Title says it all. Post what dialect and/or accent you find to be most attractive. It can be of any language, any region, any country, any people group, etc... Basically, I want to find out which way of speaking is most attractive to NSG. :)

Note: There is a difference between dialects and accents. Wiki says this: An accent is a manner of pronunciation of a language. Accents can be confused with dialects which are varieties of language differing in vocabulary, syntax, and morphology, as well as pronunciation. Dialects are usually spoken by a group united by geography or social status.

So keep that in mind.

Aerouish :wink:

I would have to second that. :D

German. Ladies speaking german is... whew.

not german!

dutch, spanish (all sorts), scottish, uppercrust southern (us), italian, french, irish (all sorts), others i suppose.

Oh boy.... :fluffle:

To be serious, any non-American accent is good for me.

I posted several times in a row without flirting with her... :(

Why does no one ever go for Mancunian in these things? :(

I love Southern Irish accents on girls. Also the San Franciscan accent.

I actually found the female Manchester accent whispering in my ear naughty things most pleasing. However I am a international man of mystery so really I have been a sucker for many a foreign female accents.

Caribbean, Australian, Argentinian, occasionally Quebecois.

You are a strange man. I'm from Manchester and I can't take their nasal accents. I've never been as happy as when I was at uni surrounded be people from outside the M60.

Perhaps the gal being naked while doing this had some effect on my brain? I know im just grasping for straws but it could be it. ;)

Because of the sound of a Mancunian accent.

I'll have you know I sound very responsible and mature and not at all scallyish and........

*Sobs* I just can't do it, I've heard myself on an answerphone.

Russian, Irish, German, South African/Rhodesian. I also love a nice southern twang.

It's not your fault, we might sound stupid but we Mancs are good in bed.

We have to be or we'd never breed. :$

Australian, anything from the UK and French.

There there. It's not your fault.

One more thing to blame on the parents/society.

There's a waiter at my favorite haunt, his name is David, he's from Leicester. *faints*

My husband makes fun of me.

Not going to disagree with this one. I could go on but I know there are kids reading these posts.

Seriously? (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SwpbtmFK4BM)

Well, I don't know about sexually attractive, but I've always liked Russian, Spanish, and Connecticut accents.

Edit: And Italian accents.

Scots or Irish!

Nanatsuish

Wouldn't that in all likelihood be Castilian?

And to answer the OP, I love my own (Russian) accent, but in terms of women, I find Italian, certain forms of Spanish (e.g. everything but Puerto Rican and Argentine), English, and Irish particularly nice.

Seriously? (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=SwpbtmFK4BM)

He doesn't sound like that silly. He's dreamy and he knows what Crunchies are and he made me tea and he told me where the English store is so I can buy candy and other foodstuffs from the UK.

Candy eh? Sounds like you got a little sweetie there. ;)

He's young. I'm trying to set him up with my single friend. He's rather cute. Hubby says I can have him, but I think he might be attached to me, so it wouldn't be fair. I have to pawn him off on another girl.

No, actually it would be Asturian...

I may be biased. I think James Blunt is a tool.

May I ask why so many people are so fascinated with Nanatsu? I mean, seriously, what does she have going for her, considering many of her really freaked out beliefs on a lot of subjects that most of you would be arguing rather passionately against if it weren't for the fact that Nanatsu is "hot."

Seriously, grow up.

I stand corrected.

Whenever I've been in a relationship with a Russian girl, we've just spoken Russian to each other...

Dude, she's hot, and Spanish, and wears cat ears.

What's difficult to grasp?

Its a little pathetic how everyone throws themselves at her feet. None of you ever have a chance to meet her, or get with her, or anything, and you worship her like a goddess. Its quite comical, yet sad.

Easy Kyro, based on my conversations with her on and off these boards I like her, regardless of whether or not I agree with her (and quite often I don't). If you can't handle the fact that there are people who like someone that you do not then you are the one who needs to grow up. You're just making it seem like you are jelous of her.

