The Worst English Language Accent

[Deleted User]

...for me, I'm sorry to say, it's Northern Ireland.

Perhaps there are many from there on here, but I find utterly linguistically pathogenic.

I cringe when I hear it, whether mild or severe.

It's truly awful; if an accent could have a disease, Northern Ireland would be on pills right now.

For you, what is the worst English accent - whether native or foreign?

Precisely.

The hyundai English language accent.

I find all accents interesting but probably the D4 one irks me the most, prob due to my dislike of some of the things it's associated with

Nope, much sought for call centres. Very melodic, apparently. Dublin is the worst in Ireland from that perspective. Geordie is the best in the UK. Scouse is the worst.

Strabane. But it's questionable if it's even English they're speaking.

The Dudley accent must be the ugliest on earth. It makes the stereotypical Brummie accent sound cultured and musical in comparison. Some North London accents and the flat type of Dublin accent are hard on the ears too.

I find most Australian accents irritating, and there's a particular Donegal/Scots accent that is very harsh, very grating as are some NI accents.

I once heard a cleaner on the other side of the office speaking Chinese.
She came closer, I turned around. She was clearly Irish. Then I recognised some English words. The elongated vowels were unreal. I desperately wanted to say something, but what?

You missed a spot?

The common Dublin accent. The upper class Dublin accent is not much better, that is just pretensions.

Brummie/Black country accents. Scouse accents when they sound as if they are spitting.

In Ireland the Derry accent is irritable.

Ballymena is a very difficult accent to understand. They talk under their breath.
