Poll: Favourite accent from around the world?

[BelfastSpartan]

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

All of that in such a small space.

Irish isn't British. As a Northern Irish person, I do know what I'm talking about when it comes to this. Scottish people aren't happy with being called "British" either, but they don't have as much of an argument against it as Northern Irish people do or especially Republic of Ireland citizens who are an entirely different country and nothing to do with Britain or being "British".

Just saying.

That being said, OP, there are so many different British accents and they're all excellent even if they don't hold a candle to our good wee "Norn Iron" accent

This....

Was hoping to see Norn Iron accent pop up somewhere along te line!

Most accents annoy me over a period of time.....different accents annoy me over different lengths of time but I never get tired of hearing our accent!

Where the hell is Spanish?

 

[Rooster893]

Irish is the best IMO. Know why? CAUSE SHEAMUS IS BADASS, that's why!

And his theme kicks ass too.

F*** yeah.

 

[Zeriu]

Russian accent is the best.

 

[AngryMongoose]

Yeah, Scottish accents. Edinburgh and other softer ones particularly.

Can someone tell me which accent the guy from Freemans Mind has?

 

[oktalist]

Yorkshire or Somerset. Those are the best.

 

[Jubbert]

Russian.

WHAT!? No welsh option! For shame!

 

[neil1990]

The Rhodesians (white zimbabwean) is my favourite. If you have watched Blood Diamond, Leonardo di Caprio's accent from that is Rhodesian

British, obviously.
What, what.

I love British slang and their accents.

Maybe it's just bias (my first GF was from Texas), but I find most southern-American accents to be quite relaxing. Honestly, I think all accents are nice. So much variety in how people around the world talk. Just makes things more interesting, am I right? I've always loved Irish, thick Russian accents, Dutch (I have a friend from Holland, so maybe more bias), and some African accents are pretty damn cool too.

Edit-"Leeverage." Awesome.

 

[MrCherry]

Irish, but then i'm biased, my Fiancee is Irish o.o

 

[DarkenedWolfEye]

Geordie. It's one of the most bizarre, fascinating accents I know of. It's practically a different language.

 

[TheTim]

Ill take the American Southern Accent, I love a girl who is hot and can talk like that.

 

[Thundero13]

Where the hell is Canadian?! And why is Irish there?! Our accents are awful!
Seriously though, Canada? Home of the best accents ever? How did that slip your mind?

 

[Someone lost on TVTropes]

As an American, I've always found British accents to sound badass and sophisticated (at least if spoken in a manly, Sean Connery-esque voice, even though Sean Connery is Scottish IIRC) in comparison to my bland American accent (at least from my perspective). I guess that's why aliens in fiction all have British accents while speaking english [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AliensOfLondon].

 

[Uncle_Brainhorn]

It was a close one between Australian and Scottish, but I went with Australian.

 

[No_Remainders]

British because that comprises of Scottish, Irish, Welsh and English along with the variation across each of these countries P:

WRONG! I'm sorry but no.

British does NOT include Ireland, can people please stop being so ignorant about it?

Also, there is no "Southern Ireland". It's Northern Ireland and The Republic of Ireland.

Fuck sake.

OT: Yeah, I quite like the accents we've got in The Republic of Ireland... At least, most of them.

No Russian on your list, its my favorite
