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 |

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. |

Haven't seen you in awhile Peggy. Maybe we're on different times. I don't really have a favorite 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. |

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.

Anytime you you get near most big cities in the US, people talk faster. 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. |
