Hello Angel,

I love em all. Each and every accent conveys something about the person and where they come from.

I also love all the different dialects each country provides for the same reason.

I am American and find ALL of them charming;-)

Lou & Bump!

The thing is there is no single Accent for any of those places, each, especially England, has a wide range of regional accents!

Difficult question to answer.

I love Geordie, Manc and Cockney accents if we're talking English. Scottish, I love those from Edinburgh. and Irish, I like a Dublin accent more than one from say..cork.
Welsh I can do without.

Welsh. Especially after 'I like blinking, I do'.

Although, having moved to Brum, I found that accent quite grating. Especially the Black Country one. And it hurts me that I've started to go a bit Brummy :-(

I've never heard the Welsch accent ( I don't think), so I will go with Irish. I love the English/Britsh accent!

I made a post at first but i had read it wrong and put what ones i like the most...lol.

i guess the least would be welsh only because i'm not sure what they sound like...then irish cuz i think of leprechauns...

Then scottish because it's a little hard to understand sometimes, but still sexy. mmmm and then english. anywhere in england sounds sexy. especially liverpool. I want to marry a scouser.

Seriously though they're all way sexier than american accents (I'm from the US)

Definitely Scottish!

oh my, I hate that too when people are trying to be smart ***. seriously, they deserved to be hit by flying pidgeon.

anyways, back to your question, I'd love to hear them all because you guys in Britain have one of the most amazing accents in the world.

Dya know what I mean?

how about you?

Hard scottish

Don't want to offend anyone here, but I just can't stand the Welsh accent. I love Scottish and Irish accents, and the different dialects of the English accent...particularly Geordie are just great!!!

northern irish! its very harsh and reminds me of being shouted at by the teachers of my catholic school. i like southern irish tho, the rest are cool too.

Welsh

Scottish-not because i don't like it-i just do not have a clue what their saying lol

Anna

Northern Irish! Its the perfect combination...slightly less intense than a republic of ireland irish accent but interesting and sexy. I also love a posh English accent (typical newsreader accent) and scottish works really well on TV! I dont know enough welsh people to comment :(

I am English....with a southern accent, hoping to move to northern ireland soon! j/k

helen

welsh cos i cant really understand them, or being a scot, glaswegian can be really awful!!!

Scottish, they make damn sure nobody else can understand them although to be honest ..

i dont understand the cockney, but we wouldnt class that as an English accent ..

you are forgettin that each one of the counties has their own dialect districts too .. so the question is profoundly unfair

Out of those 4, I would go with the Welsh.

Mr TEL

Scottish. They treat pronunciation as if it was a lump of Play Dough!

Scottish, the Irish is LOVELY

Love the Welsh accent.

There is no such thing as a “Scottish” accent, people in the highlands and Aberdeen speak with a more rough tone, like Willy from the Simpsons lol.

People from Dundee have a fife accent, with words such as “ken” and the like.

People in Edinburgh sound English.

People in Glasgow mainly sound like Billy Connolly, although there are many different Glaswegian accents, just depends where in Glasgow you are from.

I suspect this is the same for England and Wales too.
