I've worked with a girl with an Afrikaans accent, I tend to pick up on it after we've talked for any length of time.

I also like a Brit in my history class, wonderful British accent, though she was born in raised here in BC.

However, the best for me is a strong Hispanic accent, Mexican is absolutely beautiful.

Space05us:

What's a Canadian accent?

Are you talking about the Newfies on the coast?

What's a Canadian accent?

Canadian's don't have an accent, eh... You flippin' hoser, don't even know what you talkin' aboot

A lot of accents "do it" for me; peurto rican southerner with a touch of Bostonian I really hate the Midwest accent, like in Fargo. Makes them sound like idiots.

I like oriental girls but the Russian accent. What I need is someone who is a cross of both...

I'm seeing a gorgeous Japanese girl who lived in Moscow for years as a child and is studying Russia at uni...

This depends on the region. People over here in BC won't talk the same way as people back east, or people in Quebec.

I just want to find out what accent Space05us considers, 'Canadian.'

What is Daphne from the tv show frasier? In the show she is supposed to be from Manchester. I don't know if her accent fits that or not.

Its supposed to be Manchester, but it sounds a bit put on to my hear. If you hear her talk out of character you'll find that her accent very different. She is actually from East Grinstead, which is about 15-20 miles from my home in the England.

The actor who plays Martin Crane is actually from Manchester originally. The very worst accent I heard on 'Frasier' was when they had Daphne's brother (played by Australian, Antony La Paglia) visit her.
For some bizarre reason, he spoke in American accented Mockney.

I love the sound of English when spoken by French Canadians. I also like Canadian English. Soft Irish brogues and Scots English of the Highlands and Islands are absolutely dreamy. I like a West Country burr, too, and the sound of Cornish accents makes me homesick for clotted cream, saffron loaves and pasties.

I can't abide a Birmingham or Black Country accent- despite being born a stone's throw from Birmingham. Yorkshire accents unfortunately remind me of Geoff Boycott and obnoxious Tory politicians.

I like most Australian accents I've heard (the Greek, Maltese and Lebanese Australian comedians do great take offs of the 'aspiring' ethnic accents) and I really do like Kiwi accents too. There is an advertisement on Aussie television for a Kiwi cheese where the actors (Kiwis) actually say 'frudge' for 'fridge', 'creckers' for 'crackers', and 'byewdiflee' for 'beautifully'.

I also like Ghanaian and Nigerian English.
