Obviously lots of accents/dialects based on location like American southern, Australian or Jamaican. Anything like that is an acceptable answer. As well as non native english speaker’s spoken english sound, like a Latino/a person.
cockney; such wonderfully bizarre sounds.
I prefer peniselbow
Im sorry
Scottish, especially from the highlands. I melt when i hear it
Scottish is a good one, crazy how different it is from proper British. Such a small island.
Russian and Mexican
Russian sounds so intimidating. That probably just bias based on a lifetime of them being the bad guys in media.
Russian sounds so intimidating
That’s why I like it
Scottish. You can really get a good swear going.
Irish or Scottish.
Irish and Caribbean. The accents sound musical.
Irish accents really do sound musical.
“Favorite” as in “entertaining” is definitely the Boston accent because it makes you sound wicked smahht.
“Yo that fuckin kid ova theya, yeah that one, his name is fuckin sully ohr sum shit. Anyway, yeah, that kid, THAT FUCKIN KID, he fuckin suuuuuucks” Sully and the speaker are both 40 year old men.
I absolutely love hearing a woman speak with a French accent. Second best is an Australian accent.
i absolutely love indian accents genuinely i can’t help but smile listening to indians speak. their languages sound so poetic so hearing them speak english is like listening to a fae a little bit
It is actually nice when the person has better language proficiency in English. What people often make fun of on the Internet are many who either don’t know how to speak English or don’t know it well, and that’s pretty common and normal for that country of 1.5 billion. If you listen to any seasoned Indian journalist (especially a bit older), you’d hear that faint old English lilt (from the middle of the start of the last century). You will also find that in the way Pakistanis speak English. It’s very similar.
Interesting. Got any names I can search for to listen to this? Links to sound clips?
Within the US, west coast Asian American accents. I can’t explain it, but second generation Asian Americans have this very clear and neutral diction that is very easy to understand by anyone.
Outside of the US, probably Irish and Afrikaans.
Wales!
LOL welsh
So the really irish ones where you can’t understand more than half of what they are saying with the melodic lilt is like soothing. You can just listen to it purely for the sound of it. High class british sounds so classy though.
I miss Cajuns.
Are they gone?
No, but I am.
“Home is where you make it…”
I like most or all of them when the speaker has at least above-average proficiency. Except American. Esp. the one that rolls a lot and for long (probably from the South of the USA, I am not sure). That’s what makes it very hard for me to watch/hear most of the American content.
My favourite, though, is from my home country, which has a very slight tinge of (old) British accent (colonial leftover/hangover) and also the Middle Eastern accent (it’s close to home), again only if the speaker has very good proficiency.
West African or Indian.
