Your favourite accent?
 
Yeaah, yesterday I read on the Daily Telegraph that the Irish accent is the favourite of all girls around the world XD

Soo I wanted to see if the results are the same on PC: Which accent do you like the most?

Ho-Oh November 14th, 2009 12:57 AM

lolwtf, Gav's ain't my favourite.

Probably American or Scottish. Since I don't really like Siggy's that much (BUT YET YOU'RE STILL GREAT, GURL), and the Australian one I hear all the time. :(

Aizuke November 14th, 2009 12:57 AM

I like the spanish accent the most, because it is sexy sounds really nice. o3o

Serene Grace November 14th, 2009 12:58 AM

American accents are the *in thang*.

I think they're awesome (:

jupotatoes November 14th, 2009 3:32 AM

Damn, the PC forum does not support phonetic fonts...
Everyone says my dorky accent is cute, while I find my norwegian friend's the cutest evah.

The American accent annoys the hell out of me. It butchers the English language, IMO =/

Scottish would have to be my favourite, although the New Zealand accent is the best to imitate. :D

♣Gawain♣ November 14th, 2009 4:49 AM

Since I'm in Russia right now, I've quite used to their accent. And it's cool.

I like Scottish and English accents too.

THIRTY-SIX November 14th, 2009 5:48 AM

Scottish accent, because of Frankie Boyle and Gerard Butler.

That and Russian, no reason. o..o

French because of Arsene Wenger. xD

Pechachu November 14th, 2009 5:53 AM

I'm more of a fan of French accents for some reason. Not the stereotypical romantic ones, but the every day spoken French.

I can't stand Scottish accents anymore. :c

Way to offend 300,000,000 people in one fell swoop, buddy =/

But yeah, Texan accent all the way! :D It grows on you T~T

Musician of Literature November 14th, 2009 6:11 AM

I LOVE SPANISH! I think their accent is very flowing and beautiful. Ahh, such a beautiful language.

All do respect ther Archer, no harm meant. That 'butchers the language' kinda thought is merely linguistic bias. I suggest you google it, try and find out why some variants of a language are more prestigious than others (long story short, social-economic status of a group who uses the variant), and how harmful that can be to one who's discriminated because of his language. Also, all languages change continuously and there's no language (or variant, in that matter) more difficult, functional or perfect than another. The way we express ourselves through language is deeply connected to our onthological self, if you state something like americans can't speak English, you're basically - not intendedly, I get - stating they are nothing. If americans speak different English, that's because they live in a different environment, with different people and conditions. Think a sec about everyone speaking equally. We'd have to get out of our ways to express our emotions and feelings... language does that naturally. "I have a headache" "gotta tie my shoes" "I'm treating you formally". You see?

Hagumi November 14th, 2009 6:24 AM

I personally don't see what's so great about Scottish accents… although maybe that's because I hear people with them all the time. XD

I think Australian and Irish accents are pretty awesome. (b ")b

SonicThrust November 14th, 2009 7:59 AM

To be honest, accents are alright in small amounts, but I usually get annoyed with them pretty quickly. I like the Canadian accent best since I can actually understand people when they speak most of the time \o/.

SatanicMonkey666 November 14th, 2009 8:04 AM

Spanish because it sounds nice. British because I find it amusing. :D

Sgt Shock November 14th, 2009 8:28 AM

Irish and Scottish because it makes a person sounds tough. I'm really fond of a lady with a Spanish accent. XD Anything's better than my southern one. >_>

Eucliffe November 14th, 2009 8:34 AM

Irish, Scottish, and British <3

They're all so full of win. I'm even lucky to have a guy in my grade who still has his British accent after living all these years in America ;_;

Oh, and Arnold Schwarzeneggar's accent from the Terminator movies <3

Swift! November 14th, 2009 8:39 AM

For guys, Irish and Australian. It's just a coincidence that I'm half Irish and half Australian.

For girls, Spanish and Italian. They're just so... exotic.

