The Scots have the widest range of accents in the UK - some I can understand and some I cannot. The Inverness accent is allegedly closer to "Queens English" than most English accents.
What?

We Aussies are okay but those Kiwis destroy the language with their fush 'n' chups (fish 'n' chips) and sux (six)! LOL Wink

My favourite accent is the circumflex - except we don't use it much in England, unless we're having a fête.

Obviously. Wink

That doesn't include regional dialects, or Welsh, Scottish or Irish.
