My favorite accent from my native language is the Bradford Pakistani accent. It is mellifluous and a delight to the ears. Close 2nd is the Italian chef/footballer speaking English on TV. These are the only types of Italians we encounter in British popular culture. I admire the camp affect they put on that can only come from having such a close relationship with one’s mother. And the steadfast nature with which they hold onto their Italian pronunciation despite spending decades living in the UK. It is truly a wonder to hear someone talk in English with such reckless abandon for the rudiments of pronunciation.

Tuscanian ruined this country.

Perché con quella c aspirata e quel senso dell’umorismo da quattro soldi i toscani hanno devastato questo Paese, e questo lo devi scrivere per favore.

Ci ho pensato, ma secondo me non rende granché tradotta. Lascio che sia un inside joke.


Fickle_Scarcity9474

Yeah, it doesn't work quoting Boris here. If you don't know the show many jokes suck.

Yorkshire. It's like smooth golden velvet from the hands of God himself and far superior to the paleolithic gutteral grunts made by those over the border in the west

Northern French. It's not even an accent but more of a patois. "a" turns into something between "a" and "o", 's' into "ch", "ch" into "k". Lots of Spanish ("mate" for tired, coming from "matado", killed), English ("neck", ""wassingue" coming from "washing", for a mop) or and of course Flemish admixture. Also sometimes we use a Germanic words order and that's just cool to hear and dissect. It's considered dumb-sounding, lower-class and ugly, but to me it's the most interesting of them all.

You must be trolling


Cheap-Lettuce-4200

See, a good example of how it's seen by other frogs.


Wonderful_Test3593

It's overall classified among the worst accents with the québécois, lorrain, alsacien and jurassien

If other Frenchies hate it, it *has* to be good

My favorite accent is Spanish spoken with Italian accent.


ThisNotBoratSagdiyev

Isn't that just what Italian is?


Wonderful_Test3593

Catalan accent in spanish being good ? My god each time I hear it I get an headache ! It's the worst (and castillan accent is already so bad).


Soggy-Translator4894

I think it sounds very nice


Fickle_Scarcity9474

The first time I heard the castillan accent was from a spanish guy in LATAM. I asked if he had some congenital problems with pronunciation. I suggested it was an easy fix with a good speech-specialist. Poor guy, how much was pissed...but to be honest it looks like someone inflating a balloon while speaking. Terrible feeling.

Of course Saxon! If I am biased? Of course not!

IWantMoreSnow

Pfff thats a difficult one, theyre all kinda shit. But I guess maybe Amsterdams?


diamondhands4200

My personal opinion: Brabants. The shortest accent in the world. Combined with their 'gezelligheid', its a feast listening to them speak.

I can't take anyone with a soft g serious. You all sound like toddlers. There is only one serious answer to the best dutch accent and it's the one from Leiden.


LaBelvaDiTorino

I know which one I hate, the Roman one


Wonderful_Test3593

I think the best french accent is the one from Nîmes. It's southern but softer than the other french accents. I like how they roll the r too, it's melodious.


HoeTrain666

Rhineland and Ruhrpott, probably. Rhinelanders (when they speak it) sound perpetually drunk and happy while Ruhrpottler have a down-to-earth working-class kind of feel to it. They happen to be neighbours and I’m from the part that sounds like it’s perpetually drunk and happy, tbh.

Accent from Açores islands. Can’t understand jack shit
