I love the geordie accent, the geordie’s are the best.
‘Howay the lads’
British. It make the biggest nonsense sould like rocket science.
interesting 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!
Australian – its the perfect balance.
I like the way fish sound when they talk.
Agreed.. British accent!! Its sooo elegant, specially the singsong it comes along with..
“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>
Ungarish
Ungarish isn’t an accent. That is the proper accent and pronunciation.
I’m a xenophobe 🙂
Southern!!!!!! It’s the cutest thing in the world 🙂
The old old Brooklyn one, NOT the one nowadays!!
Australian is by far the best accent.
South African is the best!
Proper British (as opposed to Cockney) is my favorite, followed by South African, Australian, and upper Bostonian. Definitely not Noo Yawk.
Scottish.
brittish wins it. manchestar has a heavier accent than london.
Definately Australian!
Sacrilege-why am i having trouble believing that?
With all the wise guys here, no one mentioned the electric-blue Hyundai with a turbo supercharger and nitrous oxide fuel injection?
Le’maaseh the south african is the best sounding. But its the British accent that impresses people. The Brits are cultured, just like yogurt.
#3 Blinky, it is Brittish NOT ENGLISH!
ICOT, WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!?
Smile
Yea, ’twas a joke…. not the Scottish one, Scots’ have a pretty slick accent.
The 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.
British is the best. I learnt in gateshead the geordie accent is really cool.
“The Brits are cultured, just like yogurt.”
yeah, just like sour milk. (JK)
Australian wins by far!!
BTW FYI Prof. The English and Australians spell yogurt with an ‘h’! Yoghurt!!
I 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!”
The Australian accent sounds like a stoned Englishmen.
I like the Hyundai Accent
oomis
I think that was an Irish accent.
whatever sean connerys accent is
Sacrilege
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.
Phrum
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…
Mod 80
He’s a Scotsman.
Certain South American accents (when they are light not too heavy) sound very soothing.
Every 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!
How come nobody mentioned Shicawgoh?
What aboot Canada?
South 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… ; )
As A Canadian, I get lots of compliments on my accent. Peopl e marvel at the clarrity.
I LOVE THE ITALIAN ACCENT!!!
Impossible to understand the Southern accent.. Call sprint if would like to hear it!! 🙂
Sacrilege
You a CF fan? I used to be obsessed with him. Lol.
Drunk Irish
WIY
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.
Sacrilege
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)
WIY
“who would have thought I’m so evil”
Is this rhetorical? 😉
Sac
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.
Poster # 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.
WIY
You made it too easy.
The Russian accent is also very interesting when applied to Yiddish, Hebrew or English.