Cheesymitten November 14th, 2009 8:41 AM

Yay for the foreign French accent <3
Then it would be Italian
Then Scottish =D

benthekid November 14th, 2009 8:45 AM

i like the irish acent its so sexy!iam a boy,and i date an irish girl

chavs accent is the worst along with pikey and English.now my joke,what key pics every lock?a pikey!if u think thats funny,pm me

Ayselipera November 14th, 2009 9:47 AM

A British or French accent. I just like it so much!

Houndour2004 November 14th, 2009 10:14 AM

Did we talk about it earlier?

Well, mine is hochdeutsch

Misty4Life November 14th, 2009 10:19 AM

I have to say that after watching so much Japanese subbed anime, I love Japanese accents best. It's like a combination of mysterious, exotic, and intellegant, but it can also be used to sound absolutely adorable. And this is not just because of the anime voices I love, but even the people I know at my school that are Japanese have beautiful voices. : D My next favorite would be British, then French.

Comrade Nikita Ivanova November 14th, 2009 10:35 AM

I adore Russian and German accents, they're pretty~
Austrian accents are nice, too.

Actually, unlike most of the girls I know, I'm not very interested in British accents. I think I'm just too used to them, and they just aren't as foreign sounding as I'd like.

YOU HAVE NO TASTE, FOUR.

I'm not really taken in by accents at all, but I suppose I do rather like American and Chiefly British accents, they always had quite a contrast and both of them are rather endearing in their own ways. Can't say I think all that much of any other accent, even the ones I pointed out don't interest me all that much because to me, a voice is a voice, accents make no difference to me other than the fact that I have trouble understanding people sometimes.

Kung Fu Quagsire! November 14th, 2009 11:56 AM

I have three. German, Russian and Scottish, in that order.

But Australians and Italians have pretty awesome accents too. :3

*high fives* Heck yeah, Japanese accents! I watched too much subbed anime too. XD;

Actually, since I'm Asian and am used to Asian accents, I would have to say Asian accents in general. There are like a variety of them (Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, etc.) and each one has their own uniqueness to it. I admit though, if their accent is too thick, I have a hard time understanding them. D: However, I get by fine. XD

Fire Eagle November 14th, 2009 12:22 PM

I would say that I would love the Korean accent because it looks so cool to have.

Yes, the irish accent is the best (b")b

All you people rock XD

Anyway, down to business, I'll speak in the sense of the opposite sex, I really like the Spanish accent in girls, it's always appealed to me. That and some English accents, depending on where you're from! The Welsh is also awesome Cheryl Cole
The Irish accent is okay I mean, I wouldn't call it the best but it could be a lot worse! :D

Franceschi November 14th, 2009 12:43 PM

Gavin, Cheryl Cole is from Newcastle. :[

I like a lot of different accents, but my favourite is probably Scottish. And American - although Southern American, 'cause it's so gosh-darn'd fun.

Masterge77 November 14th, 2009 12:58 PM

I like people with british accents, BBC for the win!

Charizard★ November 14th, 2009 2:56 PM

Either Spanish or Indian lol xD

Honest November 14th, 2009 4:20 PM

For me, its a tie between the New York accent and British accent. I think I have the New York accent (I'm from and I live there) though I'm not sure how that would sound. =O

British just sounds real cool to me. I don't know why. >.< xD

MarstheCar November 16th, 2009 6:50 PM

British. Makes me all googly inside. Like "OMG! Your accent is so Awesome!!!11!!!". :D Then, I'd annoy them by asking to say certain words.

>Feelings< November 17th, 2009 2:34 AM

Uh... the normal and correct English accent is good to me?
What might that be? British doesn't quite fit the category, because it's a much more relaxed British accent. It's clean, it's what I normally hear, it sounds good, it isn't mutilation of grammar.

But aside from that, I always thought Spanish to be a sexy accent a couple of times.

