Spanish is 'world's sexiest accent', according to survey

 

Spanish is 'world's sexiest accent', according to survey

Spanish is 'world's sexiest accent', according to survey
A SURVEY by travel guide giant The Lonely Planet has revealed that the sexiest accent in the world is Spanish.

Native speakers of the language of Cervantes in Europe even beat the French – albeit by a slim margin – and the Italians, who come sixth out of nine, for the most attractive accent.

A total of 700 people were polled on Facebook, although their own nationality split has not been revealed.

After Spain and France, the people of Ireland are said to have the third-sexiest accent, followed by the Scots, the Australians and mainland Italians.

Seventh, and some way below Italy, comes the English accent, followed by the Portuguese in eighth place and the Russians in ninth.

Numerous others were cited in much smaller number – way below mainland Italy but still in the list is the Italian island of Sicily, and Serbia and China were also named.
