'Filipino' - Sexiest accent in Asia!

in #philippines6 years ago

Not sure what the criteria is but according to the survey results of one travel and food website named 'Big 7 Travel' it seems that the 'Filipino' accent is the sexiest accent in Asia and the 21st sexiest accent in the whole world. XDv

A short description can be found in the above link about the Filipino accent:

Gentle and soft, the accents you’ll hear when in the Philippines are simply lovely.

The first time I landed on Manila and was surrounded by nothing but people speaking in Tagalog (I'm from Visayas and thus my mother tongue is Visayan), the very first thing I noticed was how gentle (and even slow speaking) Tagalog speakers was.

So in a way I do agree with the above description about the Filipino accent: 'Gentle and Soft', especially Tagalog speakers. However, I personally won't describe it as a 'sexy accent'.

As for the sexiest accent in the world, the 'Kiwi' (New Zealand) accent takes the top, described as 'outrageously charming' by the travel and food website Big 7 Travel.

South African takes the 2nd, with Irish, Italian and Australian for 3rd to 5th sexiest language in the world.

They're just weird. I would say Northern Irish is the sexiest accent. Irish did get the third place...but I'm willing to best most of them didn't hear Northern Irish, and that's why it didn't score higher.

Now I gotta go look up an audio track of someone speaking with a Filipino accent to see whether or not it's "sexy".
