Guest Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 This should be a complex one for all the Brits. In Peru, the strongest accent is the Charrapa, or in other words people from the Amazon. I'm not gonna show you though cos it's in Spanish, wouldn't change a thing. In Canada, Newfoundland has the strongest accent. Probably due to them Irish roots.

Administrator Stan Posted March 30, 2019 Administrator Share Posted March 30, 2019 Geordies or Scouse I'd say. Northern ones are usually stronger. But then again you can get tamer accents from those regions and you can actually understand what's being said Irish can be very strong, too. They barely move their mouths if it's a very thick accent too and you can't even figure out what's being said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNORTHODOX Posted March 31, 2019 Share Posted March 31, 2019 The accents that stand out the most for me are Geordie or brummy, Soon as you hear somebody with either of those you dont have to ask we're they're from. Its probably mine though (scouse) Kensington born and bred, no watered down over the water accent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Peru is always my #1 choice, but I do have a Canadian passport, so technically I can consider myself that. I am moving back in June so I'm kind of trying to re-accomodate myself.

Grizzlies are my second favourite type of bear behind Polar bears. However, Polar can mean other things and I wasn't going with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted April 2, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted April 2, 2019 Some variations of Welsh are the ones I struggle to understand. Pretty okay with the Geordie/Mackem accent now having lived their for a few years but some people have it stronger than others and it can be difficult.

Overall, in Australia the basic accent is the same but with varying degrees of thickness. I imagine @Devil-Dick Willie sounds like a first-generation twat; being closer to the western-suburbs Sydney wogs, @Harry like a silver-spooned cunt in the veins of Guy Pearce or Cate Blanchett, and @Toinho like a coked up AFL player.

Inverted Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 Probably a proper Glasgow accent would be the most difficult to understand in Scotland for most people. And even my fairly mild Glasgow accent can be hard for foreigners to understand. But it gets difficult to classify depending on what you count as an accent or as a dialect, for example I would find a person speaking Doric or Lowland Scots harder to understand than a fellow Glaswegian (though I could still manage it), but typically those two would be counted as dialects or even languages. The way people speak in Glasgow is more of a modern development and so gets counted as an accent more than a dialect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I feel like a lot of people would probably say Scouse accents. But I disagree because I grew up with them, so I think they're normal and everyone else talks funny - not us. So I'd probably go with @UNORTHODOX's answer - Brummies and Geordies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panflute Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Limburg for sure. If it's for the entire language area, it has to be one of those weird Flemish accents that I literally cannot understand a word of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Tommy Posted April 3, 2019 Moderator Share Posted April 3, 2019 In Germany probably "Sächsisch" which you speak in Saxony. Still prefer to hear that over "Schwäbich" which you speak in most parts of Baden Wuerttemberg. It's outright disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a soft spot for Sächsisch as my dad is originally from there and the only remaining family from his side still lives in Sachsen too. Schwäbisch is weird but I honestly don't find any accent/dialect disgusting. I think it's just funny I also love Austrian German Swiss German not so much.

Anyway I recall an anecdote that a German production company wouldn’t let Schwarzenegger dub his own film because they claimed he sounded like ‘an Austrian farmer’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
