Worst international accent?

mr_fegelien

Consider anything outside the Irish, English, and European accents (French, Spanish, Italian, German) international.

For me it has to be the Indian and Russian accent. Something about their drawl is just spine chilling.

Nasally, whiny American accent. Makes me want to punch them in the face, every time.

Australian for me. Hear them say "I parked the car in the car park and then went to a bar". Would go through you.

Also, south England/London "geezer" accent. Sounds awful.

I have an American accent and have been told it sounds gay (I'm a male in my 20s). Why the disdain for American accents???

Like the one London rappers have, ugh!

No genuine accent bothers me. I find accents really interesting.

At a push, the really harsh London accent I suppose - where every sentence is punctuated by "yeah?"

But the most annoying by far for me is not international - it's the sythe Dublin one.

They're just being silly. As if they don't watch plenty of American tv and film and don't even notice. And "American accent" - there are hundreds of them.

That sentence in Boston would be better. Or Drogheda for that matter.

I think they mean the general american/midwestern accent that a lot of American s have. It is nasally but it can also be pleasant as well.

In fairness, the OP is all over the gaff. Has discounted European accents but then in the next breath lists Russian as an option. Should've just said non-Irish and non-UK.... or non British Isles to rile the lads up in true AH fashion.

Says the poster who mentioned the South of England/London!

Perhaps you should read the OP again as well.

Fair enough, but for me UK accents are international as well.

Gregor Samsa

The accent of the town of Shakhimardan in Uzbekistan, an exclave surrounded entirely by Kyrgyzstan. The way they say "Sut chirigan, uni ichmang!" would curdle milk.

If I look at it from dating a woman wise, accents I cannot tolerate would be...

Lancashire accents...think coronation Street

Most American accents in real life annoy the **** out of me. In movies, they're fine.

Indian... I would end up laughing at half of the things they say.

French...sounds so ugly to me.

Nigerian accent... Both male and females usually sound like they're being aggressive and argueing even if they're not.

That's all I can think of right now. Nothing out of the ordinary there.

Mate of mine went to Liverpool for a weekend and picked up the accent

Oh and the worst has to be Nigerian

Depends on the gender of the speaker to be honest.

I find men speaking in the stereotypical Indian/Pakistan accent quite irritating, but women not so much. They speak much more softly and clearly.

Australian accent on women though, a million times more annoying than Aussie men. Just barely worse than Californian women.

I've thought that too

Also, for some reason women speaking (I think) Polish to men always sound petulant to me, like a 5 year old in a shop who's been told they're not getting any sweets and is trying to pester their parent into buying them something.

partyguinness

The London accent. Think Adele and then she opens her mouth to talk....(shudders).

I have to admit I am not gone on the German accent.

partyguinness

Yeah I have clients from west Africa and bloody hell....

Even hearing them tell you they are in good form sounds like you are about to get your head kicked in.

DellyBelly

The Midlands for me..terrible. They all sound like they live on a halting site and are finding out as much about you so they ca nrob you...

Dutch, hands down.

Canadian. It's just bland and plain annoying. The woman on Today FM goes through me no end.

El Tarangu

A crying shame is the fact that Italian women are very beautiful, but then their accent is awful (when speaking either English or Italian).

A strong Dutch accent is very off-putting as well, as mentioned by a previous poster.
