    I don't know why, but something about Germans speaking English is very satisfying (provided that they speak it well, which admittedly the vast majority of them do). Dutch and Scandinavians also have very pleasing English accents to listen to for similar reasons.

    French-accented English is sensual.

    No.
    I have to agree with the fellow @Zeus above, Indians have the worst possible accent by far, I don't even know how could someone make a more annoying accent than that.

    Egyptian, Indian, Chinese are the funniest. The Dutch are also cringy because they're pretty good but still not perfect when trying to imitate the english accents, so they end up sounding like tryhards.

    Are you guys aware that the so-called Indian accent is in fact Welsh accent? That's because the very first British invaders Indians encountered was Welsh regiment.
