Love it or hate it, we reckon the Australian accent is as charming as a Hemsworth brother. And it seems we’re not alone. A new survey has revealed that our friends in Hong Kong think Australians have one of the sexiest accents in the world. Cue the blushing!
This isn’t the first time the Aussie accent has had people swooning. Last year, a study found that Americans ranked Australians as having the most attractive accent in the world, beating out the British, Irish and French (random, right?). Now, language learning app Preply has conducted a similar survey in Hong Kong, and it turns out our Asian neighbours are also crushing on our Aussie twang.
Hongkongers voted the British accent as the sexiest foreign accent overall – almost 50 per cent of all respondents think it's hot. Locals voted their very own accent as the second most attractive – it received 43 per cent of votes – while the irresistibly charming French accent ranked third, with 31 per cent of respondents giving it a vote.
Our true blue Aussie accent came in at seventh sexiest in the world overall. We trailed just behind America, Japan and Italy. Rounding out the top ten were the Singaporean, Chinese and Korean accents. Now, what do you reckon – what do you think is the sexiest accent?
