How people talk

An archive of accents.

Curiously, it lacks Canucks. That's because we talk normal, I guess.

Courtesy, of course, of cleolinda.

edit: Yes, Canadians are under "English", I see that. I just posted it up so I'd remember it when I got home from work.

edit2: God, this is GREAT. The English accents ALONE are fascinating.

My girlfriend just happens to be South African. And lemme tell you I find no accent sexier.

You may have met her at Charlottes house warming last summer.

Oh, yes.

I may have asked her to say "passionfruit".

Passionfruit?

[thebitterguy]

My favourite sound in the universe is someone with a SA accent saying 'passionfruit'. Something about the emphasis on the "pa" and "roo" sounds that just makes my spirit soar.

Ahhh... I do remember her telling me that someone asked her to say passionfruit and not entirely understanding why...
