Sexiest Accent

[Mango Elephant]

I've always been partial to Slavic accents. nomnomnom so sexy.

Clearly, the English accent is most attractive in women.

What the devil is up with the grouping English/Welsh, Swedish/Norwegian and Danish/German?

I'll give that English with Swedish or Norwegian accents might sound similar to outsiders. (Otoh they might be surprised at the regional dialect variations of either language).

But a Welsh English accent and any of the English accents/dialects/sociolects are pretty damn distinct.

And I don't rightly know which of the Danes and Germans might feel insulted by the association here, but they are pretty damn distinct languages with different accents. A Dane and German speaking Swedish will not be mistaken between, and it tends to work the same in English.

An edit of the poll options, perhaps?

which one out of the approximately 200? disregarding that I do agree. though, to this day, I have not encountered a single native speaker accent/dialect I thought to be non-sexy in a woman.

from the list provided.... anything but German or east of that with an extra "yikes" added for Spaniards and Italians.

 

[Kennigit]

Don't really know, but I prefer a higher pitched voice-- the "girliest" of all voices.

That transcends nationality.

edit- in reference to my taste in women

So, to be totally racist, in my experience indian/middle eastern/hispanic women have a bit deeper voices. Or at least, hispanic women talk extremly fast.

Toss up between french and spanish. I think if they're speaking their language french wins but if they're speaking english with an accent, spanish wins.

Pacific Northwest.

Nothing sexier than a US American accent. Every time I hear a girl throwing out rhoticized vowels and alveolar flaps every which way, I just wanna give her a good boning right on the spot.

Yeah, this is hugely problematic for me too, we've got accents that are nowhere close listed together.

For English-language accents, I do like the "high class" English/Australian/Generic British there, though Midwestern American is also fine. For that matter I have no clue what "American/Canadian" is supposed to mean because Midwestern American should be the "standard American" and Canadian is where they pronounce "aboot" and everything - but clearly Minnesota or some very Northern states which share that with Canada shouldn't count for all of America.

So anyway the way things are grouped no poll option really reflects that; Scottish or Cockney or whatever I'm not intending to vote for. I will say I rarely am a fan of many accents from non-English native language speakers when they speak English, but I have little firsthand experience with how that might go with Swedish or Dutch or something. Spanish/French/various Asian languages given their typical English accent I'm not a fan of.

Brit accents are made of win

 

[madviking]

No Italian? FAIL.

 

[kulade]

oh yeah I guess britfag accents are sexy, but they're only dirty cos they're sooo wrong.

 

[Xanikk999]

I love the English accent. French accent on women is pretty hot as well.

 

[Arakhor]

Welsh-English? No such thing. English accent? Which one?

Your posts always bring the lulz.

On topic, Spanish/Latin American accents for the freakin' win. With Japanese a close second.

 

[Bill3000]

Welsh-English? No such thing.

yeah there is dude; it's significantly influenced by welsh grammar, include words derived from Welsh, and has its own regional consonant and vowel pronunciation.

 

[Cutlass]

I'd say French. Not that I like the sound of the language, but I think it makes English sound really good. But only when girls are speaking, not men.

 

[Arakhor]

I live right on the Welsh border and around me, there's the South Welsh accent that you hear in Torchwood and the stereotypical West Country accent. Even if you went further north, it would probably be a mix of a North Welsh accent (when they bother to speak English!) and the Shropshire dialect. There's still no such thing as "the English accent", just like there isn't one "American accent".

 

[Lillefix]

Is there anything like a standard-bbc-english? The one that newscasters use?

 

[cardgame]

John Oliver's accent is a perfect example of 'brit accent'

cba to think of any other notables
