LONDON - The Irish style of speech has topped the poll of the ‘World’s Sexiest Accent’ defeating the French.

The poll of 5,000 women worldwide resulted in the Italian and the Scottish coming in the second and third position respectively.ourth in the list was the much-revered French.

Actor Colin Farrell was credited for the Irish accent’s success, while French president Nicolas Sarkozy was blamed for the French accent’s poor performance.

“The French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be,” the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the international survey, as saying.e added: “You can probably blame Nicolas Sarkozy for that, he has single-handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men.

“It is good news for the Irish that they have come top, they have been in and around the top five for years now.

“But high-profile stars such as Colin Farrell have helped bring the accent more to the fore.”

Sorry, when I hear Irish women, I think of a couple elderly aunts of mine.

The problem with an Australian accent is it comes out of an Australian.

You need to hear Russian whispered by a woman. I one heard an interpreter translating a presentation for her small group of scientists. The topic was nothing sexy,,,until she relayed it to them in Russian.

French hot, German gutteral,,and Spanish es mui caliente’

Just my opinion.

Don’t ya think this picture is more applicable to the IRISH??

You know how much they like to drink? Right?

Bah. Give me a southern belle any day!

When Irishmen get drunk they usually start telling stories, sing a few songs, and get into a fistfight. Australians basically do the same thing except they skip the stories and songs. And keep in mind, many modern Australians are descended from Irish prisoners from Great Britain - crikey!

I guess this means GEICO will switch to an Irish voice for the next 14 years, secure in their knowledge that it’s hip.

Australian? No way, it’s like fingernails on a chalkboard. Gimme an American, specifically southern, more specifically from Georgia, accent.

I vote for the Irish ladies...

Scottish is terribly difficult for me to decipher. Some regions of Australian have nice dialects but some are horrible just like Britain.

Not sure how they figure it, when many of these countries have different accents depending on what part of the country their from. #10 America for example. A New York Fran Dresher type accent is the biggest turn off ever, where an upper Midwestern Sara Palin type accent is kinda cute.
