Which accent do you absolutely love?

Southern Irish where my parents were from and I have many relatives there. The Dublin accent is particularly appealing to me. Also Scouse, French and one which most people hate, Brummie because I am one!

Southern Irish too (sorry not NI). And Italian accent. I am fascinated always by Geordie, as it is the one English accent I cannot imitate for the life of me.

Hard to decide really. I love the Welsh accent and also Geordie. Yorkshire's not too shabby,either. I could name a couple I really don't like but, not wishing to offend anyone, I will keep it zipped!

Southern Irish. I love hearing my grandson-in-law speak in his soft lilting way,
Also Welsh. Just love it.

I class myself as a soft scouser there is a massive difference between my accent here over the River from Liverpool and the inner City itself.
Geordie is my favourite along with a soft Scottish lilting accent.

Most accents - Southern Irish , Scottish , West Country , Scouse ,Yorkshire and the Leeds accent since I watched Googlebox !
Those two sisters really make me laugh !
French and Italian
accents are appealing .

French, Italian, Spanish, Southern Irish, Shetland, Geordie, Glaswegian, Dutch, Swedish all so delicious

Brummie for me.

Brummie for me.

Oh! Oh! I could kiss you! 🥰
(Is Black Country acceptable?)

Dublin. Especially Northside Dublin. I follow the World Snooker Championship just to get my fix of Ken Doherty's commentary!

As I posted above, I love a Brummie accent because I am a Brummie. It's because if I'm away from Brum and I hear one it makes me think of home.

West Highland/Hebridean for me every time.

I absolutely love the Geordie accent, and Highland Scottish and the Western Isles. And I love hearing people from the Netherlands speaking English. There is one accent in particular that really grates on me, but I'm not saying which!

I'm not sure if I have a favourite accent in particular, but there are certain people whose voices I do love. I could listen to football boss Jose Mourinho talk all day, for instance - he's got a voice like melted chocolate!

I'm from Liverpool originally - still have quite a strong accent and I live in Newcastle.
My work takes me to one location and I'm welcomed by a lovely man who will call me 'hinnie / bonnie lass' and makes my morning a little brighter, although he tells me he loves my accent so it's a mutual ego boost I think!

I do love a Northern Irish accent and a Glaswegian one....

What a mix, Scouse + Geordie. Which one dominates or is it a 50/50 mix.

South Walien
French
Italian
Southern Irish

I actually think the Birmingham accent is awful but I love it because it's mine.

I love country accents, Essex, Suffolk and Norfolk especially.😍
Like in Detectorists.

Great to hear all your favourites, many and varied! I think I am particularly fascinated by all the different accents, although I couldn't identify most of them by region, because the Home Counties (where I have lived for the past 20 years after leaving London) is really mostly London overspill. For instance, Hertfordshire has no particular accent to call its own as far as I am aware, likewise Bedfordshire.

My daughter's partner still has a discernable West Country burr, despite having left his native Devon 20-odd years ago. I love hearing it!

Scottish and some Irish accents but I do not like the Liverpool accent.

The trouble is that in England regional accents are class-related. Received Pronunciation/Standard English is the same all over the country. Alexander Armstrong, for example, comes from Northumberland, but his accent doesn’t tell us that. I know there are other well-known examples, if only I could think of them. I personally know many northerners who have no local accent.

There are regional English accents I dislike, but I can’t think of any I particularly like. Welsh, Scottish and Irish are a different subject.

Geordie and Southern Irish for me, though Somerset always makes me feel happy for some reason.

Glammanana Do you find the scouse accent of years ago is very different to the very strong drawn out lazy sound of today? , I do, born and bred in Liverpool I would hardly believe it was the same accent

Geordie is miles ahead of Scouse for me which is in strong second place.