No one thinks anything will come of it. Flirting is fun, plain and simple. I'm a flirtatious person on and offline, so I flirt with anyone open to it...

I've only "known", Nanatsu, if you can even call it that, for around a day or two, as I'm relatively new here, and I haven't been one of the posters who flirts with her constantly, but she seems to me an agreeable and funny person. Why dislike her because other people like her?

It depends on who is delivering the accent.

Scandinavian accents are cool, Mainland Chinese can sound sexy in movies, I like a lot of English, Irish, Welsh and scottish accents, Dutch - mmm!
I'm an Aussie so I like most Aussie and Kiwi uccents.If they're too nasal it can be a problem.
I really like some American accents....but not a Bronx one.
I also like Canadian accents - they're rich.

That's not the issue. If it was a simple case of internet flirting, it'd be all fine and dandy. (I do it all the time with a whole bunch of people.)

The problem here is that with Nanatsu, they(In general, though not everyone) take it way too far. They practically worship her, and when she comes up with one of her beliefs that every single one of these worshippers would normally react with angry outcry over--I believe, among other things, she's a hefty supporter of eugenics--rather than even debating against her in a friendly manner, they go so far as to defend her from any sort of argument against said beliefs.

It's the hypocrisy I'm reacting against.

Or I was pointing out some rather ridiculous and hypocritical behavior.

I see nothing about my flirting with Nanatsu (or Ryadn for that matter) as either ridiculous or hypocritical. I don't do it because I think it's going to land me in bed with either of them, nor do I want it to, I am happily married. It is nothing more than a bit of fun with someone I like.

i dont believe that constitutes hypocrisy.

unless they diss others for going easy on their friends.

I honestly don't remember what the title was called...I think it was posted back some time in...April?

Ashmoria: I disagree, but we can agree to disagree on this.

And I'm done with ranting. I've thrown this thread far too much off topic already, and there's no reason to give the Mods even more potential reason to lock it or what have you.

I like the sound of Liverpudlian. Not the accent so much as the actual word, "Liverpudlian." It makes me giggle.

its not an important point anyway.

perhaps we can agree that there are times when the flirting gets so annoying that the participants should "get a room"?

I think it's more a matter of Kyro doesn't like her, and can't stand the thought that others do.

Yes, scouser. Really the only people I've heard with it are the Beatles, but that's enough.

Nah, I think it's more that a lot of people get bored with watching any poster, regardless of their personality, get followed from thread to thread by people with their tongues hanging so far out of their mouths that they're practically dragging on the floor. I'm all for a little internet flirting, heaven knows, but when the same harem seems to hijack every other thread, it gets a bit off-putting.

I'll stick with my theory since I don't recall seeing Kyro make a complaint about anyone else who gets a lot of attention.

People complained about me at the height of the Smunkee-cult. I think Poli is probably right. I know even I get tired of being mentioned in the OP of nearly every popularity thread.

Then why the whining about "but she says things they wouldn't agree with" bit? There are a number of people that a rarely agree with that I like regardless. Also a number of people that I usually agree with that I do not like at all.

Aye. If it's a worthless thread, like the annual office party, well that's what it's there for. But when a thread that interests me with it's political debate suddenly gets hijacked just because Nanatsu got involved, it makes me cry.:(

Well, not really, but you get the point. A thread getting hijacked now and then? Other posters do that, and I'm fine with that. heck, I'll admit, I do it quite often... But it's a NSG law by now, the more involvement that Nanatsu has in a thread, the more likely it is to get hijacked.

I probably could have worded this better, but I'm a little distracted with my Christmas games, so if you'll excuse me. :D

I forgot about the Smunkee-cult. In fact, I think it ended around the same time the Cult of Nanatsu began. She stole it from you!

I'll stick with my theory since I don't recall seeing Kyro make a complaint about anyone else who gets a lot of attention.

