It’s official, South Africa’s Afrikaans accent has been voted the second sexiest accent in the world.
Out of over 7,000 languages in the world, Enjoy Travel’s 1.5 million readers awarded Afrikaans the second spot due to its unique tones and slang.
The top spot went to New Zealand’s Kiwi accent.
In third place is the Irish accent, fourth is Italian, and fifth is the Australian accent.
The remaining top 10 are:
6. Scottish
7. French
8. Spanish
9. Southern USA – think Texas, South Carolina, and Louisiana.
10. Brazilian Portuguese
