World's worst accent?
 

German is a given as the worst scariest accent - so what accents are vying for the 2nd worst accents?

Buffalo, NY/Chicago - you could have a PhD in astrophysics and still sound like a moron.

i dont know but i just watched a video of a french girl getting fucked and loved hearing her speak french during the sex!! its why I married one!

STUPID brits.. Not brits, just the stupid brits



I was once on a 3 days Mylex product training seminar, and the speaker in the sales-pitch segment, was a female salesperson that spoke that way.

I cant remember a single word she said, I just remember wanting to strangle her.


English with a strong Finnish accent is bad as well, but not as bad as this

Limburgs. The Dutch people will know what i'm talking about :P

I read "World's worst accident?".

The voice itself it's awful...

I'd beg to differ with German being the worst--the accent I hate most is Ulster (Northern Ireland). It's very harsh. The southern Irish accent is much softer. Some South Africans (those who speak Afrikaans, I'd say) also have an ugly accent, IMHO, too.

BTW, American girls seemed to really like my London accent... that's why I haven't lost it even after almost 30 years in the US.

I believe New Jersey Italian has the above beat by a mile. Southern Indiana is also very bad on the "what????" scale, the only worse I can think of is backwoods Louisiana.

Asian. My Calculus teacher in college Bs And 3s sounded the same

Baltimore/Philly/mid-Atlantic hon. Does not get worse. Recall any old John Waters movie if it does not immediately come to mind.

Liverpool... :2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Brits have great accents - from the sophisticated Oxford accent to Cockney. I love listening to video tutorials with British speakers, I pay more attention.

i don't know what that accent sounds like really - all I know is it would have to be pretty bad to beat the Great Lakes accent found in Buffalo and Chicago.

South African accent is pretty annoying.

German is the the worst, sounds horrible...
Brit and french accent will get you some ass in the US no doubt :thumbsup
Spanish accent is too close to the latino accent

NYC accent is the absolute worst.

British and French accents are nice. The Eastern European accents are comical, even before Borat. Spanish accents aren't bad, who doesn't like Speedy Gonzalez and Ricardo Montalban?

Southern US accents are interesting.

It's amazing how accents usually reflect national and regional characteristics.

That Japanese guy from Heroes. Wost. Accent. Ever

I hate drunken slobberish too

he - why you no like ze german accent??? :glugglug

as a non native english speaker i have a hard time to understand scottish and australian people sometimes...

but blaming people who are not native speakers for their accents is kind of uncool anyways. how many other languages do you speak without accent, Mutt?

Boston accents drive me insane!

not sure which is the worst, but any accent where they inexplicably completely leave out letters in the pronunciation of words is kind of lame


like when some pronounce the word "card" and make it sound like "cod"

or those that say "di-int" when they are trying to say "didn't"

:2 cents:

Scottish accents im not a fan off. Nor the typical U.S.A frat boys accent, but that may be because I just don't like them.

I love girls with Irish accents.

I used to hate family reunions because of the Irish. I have uncles that went to their grave with me never understanding a word they said.

Definitely Australian. At least their rural accent.

Brummies in terms of the British Isles.

Globally - A West African/Nigerian accent often sounds aggressive.

Totally love aussie accent. Russian & German are pretty bad

did ya us/en talkn guys ever think bout how yer bad mouth wud sound in german? ;)

aber wer von euch kann überhaupt EIN wort in deutsch ausser "scheisse"? rofl

We don't have accents in southern Indiana. :upsidedow

French is the sexiest... OUI OUI!!!!

Jesus, really? To me the Australian accent sounds sexist and stupid (in the same way that the South African one sounds racist.)

Boston
People from Wisconsin. At one of the shows in jamaica i met this girl from wisconsin. I couldnt understand a word she was saying. It sounded like canadian, while eating 5 pieces of bread.

I was told, (can't verify it's truth) but supposedly the midwest doesnt have an accent.
I'm no linguist though.

Hmm, but they sound so polite in their emails.
Duke

Come on .. Newfie is bad and good at the same time .. can't understand them till your drunk to the nuts as well ..

You've got that right Duke...That's why most of your News anchors are from the midwest because we don't have an accent:thumbsup

Mutt, what you talking about Willis:disgust

They don't really, some phonetically differences just don't uhmm *translate* well.. And your anti german thing might have more to do with your circumcision than anything else imo..

No offense to any Hungarian peeps out there, but the Hungarian accent is horrible when they speak English.

That is not all, Hungarian society as a whole is all about kissing America's ass. Yet, they can't show the most basic form of respect by pronouncing words properly!!!

Take for instance the word "three" for the number 3.

Since they have an extreme hard time pronouncing the "TH" in three, instead of saying TREE, they say SREEEEEE

so, Mr and Mr Smith becomes Mr and Mrs SMISSSSSS for instance
South Park becomes SAUSSSSSSSS PARK
etc etc

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I use to date a Hungarian chick before, she didn't really talk much since my cock was always in her mouth :pimp

LOL :thumbsup

Germans speaking English don't sound that bad, it's Germans speaking German that sound scary, lol :)

Russian for me.. I don't like the accent at all. I love Irish and Spanish accents.

Also got a soft spot for those LA chicks with their rich girl accents lol. Accents like Kourtney Kardashians.. love hearing hot chicks talking to each other.

Bahaha, about a third of the relos I know are Hungarian. "Ssreee" lol.. I don't mind it obviously, but it's a funny language to listen to in full flight.

Well, er.. Isn't that just ascribing traits you've picked up through the media from prominent figures and events to the country's? ;)

i don't have a problem with any accents. we're all different, that's something to embrace, not bitch about. travel beyond north america. jesus.

How many of you native English speakers speak ANY other language? I mean SPEAK, not asking "how much?" in Spanish. I speak 2 not including my native one.
Have you ever heard an American speaking Czech? Haha! And you're saying Russian accent is bad? Oh come on... :)

One thing I've always found funny is how interviews with Brits or Aussies/New Zealanders sometimes have subtitles in the US.

Quebecois accent. It's like american french. Sorry Jean-Francois, sorry Ariel ;)

Birmingham, England.. terrible accent sounds like they've got a cold.

Andalucia, Spain.. They sound like they have a speech impediment and drop letters all the time.

Dutch people speaking english, not terrible but funny as they always stress the wrong part of the sentence. Although my Dutch is probably terrible to them, hehe.

South African is horrible, but I love Australian.

The sheep do not like German because Hollywood portrays Germans as evil.
