Definitely Irish, such a beautiful accent :')

Edit: ...
Couldn't see my old post, so I made a second one, thinking the old one'd disappeared, which it apparently didn't. Sorry.

 

[Amberella]

Definitely British, considering I am engaged to a British block and I'm American. Lol. I love his accent though, there is more than one. Don't think I could stand it if he had a cockney accent. xD Or a few of the other ones I heard.

Boston Massachusetts we're wicked awesome

 

[Blow_Pop]

Irish, Scot, and Actual English not the butchered up shite we speak in America

The irish accent, definitely. In fact that's the accent I'd like to have, instead of my current, more or less british-sounding one(which really is a mix of various british accents from around britain, a brit would see that, while a non-brit probably wouldn't).
The french accent takes second place, especially on an attractive female. Such a beautiful accent... and french itself is such a beautiful language.
I've never liked the american accent, or more specifically, the mid-western accent, that sort of makes people sound dumber, than they really are(if you're having a hard time picturing what the accent sounds like, think of Bush, or a large portion of the americans in the Borat film).
Just makes my ears hurt. No offence, anyone, I just can't stand the accent.

I like my own. So finnish accents all the way! I find it weird that the only european accents you have there are british and french. I think scandinavians, germans and eastern europeans deserve their place on there.

I picked Australian cause its the closes to the New Zealand accent, but for those who think they are the same please watch this

We need to make sure that the difference is KNOWN

Scottish. Why? This is why:


On an unrelated note, I've been wondering what would have happened if she had been cast as Ginny Weasley back when they made Sorcerer's Stone. She's closer to Daniel Radcliffe's age, is far more sexy than Bonnie Wright, and is actually a good actress. The Harry/Ginny romance would have worked just as well in the movies as it did in the books if the casting directors had only known that they were casting a love interest and not just "Ron's little sister".

*whew* I needed to get that off my chest. It just bugged me how little chemistry there was in that romance subplot, and I'm sure that Gillan would have been able to make it work.

Have to agree on that... it just didn't work in the films, I never found it even remotely interesting, nor worth following. Too bad.

I love to listen to different British accents, but in a woman, Italian accent is hot.

 

[Jacob.pederson]

Afrikaans

 

[Zantos]

It was a toss up between Australian and Scottish, but Amy Pond won it out.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

British. And which American accent?

There's the southern drawl, the Brooklyn (or Noo Yawk, as some call it), the midwest, the Cali, and about 2000 others.

 

[Mr Fatherland]

I have an english accent but it's kind of mid-northern-western. I hate it, it's kind of "dirty". I don't pronounce sharp t's. Anyway I have a certain thing for the southern belle accent... Don't ask me why.

Spoiler: What I mean...

New York is sufferable, but the southern accents like Texan and such make me want to turn missionary, and travel over there to teach the poor natives how to speak English.

I myself have been asked by an Englishman if I was from Liverpool. Being Dutch, I'm still not sure whether to be flattered or insulted.

And a link to youtube [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymRlgDI9IPM] to a guy with a good example of a, rather horrid, Dutch accent. For those who can't really imagine what it sounds like.

I am from the midwest, staying in Texas for a while... my grandparents and I speak normally (From my perspective). The others...

Well, today I heard someone say "all y'all" in a sentence. And they were taken seriously.
