coolest accent(inspired by language thread)

[JohnKleeb]

I like Eastern European accents in general
I like all of the british isles accents particually the Irish and the Scottish one. Thats all I guess and I love the New England American accent.

1. my accent

I rule!

[JohnKleeb]

3. you Jersey people are neat too

I like yours too. I dont know if I have one being a yankee/southerner like geographically I am a southerner but my relatives are yankees and most importantly I consider myself a yankee, politically and culturally because I am more of an urban than rural person not to say southerners are all lovers of rural but I hate the New York Yankees if you wanna piss me off lol be a hardline republican, New York Yankees fan, and maybe 10 years ago, a Dallas Cowboys fan, I used to hate them a lot, now well I laugh but I think Parcells will do good. Sorry for the sports rant.

34. dawg, dawter, kawfee

I find men with NY/NJ accents sexy. I just hate that they cheer for the damn Yankees (I'm from BAWSTEN)!

2. My grandmother was Hungarian

and had the greatest accent. I love to hear the men talk, especially.

It's said a Hungarian is someone who follows you into a revolving door and comes out ahead of you.

[CBHagman]

31. Did we grow up in the same family?

My grandmother was Hungarian, too! I can still remember how her voice sounded.

For this reason, I never miss a chance to hear speeches by Tom Lantos (D-CA), the only Hungarian-born congressman I can think of.

[kskiska]

37. Actually, both my grandparents on my father's side

were Hungarian, but my grandfather died when I was 5. I've heard a lot of Hungarian – my cousins all attended the Hungarian Catholic church and learned the language at Sunday School. I lost out on that. I did travel to Budapest in 1971, before learning exactly where my family was from – a small village in the north of Hungary. I'd love to return and look up relatives.

My mother's father was Armenian, but since he died young, I know little of Armenians, except for an occasional wedding or funeral as a child.

[I AM SPARTACUS]

17. really...they are inseparable refugee buddies...

...they eat from the same bowl, curl up together, they get mischievous with each other (the cat slaps the dog on the snout and won't back down...etc)

and they have great accents...

22. Cockney?

I know quite a few cockneys, and it has to be said I'm not one a great fan of the accent. I like Yorkshire accents but then again I would say that!

Nonetheless, as it is Yorkshire day today I will sing the Yorkshire national Anthem!

23. I like the way they talk in Monchista, brootha.

[gyopsy]

10. Italian

Those people sound like they're singing when they talk. And many popular operas were sung in Italian so maybe that's where I get that impression from.

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Australian...and Canadian...I love their accents

eh?

[GoddessOfGuinness]

13. I love all accents...

but I think my favorite is from Trinidad. A couple of friends of mine are originally from the island, and their speech is so lyrical...it makes me think of a mountain stream.

I love southern accents too...What a shame that it's so easy to associate Southern accents with conservative @$$holes.

[Cush]

15. Australian and Russian

kick

[nemo137]

18. Kiwi

It's so great to hear New Zelander's talk. Both what they say (a funny and sarcastic people) and how they say it (turning short e's into long e's and all the other little fun dialect things).

i also like the co. cork irish accent.

[newyawker99]

29. Congrats nemo137!! 400 posts

[nemo137]

33. thanks, esp. considering i was gone for a few months.

[WindRavenX]

19. Brit/German/Russian/ New Jersey

Quite a blend eh?

[JohnKleeb]

20. what kinda of brit

yeah I agree
heres my attempt at a cockney
say you see that bloody wanker freeperinvasion, aye I did, 'e was like an 'orse's arse and thinks 'es a big 'ellraiser.
What do you mean by brit?
like English? Scottish? or Welsh or Northern Irish* simliar to Irish.

[Scimmio]

21. definitely Wisconsin & Minnesota

I have long had a thing for the girls from America's Dairy Lands. Just to hear that 'Oh yeah' or 'Don't you know', always makes this boy's pulse accelerate.

[Interrobang]

24. I ran into a guy at a conference...

...who was from London, England originally, but his parents had moved the family to Israel when he was 12. He had the coolest accent I've ever heard. Too bad he was 50-ish, married, and Orthodox...not necessarily in that order! ;-)

[PunkinPi]

25. Scottish, British & Irish.

nt

[Sequoia]

26. Brazil & Tahati

that Porteguese language is the most beautfuly spoken. Tahaitans language is very beautiful with lots of vowels, sort of like the wind and waves.

[LuLu550]

30. Welsh

Very soft Celtic sound
LuLu

[mlawson]

32. English, as spoken by Jamie Oliver (The Naked Chef). n/t

[T_i_B]

35. The Mockney Wanker?

I don't care if he went on the anti-war march or not, Jamie Oliver is a twat. Living down in Essex as I do I hear far too much of that sort of accent.

On a side note, I would like to mention the wonders of the cornish accent. Now that is one good accent!

[Iris]

38. Virginia

The best southern accent.

[Jonte_1979]

39. I er liker the Kennedy accent

Pahk my cah in Mcarthur pahk.

[TheBigGuy]

40. German and Southern US accents.

my two favorites.