Well, the last person I can remember who had the same degree of obsessive fan-following was Tink, and that's been a while. Most every female on NSG gets the occasional joking marriage proposal or whatnot, and I don't think anyone minds that - it's the whole "We were having an actual interesting discussion in this thread, and now we have fifteen pages of people calling each other 'pookie-chan'" phenomenon that starts to grate on everyone.

i dont want to upset nanatsu by making her think that everyone who is not flirting with her hates her!

i find her a nice charming person and im glad she comes here.

I forgot about the Smunkee-cult. In fact, I think it ended around the same time the Cult of Nanatsu began. She stole it from you!

Nah, she stole it from Amor.....Peechland came back and stole Smunkee-cult from me.....I don't know who stole it from Peech.

Queen's English and Parisian French.

Oh, I don't hate her. I am continuously frustrated by the actions of her worshippers, but I certainly don't hate her, and if Nanatsu got that impression, I do apologize.

I can think of one... When it gets to the point where it really annoys me I just leave the thread even if the topic is something that interests me.

Hehe, I think NSG always does have an "It Girl" of sorts. Clearly we need NSG tabloids to help us keep track of whom we should be worshiping this week.

I've never had a cult, personally. I'm rather glad. I wouldn't know what to do with one. :tongue:

I have yet to see this phenomenon of people worshiping Nanatsu. o_0;;

It's 6 AM in Spain right now... I highly doubt she stayed awake all night to read this thread, so I'm assuming she hasn't read it yet.

Or are you talking about Maine and Vermont?Yes. I have a few friends in Maine, and they are ready to debate to the death that Missouri is not pronounced like misery. Just with different emphasis. (I swear, it is pronounced like misery!)

I love Canadian French even though I can't really speak it very well yet.

For good reason too...

And you're not from a northern state 900...

No, not from a northern state. However, I was taught how to speak by my grandparents, both sides of which are from northern states. One line from Connecticut, the other from New York City. I spent most of my time with them during my early years, and I've picked up much of their accents.

Not likely, since she's Poli. (And I'd be a part of said fan club anyway, though I would challenge Poli if I disagree with her, which I don't do TOO often, but do occasionally.)

Besides, Poli foils any attempts at fan clubs being made for her anyway.

So my assessment was accurate... (managed to quote you despite you deleting the post :p)

No, actually, that's not the issue. The issue is what I already stated: the hypocrisy, and the additional statements from others about how she tends to take over threads quite often.

Then explain your post that I quoted...
And no, I'm not letting this drop, because your initial accusation is bullshit. As is, I feel, your saying that you don't have a problem with her as evidenced by your comments about how it would be different if it was Poli who you do like.

Huh. Seventeen, and I would be 'ancient'? That's kinda sad. :p

The difference is two fold, and rather obvious.

1. The sheer amount of hypocrisy involved with the actions of many Nanatsu fanpeople.

2. The fact that I would challenge Poli if I disagreed with her, and I WOULD keep her fan club, as it were, from taking over everything.

When I spoke of being a member of Poli's fan club, by the way, I was speaking mostly in jest, because Poli is a friend of mine.

Now, can we please calm down? :tongue:

I've heard "his" voice, I think you're right GF...

In fairness, I don't think Kyro accused you, personally, of hypocrisy. He just mentioned it as part of why the Nanatsu-cult (or any such fan-club) gets on his nerves after a a while. I have no idea if you've ever personally been hypocritical, because I don't particularly follow your posts, but I can assure you that I have seen harem-members go all white-knighty on anyone who dares to criticize NnT as if she were any other poster before, and I'm sure it's that sort of thing that Kyro is quite fairly criticizing. It's tedious, and frankly I find it kinda insulting to NnT herself, since the general message I take from that behavior is, "Stop demanding that she defend her point of view like a rational adult! Can't you see that she's a hot chick?" It's pretty lame.

