I LOVE the South African accent! It's not often that I come across one, but when I do I always recognize it because it has such a unique tone or whatever you would call it. The SA people are the only ones who can pull off some of the best expressions!! It is also the best country in the world...I love it!!
I like scottish too!
I like scottish too!
Some South Africans sound drunkards when they speak. I don't know why. Yeah, it is such a unique accent. You can easily distinguish it from the rest.
Jess, I'd like to know which Scottish or Irish accents you are referring to.
Yeh south african is my favourite, although i really like some of the southern irish accents
i'm not too fond of the English Birmingham accent. I think that when most people here it they aren't too keen. In fact, it comes as a bit of a shock to me to hear it! No offense dudes in Birmingham
Me again, sorry. I love Lancashire and Yorkshire accents/dialects. Do we have anyone around here from there? I'm sorry I KEEP posting things but I never know when I'm bloody finished!
"Jess, I'd like to know which Scottish or Irish accents you are referring to."
lol, hell if I know! Like I said, I've only heard a few--and I didn't take note on which Scots or Irishmen sounded different. I just know they were Scottish and Irish.

Hey Jack -- I am here to correct you!!
Bostonians speak proper english -- its not a "low class" accent.... in fact.... as people moved out of boston in colonial times, and out in to the suburbs like you --- as well as down south, and rural areas.... they began to speak improper illiterate english.
ENGLISH originated in ENGLAND... and the ENGLISH in England DONT pronounce their R's.... like "wat - a" (water)
As text books were passed out to the suburb areas and rural areas where people like you are from -- they started pronouncing the R like "railroad"
Example: WateRRRR (hey yalll got some wateRRRRR"
You are a hick!!!
Bostonians rule the world!!!

Except that once upon a time, long before Boston was settled, the English in England DID pronounce all their R's.

The r's were fully sounded on both sides of the Atlantic. Chaucer pronounced his r's; Shakespeare pronounced his r's; Milton pronounced his r's. The r-lessness was a later innovation. The Bostonian accent is a highly stigmatized accent, as is the New York accent, and the Southern accent, and besides the Boston Brahmin accent, is not considered very prestigious outside of Boston.

You should love your accent, the north eastern accent is the sexiest in the world and the only people who say they dont like it are just jelous. Im from durham and i live in london now but i always class meself as a geordie.
Howay man get your act together you should be proud of your roots, never let anyone make you think otherwise. The beauty about geordies are that were not bitchy and clicky like these daft southern fairies, we speak or mind and dont take any crap from anyone.
So be prood man!! Just think of the mint quayside in newcastle and the angel of the north. That city is yours, its your past, your heritage, so divvnt try and deny it and slag it off, coz ya knar it rules. Us geordies stick together man, so divvnt gan putting your fellow north easterners or your accent down.
To me like, the boundries of being a geordie covers northumberland, newcastle, gateshead, durham and sunderland. Middlesbrough is where the smoggies live, not the geordies.
aye, so write back on what you think. We're genuine people like, with a great sense of humour. we dinnit mess aroond like otherins like, we get straight to the point. We're dead down to earth, and if anyone wants to challange the geordies, bring it on, were ready and waiting for yez!!

JESS FROM DURHAM:
It's generally true that northerners are more outspoken and honest than southerners in many ways. They tell it like it is even if some of people will take it as bluntness. They won't smile at you if they don't like you. Smiling at people and then stabbing them in the back is not the typical northern attitude.
BUT that would be foolish to overgeneralise... (What a cliché! :-)) I have met truly honest people in the south and (I know you wouldn't like it)very very dishonest northerners, too.
BTW, not all southerners are fairies! Imagine what an offence it is to men... :-))
Cheers,
Liz
