Are These The World's Sexiest Accents? by taurus21: 5:47pm On Sep 18, 2014 |
13. 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. 12. Thai Famous tongues: Tony Jaa, Araya 'Chompoo' Hargate 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. Sounds like: R-rated karaoke. 11. Trinidadian Famous tongues: Nicki 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, can be sex on a pogo stick. Sounds like: A rubber life raft bobbing on a sea of steel drums. 10. 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 suggests a permanent vacation. Sounds like: The near, then far, then near again hum of a low-wattage vacuum cleaner that runs on dance sweat. 9. U.S. Southern Famous tongues: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Lawrence There's nothing sexy about being in a hurry, and you could clock the growth rate of grass with the honeyed drawl of a Southern beau or belle. Sounds like: Molasses taking a smoking break. 8. Scottish Famous tongues: Ewan McGregor, Rose Leslie Some of the vocal strangulations heard echoing around Glasgow are registered as a danger to shipping, but in less industrial corners of Scotland melodic voices capable of ranging a full octave in a single "aye" tumble like soft rain on warm bagpipes. These are gentle, knee-melting tones that conjure cozy firesides and beguiling knitwear before their sudden swing to reproach leaves us whimpering for more. Sounds like: A stroked tartan cat. 7. 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 6. Nigerian Famous tongues: King Sunny Ade, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Dignified, with just a hint of willful naivete, 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. Sounds like: The THX intro with teeth. 5. Queen's English Famous tongues: Benedict Cumberbatch, Keira Knightley 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. 4. Czech Famous tongues: Petra Nemcova, Jaromir Jagr 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: Marion Cotillard, Jean Reno 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, 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 Which is your favorite accent? http://edition.cnn.com/2014/09/17/travel/sexy-accents/index.html |