Anyway, this discussion is hijacking this thread pretty badly, so I think it might be time to let it go, no? After all, I really don't think Kyro's point from the beginning was "Let's all turn yet another thread into a discussion of Nanatsu, just without all the declarations of wub." :p

There was a sexiest voice thread? And I missed out?


Blasphemy!
Yup, I did it almost a year ago...
That sounds like it would have been a good time
It was

He posted it in response to a comment I made, including quoting what I said, that makes it directed at me.

I agree Poli, both points; Natsu is a big girl who can take care of herself, and wants to take care of herself, and lets keep this thread where its supposed to be.

Aus/NZ, Russian, Spanish and Chinese are sexy.

US Deep South and Bostonian are not.

Hehe, I think NSG always does have an "It Girl" of sorts. Clearly we need NSG tabloids to help us keep track of whom we should be worshiping this week.

I've never had a cult, personally. I'm rather glad. I wouldn't know what to do with one. :tongue:

I could happily start one for you should you change your mind ;)

I was being silly. *shrugs* I never found one particularly attractive though.

Let's see... accents I like are Quebecois, Dubbite, Kerry and Cork accents, Dutch accent when speaking German or English but not when speaking Dutch, and Bohemian when speaking German.
Dialects are fewer, I would definitely say Viennese, and possibly some Scottish dialects.

Well, hopefully you're right and it isn't. But it can take a long time for someone to point your foreignness out to you, in my experience - about three months went by before I got any criticism after moving West.

Meh...nobody has ever commented on my accent, from Huntsville, Alabama to Vatican City.

I get told by a lot of people that I lack an accent.

Upper class south Asian, Aussie, Kiwi, Sahel zone African, Castillian, Colombian, most of the UK/Ireland.

Quebecois

Many young Quebecois have typical North American accents now. Dunno how that happened.

Well, I don't like their way of talking English much. But Quebecois French.... mmmmmmmmm.

I'm not too fond of North American English accents, overall, sorry. They always sound so careless and sloppy to me.

There's a waiter at my favorite haunt, his name is David, he's from Leicester. *faints*

My husband makes fun of me.

Having lived in Leicester for 30 years I am siding with your husband.

I may be biased. I think James Blunt is a tool.

You go get your Leicestria....Leicestonia....Leicestris....

What the hell do you call someone from Leicester?

James Blunt is from Wiltshire not Leicester - I wasn't born here but you need to retract this unforgivable insult. :mad:

Wanker?

Leicestrians, though I think Leicesterfarians is more amusing.

Colombian. Everything they say sounds like they're hitting on you.

Colombian. Everything they say sounds like they're hitting on you.

...and in Juan Pablo Montoya's case hitting your car

Female Irish and Scottish, plus Italian.

As for Italian, I'd say that Romanesco is one of the most funny dialects.

Italian: "Cosa ti devo dire?" (what do I have to tell you?, meaning "I don't know what to say)
Romanesco: "Che tte devo dda ddì?"

Italian: "Alla faccia di tutti i tuoi più cari antenati!" (a form of insulting one's dearest ancestors)
Romanesco: "A l'anima de li mejo mortacci tua!"

Irish! Irish girls, yummy!:D

Ok, somebody has to explain this to me.
I've been living in Ireland for near enough 6 years now, and most of the girls I've seen here have no sense of clothes, overdo their makeup to the extend that many of them look like orange clowns with no eyebrows, and sound like rusty hinges without volume control.

Ok, somebody has to explain this to me.
"Mmm Catholics, the forbidden fruit"

"Mmm Catholics, the forbidden fruit"

*lol
But there are other Catholic places... look at France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Poland...

Meh.

Ladies with Eastern European accents do it for me.

German, Swiss German, and Hungarian preferably.

I could happily listen to Tea Leoni for ever

Oh, I don't hate her. I am continuously frustrated by the actions of her worshippers, but I certainly don't hate her, and if Nanatsu got that impression, I do apologize.

