The Best African Accent? by onila(f): 11:34pm On Jan 15, 2012 |
I think the Southern Africans have the best African Accents in Africa, the Botswana, South Africans, Zimbabweans, Malawi etc I just love the way they speak I love the Nigerian accent especially if the Nigerian is well polished and Educated like Samido Lanusi, Dizeani Allison etc but the Southern African Accents rocks more! |

Nothing beats a Nigerian accent. And you're right, it's even better when the accent is polished and neat. |

@onila, what do you mean by a well polished nigerian accent like that of sanusi lamido a nigerian accent is a nigerian accent even though it varies throughout the country i hope u dont mean a nigerian accent mixed with a little western because that points to one thing - inferiority complex |

I love the way Zim people talk. If a Zim guy seduces you, you'll have to be very strong to be able to resist him. |

OP, What constitutes a 'best' accent? |

Knight1: I'm asking the same question too. I've noticed that some people base their definition of best or sexiest accent to those that resemble foreign(American) accents. Why is that so? |
Re: The Best African Accent? by Nobody: 1:41pm On Feb 02, 2012 |
afam4eva: None of the countries mentioned above speak anything close to the American accent. Southern Africans just have their own peculiar accents. I particularly loooove the Zimbo people and how they speak! 1 Like 1 Share |

Good Girl: It's more about the tone and not the accent. The lighter the tone the better it is. |

S.Ǟ? Kenya? Malawi? Ghana? Those irritating accents? Only Zim accent is acceptable, the others have annoying accents ǡŋ₫ words are pronounced Ŝ☺ that they sound different from what they actually mean S.Ǟ, do you mean the Zulu or the Afrikanns? Cos they are far from sounding alike, ǡŋ₫ the Afrikanns sound better Most East africans sound like educated Northerners to me Naija got the sexiest, even CNN acknowledged that, I just love the average Nigerian accent, ¢ð₪ be twisted into Ŝ☺ many different accents, other African countries don't have that flexibility |

There's no competition, Nigerian accent is the best.. The extra stuffs like: oooh, arghhh, hmmmm etc. give it that extra flavour.. |