.Ozymandias November 17th, 2009 4:42 AM

Danish. And it's all Thure Lindhardt's fault x.x

Although Scottish accents are smexy, too... *hmm*

Gabri November 17th, 2009 4:45 AM

I don't think I've ever heard people talking with an Irish accent. Well from those I have already heard, Italian is my favourite, I love its sound. I also like the Spanish accent (specially if it's a girl who talks 8D)

Rainflower November 17th, 2009 6:20 AM

For some reason, I like English, French, and Spanish accent.

But the one's that I can accept the most in my ears is American accent. Idk why, but maybe I'm already used to it.

What kind of American accents? There are tons of them.

Guy November 17th, 2009 7:48 AM

I like a lot of different accents, Irish, Australian, and British being my favorite. Compared to the American accent I hear everyday, it's just something new to hear. I'm not big on different accents as I am with other things, but these are the three that I think really catch my attention with others not far behind.

Crystal-Heart November 17th, 2009 11:28 AM

I like British Accents, especially a British Woman's Accent (think of Cammy's in Street Fighter IV), its so sexy. I don't mean the Cockney variant though..I find that humorous.

My friends' say mine is funny. I currently live in the Northern US, but I was raised in the South. So, try to imagine a petite Japanese girl with a Southern accent. They say the combination is hilarious.

BHwolfgang November 17th, 2009 2:31 PM

What happened to the British accent. I would personally go crazy if I'm talking to a British girl. Their accent is...

Pokepal17 November 17th, 2009 5:20 PM

Irish Accents FTW,

I speak in a British accent and I live in Canada, so everyone loves the way I speak. :D

Kasey November 17th, 2009 5:52 PM

Bristolian. <: If you do not know this accent, go look it up. Seriously.

Her November 17th, 2009 7:39 PM

Meh, French and New Zealander accents have always appealed to me. Mostly because I've had one of them at some point. XD
But they are cute though.

Syrex November 17th, 2009 7:52 PM

British accents BUT only on girls.
Mmm....

Legobricks November 17th, 2009 10:31 PM

British is a vague term since it encompasses Scottish, Welsh, south and north English (which are very distinct from one another), Cornish (southwest England) and Irish (NI) as well as by extension any country previously or currently part of the British Empire/Commonwealth.
Of course one can gather in due course that every American referring to a 'British accent' means the southern English one, but it presents quite a dilemma for the rest of the population, so please be specific to the level of constituent country and don't just say 'British pepul r sexi hurr' or I'll find you some foreign Commonwealth person who barely even speaks English.


Anyway, for me: Finnish. It's not attractive or anything, course, I'm asexual; it just sounds nice.

Melody November 17th, 2009 10:44 PM

Wot wot! I rather like the accents which come from across the pond eh? *shot*

No, but seriously, Certain British accents, and a Japanese accent, I find to be pretty cool. Same goes for the Australian accent. Hur.

Skip Class November 18th, 2009 4:12 PM

Irish is my Favorite accent. It's the only accent that I don't hear everyday (at school and stuff) so whenever I hear an Irish accent I consider myself lucky cause Irish is an awesome accent

Halcyon November 18th, 2009 8:40 PM

British, they are like ...so rare here!

Sushi. November 18th, 2009 9:25 PM

British.
I think the accent is nice. :3

vanna. November 18th, 2009 9:26 PM

I love Finnish accents ♥
They sound so amazing *___*

Pokémon Ranger ✩ Moriarty November 19th, 2009 6:59 AM

Oh goddd, but I adore Irish accents. Last St. Patrick's Day Cheltenham was absolutely stuffed with Irishmen and it was all I could do not to faint walking down Montpellier. XD But other than Irish, it would have to be Bostonian (all the fault of Ed Bishop) and Icelandic.

Soul Eater November 19th, 2009 12:15 PM

Australian and British accents. :3

I don't know... they just sound so cool and unique. I also like people who have southern accents because they are so interesting. XD

Cartmic November 19th, 2009 12:22 PM

There's nothing like a Geordie accent.