Kyro-kun, I know you don't hate me. And we've never had any problems. I just read the posts and I don't sense any animosity on your part. Don't worry.

Frankly, guys, it's fun when we have flirty exchanages and all, but lately, I'm getting tired of it. Mainly because I don't think many take me seriosuly, and that's sad. I like having fun, I wear cat ears and I like anime, I goof, I tell what I like, but also have serious concerns. I am also trying to stay low on the radar, the mods are getting angry at it and some posters dislike it.

The worshiping thing was a joke started by Santiago I, and it stayed there. If anyone else is taking it far enough, my sincere apologies to the affected parties. This is all I will say regarding this subject.

OP: Asturian accent, Madrilian accent and I absolutely love some English accents. (except Cockney!)

I could happily listen to Tea Leoni for ever

Please do...it means the rest of us don't have to.

No comment on this topic. :p

Japanese, French...

Oh, and for the record, I don't think Nanatsu's following happens that much due to her actions as due to who she is: An otaku girl with a sweet personality and, yes, very insightful posts that ARE serious when need be. The mods can curb her followers all they like, but surely they can separate her actions from those of her followers, as I'm sure Smunk didn't ever get modded for the actions of HER entourage... To be sure, I was thinking of suggesting her to op-hood, but I'm not exactly a follower - I do see her as a good friend, and a fellow otaku.

I absolutely love some English accents. (except Cockney!)

I like the Brummie accent, they always sound so friendly, and the Cockney, well what can I say, it always gives me a lil warm glow whenever I hear one!:D

Is it true there's not that many people anymore who can speak in that accent?

New Yawk City, of course. Some of the accents and dialects of the British Isles I find very sexy.... (I bet I'd like Welsh or the Yorkshire accent better if I could just understand what people were saying.... ;))

Is it true there's not that many people anymore who can speak in that accent?

Heh no, there are three that can see from where I'm sitting!

It's for the best, it's maybe the most retarded-sounding accent in the universe.

I forgot to add Australian and Austrian to my list.

On topic:
The only accents that I don't like are Northern US accents. They way they pronounce words gets on my nerves.
Whaddaya mean? ;)

Heh no, there are three that can see from where I'm sitting!

'ello guv'nah! :D

I like the way the Irish and the Scottish sound when they're speaking Gaelic.

I actually get a lot of good comments about my accent, because it is so... unique.

Which one of the New York accents?
Yeah, there's the Williamsburg accent, the Bensonhurst accent, Boro Park accent, the Bowery..... ;)

What? There's a Nanatsu mod-hunt and I wasn't invited?

All kidding aside, I do like you -- despite perhaps a rocky start. Doesn't mean I'll always agree -- but how boring would it be around here if everyone was all, "Oh, yes, me too," "I totally agree," all of the time?

I'm an RP whore. I'd do anyone with a perfect RP accent, regardless of gender, orientation, or looks [/hyperbole]

Oh and mellow Glaswegian on a girl is delicious as well.

French & Italian accents definitely do it for me. The British accent on either men or woman can be very attractive so long as it's the smoother accent rather than the rougher accent.

I think I mentioned it, but I get comments on my complete lack of an accent...

Do you work in radio perchance?

I also don't have much of an accent, but that's just being from a certain area in England that has more of a 'generalised English' accent.


I like Northern Irish, Welsh, French, Spanish, Italian, most Scandinavian, South African, some Yorkshire.

I dislike Scottish, Manc, Brum, Cockney, Liverpudlian, German, most North American.

Generally, I divide accents into 'strong' and 'gentle', the latter of which is pleasurable, the former grating.

I also don't have much of an accent, but that's just being from a certain area in England that has more of a 'generalised English' accent..

There's quite a few areas like that. The Cotswold, the Home Counties (well... crass generalisation, but whatever) etc. etc. Pretty much any affluent region, in the South.

