Afrikaans accent has been ranked the second sexiest in the world in the most recent “Top 50 Sexiest Accents in the World” list by travel website, Big Seven Travel.
“Afrikaans is a hugely popular accent with many people across the globe, thanks to their unique tones and Saffa slang,” the website explains.
The ranking comes as a result of an online poll, which asked readers around the world to vote for the accent they believed to be the “sexiest”. New Zealanders beat South Africans for the top spot this year.
Meanwhile, Croatians came in 50th on the other side of the sexy scale — although, not cause for despair once you remember there are more than 7 000 languages’ accents in the world.
In 2017, Afrikaans took first place for the sexiest language in the world, after an Ireland-based travel company, Lovin.IE published its own rankings of the world’s sexiest accents.
