justusforus Posted September 29, 2013 Report Share Posted September 29, 2013 Being in California (but a Midwest transplant) I can't stand the "valley girl" or "surfer" speak. They sound slow and medicated. My favorite English accent is any real accent from England, love the way the Aussies speak and Jamaicans as well.

Elizabethr6144 Posted September 30, 2013 Report Share Posted September 30, 2013 I love a southern accent. I am from the south so this is not only how I talk but how other around me talk. I think it sounds so innocent and sweet, especially when young children speak this way. I also like British accents, always makes me smile.

Aphex Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 I must say I like both the Welsh and Scottish accents the most. They both have got a great and unique sound to it which makes it instantly recognizable by anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TABL Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 Australian! I think that is one of the coolest accents! G'day Mate!I also think just everyday English (as in, from England) is cool. And Scottish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veenux Posted October 3, 2013 Report Share Posted October 3, 2013 Irish, Scottish and Australian are definitely my favourite accents. It can get hard to understand everything sometimes, but it's just very enjoyable and even funny to listen to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rand paul Posted October 6, 2013 Report Share Posted October 6, 2013 I always thought that the southern usa accent had a certain charm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qamra Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 It has to be Cockney in my case. My boyfriend is a Cockney boy and I just find it really attractive. Northern accents, especially Scottish, sound interesting too. I used to spend a lot of time with my Scottish friend and I know her accent rubbed off on me! As a worker in transport, I hear a lot of different accents everyday and it's so satisfying to recognize where people come from.Oh I almost forgot about lovely accent from Sheffield! That's my new favourite, my new work colleague comes from there and I can't stop listening to her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatupswags Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 Far and away, the English Welsh accent! The Welsh are the only people who can make English sound like music. I do love the British and Australian basic accents as well, but the Welsh one has such a beautiful lilt to it, and I can listen to them all day!

kniera Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 Australia for sure I personally think it sounds really bas ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pandandesign Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I would say Australia and English (Standard) are my favorite English accent. I remember I have a customer who's an Australian, and the way she speaks English is very nice. I like her accent a lot, which sounds unique.

sillylucy Posted October 22, 2013 Report Share Posted October 22, 2013 I love the way Londoners speak. It just makes me melt. That and Aussies. Aussies and New Zealanders fascinate me. I love the way they sound. They sound so exotic and cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aheyz Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 A thick irish accent is usually rather pleasing to the ear. I also like a good jamaican accent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writeletters Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I like Welsh accents and Australian accents. Only to listen to, I'm not sure if I could handle hearing myself speak like that all the time. Not being racist, of course. I just mean to say that it's nice to hear every once in a while, but I prefer my own accent, thanks (New Zealand). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonyi Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I think I like the America New York English accent. Sounds key. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katya S Posted October 28, 2013 Report Share Posted October 28, 2013 I love Welsh, Irish and Scottish accents, because they just have such a beautiful sound and they're so different to the accent in my country (New Zealand). I also really like Cockney accents, just because I really like London and I think they sound really cool. The New Zealand accent is a bit boring...

SpiralArchitect Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Scottish accentsIt's close to impossible to decipher a really thick Scottish accent. I mean it sounds good and everything but you don't get what the person is saying half the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baburra Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I like the British English accent the best, the fancy one. With that accent, even the dirtiest words and sayings sound sophisticated. Of course, I do realize that everyone with a fancy British accent won't turn out to be sophisticated, but it sure helps out with the image.

Pawski Posted October 30, 2013 Report Share Posted October 30, 2013 I would have to say I have a tie for two...American (Southern) - talking like South Carolina or West VirginiaJamaican - Ya' mon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissPotato Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 I love the Scottish and Irish English accents. (BTW, kudos on including Filipino English in the list - I never thought we actually qualified as an original accent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zambothegreat Posted November 2, 2013 Report Share Posted November 2, 2013 In general, I'd say Russian. It sounds pretty badass. But, it really depends on who's speaking. For instance, I think Phil Anselmo has a great voice. It's a southern drawl. Also, Neil Fallon, who's from Maryland, Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Permidian Posted November 3, 2013 Report Share Posted November 3, 2013 I like American accents (I know there is several different accents in the U.S, but I can hardly differentiate them for the most part. I don't have a good ear for accents...)Accents from other English speaking countries are difficult for me to understand for some reasons. For example I can watch anything on a American TV channel and understand absolutely everything as if it was my native language, but if I do the same thing with a British or Australian channel it all sounds like gibberish to me. I'll only understand every other word if even that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxchristine Posted November 5, 2013 Report Share Posted November 5, 2013 I don't know enough about the England accents to differentiate between them but they are one of my favorites! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viciosomundial Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 I agree with you! I think that Jamaican accent is sooooooooooooooo cool! It just sounds as if they were singing or something, it has quite a melodic tone, so it's really nice. In general, I'd say Russian. It sounds pretty badass. But, it really depends on who's speaking. For instance, I think Phil Anselmo has a great voice. It's a southern drawl. Also, Neil Fallon, who's from Maryland, Virginia. I also feel that the Russian accent is amazing. It just sounds so...hard core. It's really wicked how they pronounce words. I feel that they are actually imposing power, you know? Too bad I kinda have a Mexican accent. :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francisco23 Posted November 6, 2013 Report Share Posted November 6, 2013 With English being the universal language and the national language of several countries, its no surprise that you'll find a long list of different English accents. From the list below (which only includes some of the more popular English accents) which is your favorite accent, I personally like the English accents of people from Jamaica and Spain.English Speakers from..-America (New York)-America (South)-America (California)-Australia-Canada-China-England (Cockney)-England (Standard)-England (South)-England (Welsh)-England (Midlands)-France-India-Italy-Jamaica-Malaysia-Mexico-New Zealand-The Philippines-Russia-Scotland-Scandinavia-Spain(I'm sure there are a lot of others so please don't limit your answers to this list)Wow, and I thought our Jamaican accent was unappealing. Thanks bro :grin: I like the British and Australian accent. I don't like when there accent is too thick though. I tend not to be able to follow clearly what they are saying.

nicky Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 I really like the Australian accent, especially when a girl is talking it. I don't know why, but I think it sounding very cute. I really hate the Britsh accent, I can't stand that at all. It seems like they are overreacting every single word. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