(no, you don't have to say "yeah" all the time, but this one had subtitles trying to write it as it is spoken).

Southern (US), but not really heavy Southern. Georgia, Texas: love 'em. South Carolina: not so much.

Italian, Irish, German, upper-class/BBC English, Australian, Russian, Japanese, Korean.

Best:

-Irish
-Upper-class English
-The accent Afrikaners use when speaking English
-German
-Australian
-South Carolinan

-New York/North Jersey/Long Island
-Glaswegian
-Midwestern
-Gulf Southern (Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana)

You do realize that several voice actors and one differing screen actor have played her, right? Unless you mean the Southern accent that your imagination has generated. In which case, who's is it?

James Blunt is from Wiltshire not Leicester - I wasn't born here but you need to retract this unforgivable insult. :mad:

I've looked it up and I retract.

I was sure Blunt said he was from Leicester on Top Gear. Damn you Clarkson.

Well, you answer your own question with the word "most", don't you?

I'm thinking less of the brash, belligerent Irish stereotype and more of the Minnie Driver in Circle of Friends, dark haired, fair-skinned type, and the more reserved accent.

Uh...which end is that, specifically?


The opposite one to their catholic end, duh.

Not sure if both can be used for talking, though

God, you're not talking the Catherine-Tate kind of Irish nurse, are you?

It matters not from where an accent or dialect originates as these are particular to various regions. What is more important is learning to speak properly especially when using *English* English.

Russian ~ I helped a tourist find his way and despite him being much older and obviously with his wife, his accent still had me pleasantly, tingly warm for the rest of the day.

Australian ~ Mmm.. we have an Australian tech support guy and when I call I have the urge to kick my computer a few times just to cause more problems and keep him on the line.

Japanese ~ This might be simply because I've acclimated myself to it but I find it such a turn on when spoken softly.

Yes I do actually :p.

But I had this whole non-accent thing going on forever, people tell me I talk like a gameshow host.

Why does no one ever go for Mancunian in these things? :(

I love the Oldham accent. Yeah, I disgust myself sometimes :p

for me, its british accents of most sorts, except lancashire, which is just horrible. as can be welsh accents.

american accents can be attractive, and certainly australian. other than that... not sure. maybe germans speaking english, but i'm probably biased due to having german relatives and visiting the place relatively often.

For some reason, I really like British accents. Southern accents can make me melt too.

i have a southern British accent, heh :wink:
its kinda no accent... what i would consider a 'blank' english accent (but then i would, wouldn't i?)

Yes I do actually :p.

A Canadian (english) accent/dialect (yes it's both).
Attractive because it's not British, and definitely not American.

Accents, languages, whatever: Italian, Czech, Irish, Welsh, New York. Not necessarily in that order.

A strong Southern accent does it for me-love anyone who properly uses "y'all".

No really it's a great accent that blends the Norwegian accent and Midwestern english into an artful dialect. It's beautiful to hear the occasional tonality of the Duluth dialect. A refreshing alternative to Standard American English.

not german!

dutch, spanish (all sorts), scottish, uppercrust southern (us), italian, french, irish (all sorts), others i suppose.

Oh God, there are very VERY few Southern women who can pull off that accent. Most of them just sound like a Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck joke in the making.

As for me, accents really don't do it for me.

How is it trollish to like a correctly-used "y'all"? English has no second person plural pronoun. And in the right, sultry version of the accent south of the Manson-Nixon line, it's quite alluring.

Does Sarah Palin have a Minnesota accent? It's the closest thing to her voice that I can think of, but she doesn't live in Minnesota. It confuses me.

It's not exclusive to Minnesota. It's Scandinavian background + suburban/rural lifestyle. It's just more common in the Upper Midwest.

English has no second person plural pronoun.

Actually "you" is a plural form. English lacks a singular second person pronoun - must be overdone politeness or something :p
