Accents: what annoying/hot?

RainbowRose81

the nicest accents are Welsh, some English accents are nice, some Northern Irish accents and the Donegal accent. The Galway accent is nice. The New Zealand and Canadian accents are very nice.

The ones that are not so easy on the ears are the strong Dublin accents and the South Dublin accent- They seem to all talk in the same way and tone, They seem to use the word 'random' and 'totally' a lot and don't seem to say what they mean because many of them say the same things as each other especially the young ones. The Cork, Limerick and Kerry accents are not that nice, I find them hard to understand.

The Australian and American accents are not that nice. Some Scotish accents are horrible and a few of them are nice. I think the worse accents of all are the Liverpool accent and the accents Chinese have when trying to speak english. The accents Italian and other some other foreign men have when speaking English sound very sleazey and creepy.

For me it depends on who is speaking e.g. Boston accent on Mark Wahlberg so hot, or Liverpool accent on John Bishop definitely hot!

Hot: Monaghan, Cavan, Louth, Clare, Bristol, Scotland.

Not : Donegal, some Cork, South Africa, West coast USA

Fake accents are the very worst. That wan on the Kildare Village ad on the radio (fake American), - so irritating! - And also Duncan Stewart's daughter on the Eco-eye programme, she puts on the American twang but then forgets herself and reverts to a plain old Irish accent.

The Cork one is OK as long as it's not too strong. Same with the Dublin accent.

The Donegal and Scottish ones are good.

The CAHHAAVIN (cavin) accent is fairly funny, but would get annoying after a while. The Louth accent sounds like it's mentally retarded sister.

The Limerick accent is the dirtiest scummiest accent known to man. On a girl at least, not so bad on the lads

Ireland: I love the Clare accent (could listen all day), then Donegal and Galway, and then the rest of the counties and Dublin in no particular order.
European Continent: Don't like German, Scandinavian, or Spanish accents very much, but some French, Italian, and Eastern Europe are nice.
America: Northwest and Chicago are alright, not so much for the east coast. Really dislike New York accents. New Orleans has a French influence that makes it interesting and Virginia is a mild accent, so they are okay, but other southern accents set my teeth on edge (including Texas). Canadian accents differ by region but are all pleasant except the Quebec French sounds harsh next to those of France, particularly Parisian. I am not a fan of Latin American accents but some Caribbean accents are lovely.
No opinion on the rest of the world of accents.

Opinions, what distinguishes the clare accent from others? Everyone seems to think I have a nice accent but I really don't notice a strong difference to other areas which don't have an extremely distinctive accent!

It is difficult to explain, but it has a certain flow in the speech pattern that is sort of fluid and upbeat and soft, which makes it easy on the ear, at least to me.

OakeyDokey

Scottish, northern Ireland.

rorrissey

I remember there was a big poll done on this on the radio on what accents women liked best and first was Donegal and second was Caaavan wahey

The Cork accent is amusing from lads, very very unsexy from girls though. In terms of Irish accents, a south Donegal accent would probably be my preference, it's much softer and less harsh than most other Ulster accents. Otherwise, I think a French accent on a beure is pretty tasty.

Scottish girls, it's like they're riding your ears when they speak.
