Accents, Do you have a fav?

Any Scottish Highland accent. Or County Cork.

Ooh yes.
I love the gentle highland accent.

French eg Michel Barnier

West Country - even so that can vary greatly so I mean a gentle burr and the same with Welsh as some are lilting and musical and others are quite harsh.

I like the Potteries accent too

SCOTTISH IRISH AND CORNWALL AND SOME WELSH,SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS POOR EYESIGHT

I adore all accents too. Love Jamie Carragher commentating with his hypnotic Liverpool twang, Irish is beautiful, Birmingham accent is friendly, and Welsh Huw Edward’s reading the News! Mind you Huw Edward’s is gorgeous too, putty in his hands I’d be!! ???

I like most accents and think that it's a pity that so many people have tried to lose them. Favourites - Suffolk (Ralph Fiennes does a pretty good job in The Dig) and the American deep south just like Reginald D Hunter.

Love Brummie and Irish, not at all keen on Mancunian

I think it's great having such a variety of accents in the UK and we should enjoy and encourage them all. It's good that accents other than RP are now acceptable in the media.
I'm Scottish and like many of our country's varied accents. I do really love hearing a Welsh accent though.
Really like the French language in general and also think English spoken with a French accent sounds lovely.

A particular South African accent. My test is how they say wildebeest. I love the shifting ee. Plus all other accents. Not forgetting the ‘authentic’ pronunciation of Shakespeare (Ben Crystal) - lovely touches of Brummie.

We had a repair man visit the other day and he had a lovely voice and a Belfast accent. Not one I would single out as pleasant to listen to but he had a gentle, calming voice. For me it is the sound of the voice (timbre?) not particularly where a person comes from. At the moment (probably because of Trump-ites and too much U.S. television) I am finding many American accents really annoying. I have to turn the sound off some programmes! Again it is the whining, mangling, slurring, nasal gurning sounds that annoy me the most. Oh dear I have spent too long indoors!

Love a Irish accent! But thank you as I am a unashamed Geordie and won’t apologise for it! I would like to think I’m a posh Robson green but I’m told I’m not ha ha??

I like all regional accents; it would be a shame if we all sounded the same. London Cockney is my favourite though, then I feel at home even though I left London years ago.

And how could I forget my own dear late DH's lovely soft Lancashire accent? Miss him.

Lovely to have so many accents to listen to. Love Southern Irish (family memories), French, Italian and Brummie. Dislike Cockney and American.

My all time favourite is native Gaelic speakers (Irish or Scottish) when speaking in English.

I have a Belfast accent and cringe whenever I hear myself. I’ve lived in Canada over 35 years and people here tell me how they love my accent, I had one woman tell me she could listen to me talk all day long?

Geordie , absolutely no contest.

Totally with you on that one!

Not sure what the accent is, but I could listen to "Amy" from Emmerdale all day.

I love the southern USA accent but in the UK has to be sussex

Having grown up in the Lake District it has to be Cumbrian for me - though I can understand it probably isn't on anyone's list!

I love Irish accent.Also Yorkshire,husband from Yorkshire.Im from black country.Thankyou to those who like it.??

I love the southern Irish accent, North Wales and Inverness accents.

The spanish accent does for me and also like the latino look .

Definitely Geordie, then Welsh a close second.

Can't say I dislike any accent. Some I find more difficult than others to understand but then I find it hard to understand a lot of folk who mumble, hardly bother to open their mouth when speaking no matter what accent.
