Sister BearMemberSouthern!!!!!! It’s the cutest thing in the world 🙂
The old old Brooklyn one, NOT the one nowadays!!
November 11, 2010 12:19 am at 12:19 am #852073basket caseParticipantAustralian is by far the best accent.
November 11, 2010 12:27 am at 12:27 am #852074WIYMemberSouth African is the best!
November 11, 2010 1:48 am at 1:48 am #852076oomisParticipantProper British (as opposed to Cockney) is my favorite, followed by South African, Australian, and upper Bostonian. Definitely not Noo Yawk.
November 11, 2010 2:57 am at 2:57 am #852077SacrilegeMemberScottish.
November 11, 2010 4:31 am at 4:31 am #852078amichaiParticipantbrittish wins it. manchestar has a heavier accent than london.
November 11, 2010 4:36 am at 4:36 am #852079BEST IMAParticipantDefinately Australian!
November 11, 2010 5:07 am at 5:07 am #852080Smile E. FaceMemberSacrilege-why am i having trouble believing that?
November 11, 2010 11:31 am at 11:31 am #852081I can only tryMemberWith all the wise guys here, no one mentioned the electric-blue Hyundai with a turbo supercharger and nitrous oxide fuel injection?
November 11, 2010 1:43 pm at 1:43 pm #852082theprof1ParticipantLe’maaseh the south african is the best sounding. But its the British accent that impresses people. The Brits are cultured, just like yogurt.
November 11, 2010 2:08 pm at 2:08 pm #852083YW fanParticipant#3 Blinky, it is Brittish NOT ENGLISH!
ICOT, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?
November 11, 2010 2:17 pm at 2:17 pm #852084SacrilegeMemberSmile
Yea, ’twas a joke…. not the Scottish one, Scots’ have a pretty slick accent.
November 11, 2010 2:22 pm at 2:22 pm #852085theprof1ParticipantThe Scot’s accent actually is a British accent affected by drinking single malt scotch all the time. The Irish accent comes from drinking too much Irish coffee. The South African accent is a blend of British and Boer.
November 11, 2010 2:33 pm at 2:33 pm #852086tunabeigel123MemberBritish is the best. I learnt in gateshead the geordie accent is really cool.
November 11, 2010 2:36 pm at 2:36 pm #852087oomisParticipant“The Brits are cultured, just like yogurt.”
yeah, just like sour milk. (JK)
November 11, 2010 2:39 pm at 2:39 pm #852088not IMemberAustralian wins by far!!
BTW FYI Prof. The English and Australians spell yogurt with an ‘h’! Yoghurt!!
November 11, 2010 2:43 pm at 2:43 pm #852089oomisParticipantI also love the Scottish accent. brings me back to my Star Trek days. “I canna dyoo it Captain. I’ve goht tyoo have moorrrrhhh time!”
November 11, 2010 2:44 pm at 2:44 pm #852090SacrilegeMemberThe Australian accent sounds like a stoned Englishmen.
November 11, 2010 2:55 pm at 2:55 pm #852091squeakParticipantI like the Hyundai Accent
November 11, 2010 3:06 pm at 3:06 pm #852092SacrilegeMemberoomis
I think that was an Irish accent.
November 11, 2010 3:09 pm at 3:09 pm #852093YW Moderator-80Memberwhatever sean connerys accent is
November 11, 2010 3:12 pm at 3:12 pm #852094phrumMemberSacrilege
Saddly, you’r not as big a geek as you think – on Star Trek “Scotty” did not have an Irish accent.
And most Australians really are just stonied Englishmen.
November 11, 2010 3:31 pm at 3:31 pm #852095SacrilegeMemberPhrum
Honestly, I have never watched a minute of Star Trek… not my thing.
I was commenting on oomis’s type over for accent unfortunately I forgot to put the “;)” so you would know I was only kidding.
Altho, Hugh Jackman… I can listen to THAT Australian accent all day…
November 11, 2010 4:00 pm at 4:00 pm #852096WIYMemberMod 80
He’s a Scotsman.
November 11, 2010 4:05 pm at 4:05 pm #852097WIYMemberCertain South American accents (when they are light not too heavy) sound very soothing.
November 11, 2010 4:11 pm at 4:11 pm #852098SacrilegeMemberEvery city in the UK has a different dialect. For example Sean Connery is from Edinburgh (I think) while Craig Ferguson is born in Glasgow… completely different!
November 11, 2010 4:14 pm at 4:14 pm #852099theprof1ParticipantHow come nobody mentioned Shicawgoh?
November 11, 2010 4:17 pm at 4:17 pm #852100SacrilegeMemberWhat aboot Canada?
November 11, 2010 4:20 pm at 4:20 pm #852101whatrutalkingabtMemberSouth African is the cutest.
London sounds most professional but I cant understand Manchester- they sound like it hurts to talk. Like they are tripping over their own teeth.
All the out of town ones in America get me nervous…no offense to anyone… ; )
November 11, 2010 4:25 pm at 4:25 pm #852102Aishes ChayilParticipantAs A Canadian, I get lots of compliments on my accent. Peopl e marvel at the clarrity.
I LOVE THE ITALIAN ACCENT!!!
November 11, 2010 4:26 pm at 4:26 pm #852103not IMemberImpossible to understand the Southern accent.. Call sprint if would like to hear it!! 🙂
November 11, 2010 4:27 pm at 4:27 pm #852104WIYMemberSacrilege
You a CF fan? I used to be obsessed with him. Lol.
November 11, 2010 4:29 pm at 4:29 pm #852105MoqMemberDrunk Irish
November 11, 2010 4:34 pm at 4:34 pm #852106SacrilegeMemberWIY
I’m a fan of comedy, period. Yea, I think he’s funny, coupled with his ridiculous accent and zero sense of shame he pulls off a good show. Cant believe you like him… he says some pretty racy things.
November 11, 2010 4:36 pm at 4:36 pm #852107WIYMemberSacrilege
I have Canadian friends. The “aye” gets on my nerves. So much fun making fun of Canadians to their face about their accent 🙂 (who would have thought I’m so evil lol)
November 11, 2010 5:20 pm at 5:20 pm #852110SacrilegeMemberWIY
“who would have thought I’m so evil”
Is this rhetorical? 😉
November 11, 2010 5:42 pm at 5:42 pm #852111WIYMemberSac
I knew you would pounce lol.
Just to clear things up I don’t currently watch him I am TV and Movie free. But in the past I was a fan.
November 11, 2010 5:56 pm at 5:56 pm #852112metrodriverMemberPoster # 8; A23; Ungarish is more than a mere accent. It encompasses many languages. There is Yiddish with a Hungarian accent. (YOY). Then there is Hebrew spoken in Hungarian. Also, English spoken with that sing-song Hungarian accent is music? to the ears.
November 11, 2010 5:57 pm at 5:57 pm #852113SacrilegeMemberWIY
You made it too easy.
November 11, 2010 5:59 pm at 5:59 pm #852114metrodriverMemberThe Russian accent is also very interesting when applied to Yiddish, Hebrew or English.
