I have a friend that likes girls with British accent. His girlfriend has a British accent and that fascinate him. If a girl or guy has an unusual accent does that fascinated or annoys you.

I find the Jamaican and New Zealanders accent totally incomprehensible. I used to find the South African/Zim accent incomprehensible too, until I started sharing house with a Zim 2 weeks ago. . . I enjoy hearing Ghanaians and Indians speak.

Hate the British accents except the scouser's (manchester, liverpool, newcastle)

Love the Irish accent. Especially coming from a woman.

Can't understand a word of the typical scottish accent.

Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by Bruekeleen: 11:06am On Jul 11, 2007
Enough of these "being to accents." I"ll go for a calabar accent any day. Rspecially from Uyo.
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by chuckdee4(m): 11:43am On Jul 11, 2007
Love an irish accent, it almost sounds like they're singing
An Italian trynna speak English is nothing short of comical
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by bluesky4(f): 11:47am On Jul 11, 2007
It annoys me when Nigerians put on a fake British accent, it just ruins it.
The British accent is very diverse, but i can't stand the Welsh accents.
has anyone noticed that a British accent only works when the person is British. Even when American actors try and do the British accent is sounds wrong.

I love the Irish and the French accent.
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by adechuks(m): 11:54am On Jul 11, 2007
how come no-one has talked abt a Hausa babe speaking lovely english, with the lilting accent.
or the calabar man that operates okada in port harcourt.
One you love, the other you cant but find amusing.
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by pololo(m): 12:08pm On Jul 11, 2007
PPl why not compare the nigerian accents, Lagos yoruba i like , other yoruba accents i hate , i wander why we never really look inward when topics are posted, rather than concor to the Neo colonised views, we know we all are diversed by were we are domiciled but we are nigerians by blood and this is our forum.
Country ppl talk to me.
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by RichDad1(m): 12:16pm On Jul 11, 2007
@pololo ,
Thanks joooo.

@all
Lets talk about our own accent.Love hearing a typical Oyo or Ijesha man speaking english, grin
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by adechuks(m): 12:34pm On Jul 11, 2007
@pololo
i think your present environment immediately matters when contributing to posts, as someone in ontario or seattle will see less ijesha men than the one in oke-imesi.
and a yoruba person like me would really never have known what these calabar okada riders sound like, save for the imitations from comedians.

so it's ok to contribute and talk about welsh and new zealand, or southern (as in Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi) accents.

i was just wondering why we all missed out the ibo way of calling orange "olange". (twas so hilarious hearing that on the streets of Orlu)

It may facinate me 4 a while.
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by Nobody: 1:47pm On Jul 11, 2007

Italian accent is fantastic, i detest the russian accent

For Nigerian

All accents are fantastic and funny as well,
Re: Accent That Fascinates Or Annoys You? by sparkandy(m): 4:35pm On Jul 11, 2007
I love the Hausa people speak, french, Italians as well as the mexicans but I don't really like the british accent. smiley
