Are these the world's sexiest accents? - PHOTO

The Scots are talking a lot this week -- perhaps you've heard a little something about an independence referendum -- and that makes us happy.

That's because we like how the Scots talk.Not necessarily what they say -- just the way they say it.Imagine the way your Scottish pals might pronounce "pour" and "poor."The Scottish accent is like no other.Then again, neither is any other accent.It's estimated that there are nearly 7,000 languages on earth.That's nearly 7,000 different ways to traipse clumsily through the English language -- or to sex it up like an old Justin Timberlake song.Of course, no accent is sexy when it's strong enough to crush a beer can.Which means not all accents are created equal.You choose: Hottest accentsAll of this got us talking this week about which accents we like most.So we decided to hold a vote of our own -- a Facebook poll to ask which accents you prefer. (Trinidadian has charged to the front at the time of writing. You can cast a vote via this link:: on.fb.me/1wHkW0y.)Below is the list of sexiest brogues we came up with by deploying an admittedly unscientific methodology -- meaning we asked around the office, which does at least account for more nationalities than colors in the M&M universe.Our also-rans included Australian (as appealing as warm Foster's to some, tantalizingly exotic to others) and Japanese (the language of repressed salarymen is also strangely designed for pillow talk).Feel free to state your objections and/or rain your accolades in the comments section below and vote in our Facebook poll.Because when it comes to accents, there are no absolutes.Except that the one that makes you cringe is absolutely horrible.You know which one we're talking about.ArgentineFamous tongues: Fernando Lamas, Gabriela SabatiniA historical refuge for Spaniards, Italians and Germans, the hyper-libidinous South Ameripean melting pot of Argentina has cultivated a proud, pouty tone.With its own pronunciation of Spanish letters ("ll" sounds like "shh") and its own words ("you" is "vos"), this is a dialect that's hard to get. (Or at least plays that way.)Sounds like: A tightly tuned guitar of G-strings strummed by a lamb shankThaiFamous tongues: Tony Jaa, Araya 'Chompoo' HargateWith five tones comprising their native speech, the traffickers of this often fragile accent turn any language into a song of seduction.Thai is largely monosyllabic, so multi-beat foreign words get extra emphases right up until the last letter, which is often left off, leaving the listener wanting more.Sounds like: R-rated karaokeTrinidadianFamous tongues: Nicki Minaj, Billy OceanFor fetishists of oddball sexuality, the Caribbean island of Trinidad offers an undulating, melodic gumbo of pan-African, French, Spanish, Creole and Hindi dialects that, when adapted for English, can be sex on a pogo stick.(CNN)Bakudaily.Az
