You left off Russian, which is incidentally probably my favorite.

British. Obviously. That doesn't include regional dialects, or Welsh, Scottish or Irish. The accent I refer to is my own.

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

What?

Accent? The Romanian prog band? kidding... English, though after James' pompous, egregious and hurtful remarks, I'm not so sure

Incidentally, the Philadelphia area has its own quirky accent, which I am slowly adopting.

I love Australian accents, they're so cool. Watching and listening to Flight of the Concords also makes the Australian/New Zealand accent cooler (for me, at least).

Would you like some Bailey's?

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

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.
