haha maybe use a dictionary to look up the correct spelling of 'discernible' Lioncourt. Also, it's very rude to call French people 'frogs'.

UK wise I think my faves are Northen Ireland & the West country (Dorest & Devon - Cornish can be a bit strong). This is quite an interesting survey on most & least popular UK accents:

Globally speaking.....hmm I must admit I'm struggling to think of many that I like - I think I'd probably go for a soft aussie accent. Least favourite would have to be South African, which is quite interesting (well interesting to me anyway) as alot of people seem to confuse Aussie & South African accents.
Good question - accents are fascinating - I remember hearing some time ago that it is possible to be amazingly accurate in locating where someone was brought up ie localities within regions, by careful analysis of their accent.
The whole issue of accent modification when people move is also fascinating....

Some very strange answers! Someone likes Spanish(a language not an accent) and others AUSTRALIAN - what a surprise! I always think it sounds like someone being slowly strangled!!!! If we are talking ACCENTS (note the word) I like the Geordie accent (this is a North Eastern English accent for any foreigners) and also the Cornish Accent (South West English accent).

I don't just see accents as coming from countries but from regions. Language patterns are so intense that my accent has changed since I moved 8 miles three years ago.
I love accents which I have heard while travelling in the United States, particularly in the Southern States of Virginia.

For humour: Irish
For smoothness: French
For pain: German
For masculinity: Italian
For originality: English
For best brand-awareness even though it isn't an accent, but in-fact many: British

Well i don't care for the Brits, Frogs or Aussies....guess it would be a NON DICERNABLE accent with a lavish usage of the English dictionary for a change.....
