    Default Which English accents/dialects do you find the most pleasing to hear or attractive?

    Anglophones of the forum, native and foreigner alike, which English accent, or dialect, tickles your fancy the most?

    Disclaimer:
    Spoiler!


    For me, my favourite is my own accent, the Oxonian Estuary, followed by Received Pronunciation, and then Wiltshire West Country.

    I like all the many dialects of English native to the British isles. Aberdeen and Edingburgh Morningside come to mind as especially pleasning to my ears.

    Scottish is badass so is Jamaican. Irish sounds energetic. English sounds very classy..not the posh ones. American sounds standard to me. Arabic accent sounds very annoying. Persian accent sounds very pansy, lol.

    The worst potential competition for any organism can come from its own kind. The species consumes necessities. Growth is limited by that necessity which is present in the least amount. The least favorable condition controls the rate of growth.

    Memory never recaptures reality. Memory reconstructs. All reconstructions change the original, becoming external frames of reference that inevitably fall short.

    Historians exercise great power and some of them know it. They recreate the past, changing it to fit their own interpretations. Thus, they change the future as well.

    Those who would repeat the past must control the teaching of history.
