What's your favourite accent?

When suffering in the deep dark depths of depression and anxiety I do different things to try and get through those horrible periods - music, has helped, from time to time but my therapist recently suggested listening to talking, people talking in other accents. I've been doing this for the last four weeks, promising so far, it seems to be helping.                       So, what is your favourite accent? Mine is Italian, Australian, French, Irish and British, old cockney British that is.

  • Being proudly Irish with a polite Dublin accent, I love the SE English accent (so classy) from around London, even though I’ve lived in Manchester 20 years, yet I’ve still not lost my Irish accent (that has got me many English, Welsh and Scottish friends) - another poster mentioned about the differences in accents within Ireland and with the differences with the Northern Irish (Ulster) accent which is correct, although similar to the Donegal (in the Republic) accent - Cavan/Monaghan/Louth have similar too but then you can go into Meath/Westmeath/Offaly/Laois for another range of Irish accents - south to Cork and Kerry and up through Clare and Limerick as well - and of course there is the working class Dublin “Liberties” accent, heard from the Dealers of Moore St (they call us “Culchies” if we live outside Dublin)  - I’ve always liked to “keep it classy” and when on the phone, I’ve had a lot of compliments about my accent that is not even “put on” as it’s how I normally speak 

  • The Kerry accent is almost Welsh valleys somehow - similarities in tone and cadence, musical almost.
