Lonely Planet asked its fans on Facebook what for them is the sexiest accentin the world. Why should we know? Because it is nice to hear a person’s Englishspoken in a way that would sweep you off your feet. However, this is totallydifferent from a very bad impersonation of speaking with an accent.

The survey, which gathered over 700 responses, is not scientific. Resultsshow that the Spanish is at the top spot, beating the very-popular Frenchaccent. The chart is followed by Irish, Scottish, Australian, Italian, British,Portuguese, and Russian.

Take note that there are Spanish accents, which vary by region(such as Colombian and Mexican Spanish, which garner the most number ofresponses). This is also the reason why Portuguese is pushed into the top 10,mainly because of its Brazilian cousin.

Other accents that are in the list, but not enough to get into the top 10,include West Flemish, Serbian, Chinese, Sicilian, and Scottish-Jamaican.
