Loki Laufeyson Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Yes that's why I didn't mention british anything for Chris and only for Tom I'm singling those two out for their accents on a personal level Because when it's not those two I prefer Italian accents to everything Wonky wording. Ok. Hemsworth's Thor accent is what i like to call Shakespearian Ham. I enjoy that too cuz ham. I actually enjoy a Mexican accent cuz it makes me all nostalgic and warm and fuzzy inside. I am not around UKers and I don't feel the need to research into all the various geographics and their accents to make a post. Thing is, i actually noticed when watching and hearing people from the British Isles speak on tv and in real life, that their accents differed. And how people could tell where they come from just by their dialect. So i actually gave a shit and decided to look that stuff up quite some time ago. You might not be arsed but i can actually see why some people's jimmies have been rustled out of place by someone being all "Just British." Especially when Ireland isnt really a part of the UK.

Tryhard Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Scottish. <3 unfortunately my scottish accent isn't that pronounced </3 I'm a fan of the Irish accent, if only because I'm used to Scottish from living here, and sometimes I can't even understand what Highlanders are saying.

Rewjeo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 French accents make my peepee feel tingly I read that as "Flemish accents". My theatrical background makes this sort of a hard question for me, since I'm more used to fake stage accents/dialects than the real ones. I do rather enjoy received pronunciation, west Irish, and the various stereotypical foreign accents. Generally I don't much care what someone talks like. Except "y'all" still rubs me the wrong way. On the topic of theatrical stuff, received pronunciation is the English counterpart to what is officially called "Standard American," so saying "standard British" to mean received pronunciation is maybe not too outrageous? I mean, I don't really think it's reasonable to expect Americans to know all the specifics of British dialects, but it should be fairly apparent that there is no such thing as "just British."

Azura Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Scandinavian accents, oh yes. Swedish is just too cute but sometimes, depending on the dialect, its hilarious. Jämtland dialect(s) in particular are kinda rough around the edges. Norwegian of course. *swoon* Icelandic..oh yes. Oh yeeesss. Danish cracks me up so much. I just...the accent is cute. I find Norwegian and Swedish to be cute. However, distinct Danish accent kinda tick me off, as I fond it to be flat and boring. Might be because hearing your mother tongue reflected in people's english sounds weird... Also, isn't British/American/Australian/whatever English dialects, not accents? I've always thought that the term accent is exclusively used for whenever a person speaks one language, and the pronunciation/speech pattern of another language shines though?

Rewjeo Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Yes, technically dialects refer to different ways a language is spoken by native speakers, while accents refer to how nonnative speakers speech is affected by their native language. ohhhhhh i also love pronounced icelandic accents in english Icelandic is just generally awesome.

Thor Odinson Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Might be because hearing your mother tongue reflected in people's english sounds weird... Maybe. Mandarin accent in English annoys me, though I'm a native Mandarin speaker. I have no such issues with Cantonese accents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
