World'S Sexiest Accents

[mca]

Well I'm out of the picture then as my daughter often refers to " daddy's one-pack"

[Thaddeus]

Well, lets face it, sexy has alot to do with the person speaking eh?

I mean, regardless of how Tony Jaa sounds, he sure looks good saying it

That said, a less "country" Irish accent certainly has an appeal.

I once had a very attractive Irish lass say to me "Would you like to be the daddy of my next baby"

No such thing as a sexy language, it's the whole package that counts.

[Caliguy]

When there is alot of them talking at the same time or angry yelling they sound like the aliens from the movie Mars Attacks. ACK ACK ACK ACK!

How about Tom Yam Goong dubbed for the Irish audience?

The less said about pissed up English "teachers" trying to impress tourists with their phrasebook Thai in the bars, the better.

The less said about English "teachers" the better full stop,

Although at times they are a good source of amusment

Especially when they parade their 'Look at me I live and work in Thailand' badge round lower Sukhumvit, the every shiny nylon tie.

White socks - black/brown shoes, or even worse dress trousers + shirt & tie and running shoes ....<deleted> is all that about

A quick getaway in case immigration comes a knocking. You forgot that ever present sweat glaze attributed to not removing said thai, I mean tie after class is over.

....never thought of that.....so these "English" teacher aint as dumb as we make them out to be..... ....I always thought it was a precaution when it was their turn to buy a round of drinks they could do a runner.

I thought that was what the chain across the entrance of the soi at Cheap Charlie's was for.

It seems to me this poll has much more to do with the perceived sex appeal of the person speaking than the sound (or accent) itself. Look at the finalists, all from groups of people with high sex appeal.

I never really thought that a strong accent sounds attractive or sexy, no matter what language they use. When Thais speak English, they tend to emphasize the last syllable whereas in English mostly the first syllable is emphasized. (onlee / only, etc).

But what I find down right funny is the tendency of many Thais to "swallow" the last letters. Not only the "s", but also things like "fly lice" or even "fly lie" (fried rice). "Him no tek ker shee" is another of my favorites. I still laugh at mistakes with a naughty side. "I wet you" (I wait for you), "You lie me" (Do you like me?) etc.

Was that "dubbed" or "dumbed"........

My wife has the voice of an angel, it was one of the first things I fell for, but she then gets on the phone to her mother with the skype speaker, I make myself scarce and I swear from my room it sounds like I'm back on the farm with the sheep in the yards maa maa. Keeps me awake for hous, I just can explain this!!

[B Fuddled]

"Haaaappyyy Biiiirthdaay Mr. Prezidenttttttt"

[Happysiam]

WOW didnt realise standing outside a beer bar shouting..."hellooo, welcome hansome man" counted as a sexy accent...

Learn something new every day

Or "i go 7, uuuaaa want anyting na?" Hell NO!!!!!!! Gots to be one of the worst accents ever!

[testeroffaith]

i find italian sounds irritating, i guess the editor must be one

[Fookhaht]

"With five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction. Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more. (Or at least asking "Huh?" lustfully.)"

The above quote somehow turns all the thorns (that foreign English teachers have to deal with here) into 100% roses. Artfully done!

From experience (not of being an English teacher) trainers are much more comfortable for walking around in and climbing the skytrain stairs in than proper shoes.

I always say, 'why have a six pack when you can have a whole barrel?' when referring to my beer gut.

I'd say the article is referring to the Thai accent speaking the Thai language rather than Thais speaking English.

I've always found the Geordie accent as spoken by females to be very sexy, which completely discounts the sex appeal of the speaker!

[soomak]

Agree with Italian #1, French #2, Spanish #3

Thai is not sexy at all

As well as Irish...

They are also better for fleeing the scene when the work permit officials show up looking for miscreants.

I see in the Thai section they use a picture of Tony Jaa

"CHANG U NAI?"

Yeah gives me the horn every time.

The piccy isn't Tony Jaa but waste not want not :jap:

[flying]

While I think Cantonese is not pleasing at all.

I do think Madarin is very musical & easy on the ears

Yeah, that Madarin is awesome, uh ... !?

[bdw]

The reason guys think it's sexy is because it reminds them of the hooker in Full Metal Jacket.

Oh Me So HORNEEEE !, Me love you long time !

What'll you do for 5 bucks ?

Any Ting you want !!

[kurnell]

Disappointed Strayan didn't make the list. I'll never forget an Aussie girl whining "I'm on me rags but yers can split me shidder if yer want!" Now that is true romance

Ummm no actually I do like how Madarin sounds

Not everyone learns languages via hookers

One of their better singers was Teresa Teng who sadly died in of all places

Chiang Mai in 1995 of a respiratory attack while on holiday

I have just been listening to two Thai ladies in a somewhat heated discussion in the rice paddy behind our house. Didn't get me going at all.

While I don't 100% agree with you, it really depends who is speaking, there is a comment about Cantonese speakers that always make me laugh " Why are these people always speaking like if their house were in fire? "
