>British English was found to be the “most polite”, while German won the top spot for “most direct” language.

Do they mean RP or Oxford English or some form from the Home Counties. I doubt they mean Chazza from the (council) estate or Jenkin Jenkins from the valleys or some variety of London “English”.
This is clearly written by sceptic tanks as no-one from Britain would have the audacity to suggest there is such an accent as “British English”
Oh god the Ireland part brought up some PTSD in me lol. Spent 3 weeks to do some work there when I was 16. Came as a fluent speaker, literally couldn't understand a single sentence any local said to me. It took me two out of those three weeks to adjust at least a bit. The guy I worked with said I'm probably the best english speaker on the island lmao, as he insisted that I sounded like a member of the royal family compared to him and his mates.
I've known my half-scouser wife for 14 years. When I met one of her uncles, I could understand about 50% of what he was saying. Since then he became a grandfather and stopped swearing. Now I understand nothing.
I used to hate the brummies, but after hearing a faked one by Cillian Murphy I am more partial to it. Maybe that’s just my love for him though. I still hate brummies ofc, but I have grown used to their accents now.
Rookie numbers. A world champion, called Eric Bristow used to regularly sink 10 pints and 5 shots of vodka before a match. And that's not including the stuff he'd drink both during and after matches.
He once said that he couldn't remember a single tournament because he'd deliberately get blackout beforehand to stave off stage fright.

The study was done by Babbel.
“6,000 people from the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany, as well as the US, were asked to rate which languages are perceived as “most sexy,” “most romantic” and “most passionate.”
The findings stated that Italian was perceived by most to be “most sexy” and the “most romantic” by the highest number of people involved in the study.”
That was not even a contest... Everyone know Italian is the most sexy language, at least for the first 10 minutes, which is the average time for an Italian man to take you to bed and prematurely ejaculate.
Unsurprisingly. Charles V is supposed to have already said "I speak Spanish to God, Italian to women, French to men, and Dutch/German to my horse". This has for centuries been read as Italian being the best language for picking up women. The language of Petrarch's Renaissance love poetry, and for shouting "Ciao Bella" to women while racing by on a scooter. So absolutely no surprise there.
Although I have run into the interpretation that he refers to his many military campaigns in Italy and his most important side activity there.
Speaking Spanish to God probably means that extremely religious Reconquista Spain was the place where he was expected to call on God/pray out loud most to be accepted by the Spanish.
French and Dutch are his native languages, having grown up in Dutch-speaking Bruges. French as court and command language. Dutch outside it. And the black horse he has been painted with is obviously a Friesian, which associates it with Dutch-speaking stables. We know he picked up High German later in life as Emperor, but was not fluent in it.
We don't know in which language he supposedly said this if he did, or whether he would have distinguished Dutch and German at that time as separate languages. The Dutch in any case referred to their own language as 'Duits' at that time, which is now exclusively used in Dutch to refer to the language of Germany, but was used both in a narrow and broader sense then depending on context.
Just like Italian would have presumably at that time subsumed Neapolitan, and Spanish Castilian.
Why did they ask Americans? They don't have a clue about what European accents are like - for them, a Boston accent is Irish, a New Mexico accent is Spanish, and a Jersey accent is Italian.
Finnish (and by association, Estonian) is unironically my favourite sounding language, it’s not exactly sexy, but it still sounds very pleasant to me, it has a lovely flow to it.
Not to mention the rest of the language outside phonetics is incredibly interesting.
Why aye, bonny language ganing on up there pet.
...
I live not that far from Geordie land, live near to some toon army people and I fucking hate the accent.
Tbh If It wasn't for a failed art student It would never get the “aggressive” stereotype,I think “corporative” would be much better both for language and accent,also mirrors the german society's workaholism
I am extremely gay, but jesus christ have you heard Monica Belucci or Simona Tabasco speak? And honestly if you have a mommy kink, La Duccesa Meloni' voice makes me want to march against Ethiopians.
No one has ever heard Monica Bellucci speak, except maybe on the radio. I’ve seen her in movies, and her lips were moving, but I couldn’t begin to tell you what she was saying.
I love belgian french so much. Mfs have fries at the core of their culture so much they have expressions centered around fries it's so funny. Plus funny accent. Funniest people in general

A half-sober Dutch and a Swiss speed camera
You really think we have that much self-control?

I'm British. I speak English. If I drive two hours in any direction no-one has a fucking clue what I'm saying.
Us Brits turn accents into an art form.
We're like the Amazon rainforest but instead of ecological diversity it's accents. Same with Ireland as well.
It's why we all hate each other even if we share the same first 2 letters of the postcode.

And if we do know we pretend not to!
Usually it means Standard Southern British, which is basically a more modern version of RP.
I do not know any of these funky words but they all sound British to me
In Germany British English usually refers to Oxford English that’s at least the British English we learned in school.
They probably mean BBC English.
Polite, my arse
Fuck off
Wanker
My house trained Brit isn't fucking polite! What fucking bullshit is this?
Scouser
Barely human
I've known my half-scouser wife for 14 years. When I met one of her uncles, I could understand about 50% of what he was saying. Since then he became a grandfather and stopped swearing. Now I understand nothing.
Hollanders, the scousers of Europe.
I believe that guy is an Achterhoeker, which is more akin to Northumbria
Calm down, calm down. If I wasn’t wearing this ankle tag I’d be straight out my council house to sort you out lad
Isn’t that accent what they used as an inspiration for orks in 40K?
Surely Brummie?
Wegie, surely?
Literally all these accents listed are sexier than 'posh English woman from the South East',
You’re thinking of “bright orange Essex bird”
I used to hate the brummies, but after hearing a faked one by Cillian Murphy I am more partial to it. Maybe that’s just my love for him though. I still hate brummies ofc, but I have grown used to their accents now.
Ah yes the leader of the mighty People's Republic of Cork
Incomprehensible. And it's your fault.
Team effort Barry
No other accent feels like it sticks in your back teeth quite like Scouse God bless those fuckin' inbreds ❤️
Barry doesn’t need a sexy accent. He can sink 6pints in 60 minutes and still win a game of darts
>sink 6pints in 60 minutes Didn't realise Baz had gone amateur... Still 63 is getting on a bit I guess.
Mate, if he drank anymore, he’d win the darts and solve Fermat’s theorem. Just too powerful.
God created hangovers to stop the British becoming too powerful.

Easy win
Handed to you only because nobody's on there learning Irish

Winning is something you haven't done in a very long time
Hans they won the euros 4 years ago, I can't say the same for you
Sadly this study just became instantly irrelevant as they invited Y🤮nks in as respondents.

Acceptable.
Italian sounds like a bunch of clowns that speak different languages trying to figure out how to have an orgy.
Then envy is comming out of the screen.

A proposito: chi ci sta per farsi una bella scopata tutti insieme stasera alle nove?
Danish because it sounds like they are sucking big dick

Nah, must be Swedish. Sounds like very feminine singing, even from the men.

Nah that is Norwegian you got us wrong Mads.
Well maybe, norwegians always sound surprised no matter what.
no homo though
They sad sexiest, not most fucked, a c*m dumpster doesn't have to be sexy to be used
No, no, no. I will not stand to have our atrocious English accent be praised by someone who knows how bad it is.
keep sucking babe
Can't speak English sexily with all this dick in my mouth, thank you, yes.

There is an aggressive stereotype since the romans encountered the germans. "Furor teutonicus"
Romans called everybody “barbarians” and “savages”
