Dutch. Especially my dialect : Limburgs .
Dutch is beautiful.
Wij hebben de mooiste taal van heel de wereld. Laat die Amerikanen maar dol zijn op hun Engels, wij weten beter.

If I could understand it I'm sure it is beautiful.
Do you know where the saying.. "double dutch" came from or what it really means

I like "my" language which is NYC accent .Some, like the OP don't care for it. And I respect that. Some love it.

But you can't deny that it is unique

I worked in another country for awhile and the company there (and I) interviewed 9 local people ( who all majored in English) before we found a translator who could understand what the hell I was saying.. Lol

I lived in Upstate NY (Glens Falls region) and have visited NYC quite a few times and I could tell the difference between the two accents.
NYC women accents have a "sassy" feel.
There's even a distinction between say, a Brooklyn and a Queens accent.
A least to me. East Ender's and Philly accents sound similar to me.
I also noticed a difference between east and west Ohio accents.
You would think that Missouri and Kentucky accents are the same but their not.
A Texan woman's accent is sexy.
I find most California accents irritating. Makes me think Valley Girl even when a man is the one speaking.
I knew a Panamanian woman that had a very unique but pleasing accent.
Most Central Americans are loud and she was soft-spoken.
I met an Inuit in the service that had a unique accent.

I had a buddy in the service that was from Iowa.
For the most part he had the flatest non-accent I have ever heard unless he was drunk.
Then, it had a Native American Indian sound to it.
No, He wasn't a native American Indian but in college I roomed with a full blooded Apache. All I can say is don't piss him off. LOL, Especially if he's drunk.
scared

I've lived in 4 places in the US and some differences. I can't really put any accents to Idaho people. Some words drawn out a little, like the mid west states. Anytime you you get near most big cities in the US, people talk faster.

On the news, not long ago, a poll was taken in countries outside of USA - what are you're favorite American accents? 1 -Southern. 2- New York City and 3- Boston. Really?!?!

I think many people talk faster these days.. if they talk at all with all the texting etc.. Sad but true.

I tend to like the "normal" accent there but don't mind some others. I find some hard to understand (mainly Southern) but have to listen to them for awhile but can't get some words.

I feel the NY accent sounds a "tough" accent.. but that might be just me.
