12. Argentine
Famous tongues:Fernando Lamas,
Gabriela Sabatini

A historical refuge for Spaniards, Italians and Germans, the hyper-libidinous South Ameripean melting pot of Argentina has cultivated a proud, pouty tone. With its own pronunciation of Spanish letters (“ll” sounds like “shh”) and its own words (“you” is “vos”), this is a dialect that’s hard to get.(Or at least plays that way.)

Sounds like: A tightly tuned guitar of G- strings strummed by a lamb shank

11. Thai
Famous tongues:Tony Jaa, Tata Young

With five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction. Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more. (Or at least asking “Huh?” lustfully.) Sounds like: R-rated karaoke

10. Trinidadian
Famous tongues:Nikki Minaj, Billy Ocean

For fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, is sex on a pogo stick.

Sounds like: A rubber life raft bobbing on a sea of steel drums

9. Brazilian Portuguese
Famous tongues:Alice Braga, Anderson Silva

Perhaps owing to its freedom from French influence, the Brazilian Portuguese accent has a more colorful, puerile flair than its coarser European counterpart.The
resulting yowl of drawn-out vowels reveals a flirty freedom of spirit that sounds like a permanent vacation.

Sounds like: The near, then far, then near again hum of a low-wattage vacuum cleaner that runs on dance sweat

8. U.S. Southern
Famous tongues:Matthew McConaughy, Britney Spears

There’s nothing sexy about being in a hurry, and you could clock the growth rate of grass with the honeyed drawl -- less Tea Party, more “True Blood” -- of a Southern beau or belle.

Sounds like: Molasses taking a smoking break

7. Oxford British
Famous tongues:Hugh Laurie, Sienna Miller

Authoritative.Upright.Erudite.Scholarly.Few accents promise the upward nobility of the Queen’s English.It’s a take on the language that sets hearts devoted to James Bond and Hermione Granger aflutter.And, should the speaker fail to slake your most wanton desires, eh, at least you’ll learn something.

Sounds like: A crisply ironed shirt playing a harp

6. Irish
Famous tongues:Colin Farrell, Andrea Corr Valued slightly more
in men than in women, the Irish brogue is a lilting, lyrical articulation that’s charming, if not exotic.Fluid and uplifting, it can swing from vulnerable to threatening over the course of a sentence, restoring your faith in the world again … right before it stabs you with a broken bottle top.

Sounds like: A marauding pixie

5. Nigerian
Famous tongues:King Sunny Adé, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde

Dignified, with just a hint of willful naiveté, the deep, rich “oh’s” and “eh’s” of Naija bend the English language without breaking it, arousing tremors in places other languages can’t reach.Kinda makes the occasional phone scam worth the swindle.

Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth

4. Czech
Famous tongues : Petra Nemcova, Jaromír Jágr

Like Russian, without the nettlesome history of brutal, iron-fisted despotism, Czech is a smoky, full-bodied vocal style that goes well with most meats. Murky and mysterious, the Bohemian tone is equal parts carnal desire and carnival roustabout.

Sounds like: Count Dracula, secret agent

3. Spanish
Famous tongues:Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz

Sensual and beckoning, but with the passion to unleash hell kept just barely restrained, Castilian is like a dialectic Hoover Dam.But then there’s the lisp.Tender, vulnerable and cute as a baby’s hangnail -- no one owns the “th” sound formed by tongue and teeth like those who speak the language of Cervantes.

Sounds Like: An outboard motor on Lake Paella

2. French
Famous tongues:Sophie Marceau, Jean Reno

The demotion of this perennial prizewinner of global brogues to second place may illustrate the declining sexuality of Old World petulance.Still, the come-hither condescension and fiery disinterest of the French tongue remains paradoxically erotic.

Sounds like: A 30-year-old teenager

1. Italian
Famous tongues:Monica Bellucci, Alessandro Del Piero

Raw, unfiltered and as grabby to ears as its president is to rears, the Italian accent is a vowelgasm that
reflects the spectrum of Italic experience: the fire of its bellicose beginnings … the romance of the Renaissance … the dysfunction of anything resembling a government since Caesar. Insatiable, predatory and possessive, this is sex as a second language.

Sounds like: A Ferrari saxophone

Italia all d way. Btw naija ranks 5th *dancing scale-ewu







A typical igbo man speaking english....mehn dat one shld rank first,,hmm

And they had to mention scam in our description. Won't stop me from loving the Nigerian accent anyway. To all those secondary schools who want their students and teachers to sound foreign by all means, you have one less customer.

See the beauty of our accents and way of talking. Don't mind all this yeye people that keeps forming oyibo and americanna especially actors and actresses. What's "gonna" n "wanna". Sounds stupid when a nigerian says it and then still mixes it up with our own version of english. We should take pride in our ways of life.

I have a feeling dis will make front page

I tire. Why did they have to mention scam in that very short description? It's kinda true. But this shouldn't be confused with improper pronunciation of words. Learn the proper pronunciation of words but keep your accent. I know it's a fine line but trust me, there's a difference.

brazilain,spanish,italia.i love their accent especially when those girls speak.

no time to waste time.

I rep Naija

Ok

yomskin: Italia all d way. Btw naija ranks 5th *dancing scale-ewu







A typical igbo man speaking english....mehn dat one shld rank first,,hmm

Wat a good news to end d year...!!

That's nice...but not the typical igbo,hausa or yorubaman's accent..nah that's not sexy

It's obvious naah, someone who speaks English fluently in Nigeria will almost have no problem communicating in English language countries. The annoying thing is when some Nigerians mistake the Ghanaian accent as interesting and the best, I mean who finds that sluggish way of pronouncing words as something good ? You can't even appear angry when you try to speak ghanaian.

And there're sometimes when we try to pronounce words the way the owners of a word pronounce it such as the way a French man will pronounce Paris as 'Parie' I'm Nigerian and I will fuckin call it Parisss.

One thing I find funny is some dumb Nigerians going around saying Ghanaian accent and I am like what's the difference between Ghanaian accent and a typical Hausa man speaking English... we just won't appreciate ourself

Naija accent is so cool that the occasional phone scam is worth the swindle ROFLMFaO

Dhelake: One thing I find funny is some dumb Nigerians going around saying Ghanaian accent and I am like what's the difference between Ghanaian accent and a typical Hausa man speaking English... we just won't appreciate ourself
