Africa is one big continent with a variety of cultures and accents. According to the renowned Africa Facts Zone<\/a>, four African countries ranked higher than others for having the sexiest accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s take a look at the African countries whose accents will leave you saying ooh-la-la!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. South Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

South Africa<\/a> boasts 11 official languages. Its wide variety of ethnic groups, languages, and demographics contribute to its unique and complex accents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You have the Pretoria accent, the Durban accent, and the Capetonian accent too. All of which are hard to imitate if one hasn’t spent years living in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Capetonian English for example, the pronunciation of the letter \u201ca\u201d in the word “paste” makes it sound like “pest”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

While South African English might sound different from others, its status as \u201cnative English\u201d is widely accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, South Africa is often the only African country considered a native English-speaking country in many international job applications. Take it from someone who has been in the TEFL job market for a long time. But that’s a discussion for another day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Zimbabwe<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you’re looking for an accent that’s as strong as rocks yet sexy, Zimbabwe<\/a>‘s got you covered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

It’s a blend of English and indigenous languages. The Zimbabwean accent is known for its “j” and “ch” sound. For example, the “ch” in “church” can become a hard “j”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What also sets this accent apart is the tendency to emphasize the syllables in words. A word like “protect” is pronounced as “po-ro-tect”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honestly, the Zimbabwean accent is music to our ears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Nigeria<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The most populous country in Africa <\/a>is a melting pot of languages, including English, Hausa, Igbo, and Yoruba.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, the Nigerian accent varies depending on the region but is often characterized by a distinct way of adding emphasis to word syllables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical Igbo man can pronounce the name “Sydney” as “Sidini” with his thick accent. The Yorubas also have the ‘H’ factor where words like ‘Hair’ are pronounced as ‘err’.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

Nonetheless, that’s obviously what makes the Nigerian accent sexy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Egypt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When most Egyptians speak, they reflect at least some of the sounds and speech rhythms of their Arabic dialect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And it’s no secret that Arabs <\/a>have some seriously, sexy ‘rhotic’ accent that leaves you hooked on every word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Case in point – Egyptian footballer, Mohamed Salah<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go listen to a Mo Salah interview, you will see why ladies around the world drool over the Liverpool star.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

So yeah, we agree that these four countries topping the list of sexiest accents, have their unique charm that will captivate your ears and hearts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
