The sexiest accent in the world is revealed

If you can’t get enough of the Scottish vernacular or you go weak at the knees when a French person speaks, you’ll love this list of the sexiest accents in the world.

Big 7 Travel has released their official top 50 sexiest accents for 2019, and the New Zealand accent has officially been crowned the hottest in the world.

South African and Irish accents were highly rated, coming in second and third place respectively.

Italian accents were also ranked high in fourth place, with voters claiming “any word in Italian sounds sexy”.

Meanwhile, Australian accents came in at fifth place, with some voters claiming to love how Aussies skip the end of their words and pronounce them long and slow.

“To a novice ear, the New Zealand accent might sound just like the Australian accent, but Big 7 Travel readers disagree,” the website reads.

“The ‘Newzild’ dialect is outrageously charming. The sexiest accent in the world? It’s official.”
