While top rated attractions and beautiful destinations that look great on your Instagram are valid reasons to visit somewhere, what about the people in the countries themselves? More specifically, what about all those sexy accents you can listen to while you travel?
Here at Big 7 Travel, we’re all about inspiring people to visit somewhere new.
There are almost 7,000 languages in the world, with even more varieties of accents, but which is the best? We polled our readers from all across the globe to find the world’s sexiest accent for 2019.
From lilting Welsh to the language of love, the results are in …
50th. Croatian
The least popular Slavic accent, Croats just about made the Top 50.
49th. Romanian
Almost similar to Italian, but not quite there.
48th. Thai
The Thai language is hugely tonal, but not hugely sexy, according to Big 7 Travel readers.
47th. Pakistani
Often mistaken for Indian, the Pakistani accent wasn’t hugely popular in the poll.
46th. German
Harsh at times, yet super clear.
45th. Welsh
Soft and lyrical, it’s a beautiful language. But sexy? Apparently not.
44th. New York
Fast and hypernasal, yet quite charming at time.
43rd. Chinese
Standard Chinese is full of varied tones and quite soft.
42nd. Japanese
Gentle and easy listening, Japanese scored respectably.
41st. Geordie
The Newcastle accent in England is notoriously difficult to understand.
40th. Latvian
Similar in sound to Russian, but with longer vowels.
39th. Malaysian
Malaysian accents are becoming increasingly Americanised.
38th. Austrian
Not quite German-ish, Austrian is more musical, with a slightly lilting sound.
37th. Norwegian
The Norwegian accent has a sort of sing-song effect to it.
36th. Egyptian
While many might mistake Egyptian accents for Arabic, it’s less throaty.
35th. Swiss
Depending on whether it’s more German or French influenced, the Swiss accent can sound vastly different.
34th. Russian
With short vowels and a strong sound, Russian is clear, direct, and surprisingly sexy.
33rd. Greek
Greek accents can often sound similar to Spanish, yet not as melodic.
32nd. Scouse
The Scouse accent is highly distinctive, with locals in Liverpool, England piling on the slang.
31st. Dutch
Those in the Netherlands speak strongly and oh-so nicely.
29th. Nigerian
With as much as 250 languages being used across Nigeria, the accents vary but are all rolling and strong.
28th. Boston
One of America’s most imitated and parodied accents, Boston comes in at almost midway on the world’s sexiest accents.
27th. Polish
One of the most popular Slavic accents, Polish is a strong up-and-comer.
26th. Indian
With an attractive accent tilt, Indian is fast and easy on the ears.
25th. Vietnamese
Vietnamese is a tonal language, so the accent goes up and down.
24th. Mexican
Quick and snappy, Mexican accents are softer than their European Spanish counterparts.
23rd. Turkish
Turkey has many regional dialects, all of which are quite beautiful to listen to.
22nd. Arabic
Throaty and with an almost French-sound at times, Maghreb Arabic is spoken in Morocco, Tunisia, Algeria and Libya.
21st. Filipino
Gentle and soft, the accents you’ll hear when in the Philippines are simply lovely.
20th. Zimbabwean
Zimbabwean English is different from both British and South African English accents, with many old-fashioned words and open vowels.
19th. Argentine
Argentine Spanish stands out when spoken, is full of slang words and can trip up even fluent Spanish speakers.
18th. Mancunian
Visiting Manchester? According to our poll, the sexy accent might be reason alone to stop by.
17th. Jamaican
Whether it’s English or Patois, the Jamaican accent is vibrant and super sexy.
16th. Danish
Often considered one of Europe’s most unattractive accents, the Big 7 Travel readers disagree.
15th. Ukrainian
Ukrainian isn’t all that different from Russian, but with different tones that make it a little clearer.
14th. Hungarian
Hungarian sounds beautiful when sung, with a rhythmic vibe to the consonants.
13th. Canadian
Not to be mistaken for American, Canadians speak with subtle vowels and lots of ‘eh’.
12th. Queen's English
Clear, clipped and completely posh.
11th. Czech
Czech speakers come close to the Top 10, with their direct accents impressing.
10th. Brazilian Portuguese
Brazilians have quite a strong accent, with Italian influences adding extra attractiveness to the accent.
9th. South USA
Who can resist a slow, Texan drawl? Not us, and not our community, clearly. You’ll also find this accent in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi,Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Kentucky.
8th. Spanish
Incredibly fast and fluid, Spanish never fails to make you weak at the knees.
7th. French
The language of love is a consistent winner when it comes to sex appeal.
6th. Scottish
Those rich sounds and harsh vowels are a big hit.
5th. Australian
Pronouncing words long and slow – and often skipping the ends of them completely – is a real turn on apparently.
4th. Italian
Completely beautiful, any word in Italian sounds sexy.
3rd. Irish
Whether it’s a Jamie Dornan-esque Northern Irish accent or a lilting Cork jibe, people the world over love the Irish accent.
2nd. South African
Afrikaans is a hugely popular accent with many people across the globe, thanks to their unique tones and Saffa slang.
1st. Kiwi
To a novice ear, the New Zealand accent might sound just like the Australian accent, but Big 7 Travel readers disagree. The ‘Newzild’ dialect is outrageously charming. The sexiest accent in the world? It’s official.
