A travel website with over 1.5 million readers has voted ‘South African’ – specifically Afrikaans – as the second sexiest accent in the world! Which is no big surprise.

Big 7 Travel polled its readers from across the globe – and discovered that the Kiwi accent is the sexiest (and interestingly, they pronounce quite a few words the same way as South Africans do).

South African coming second is quite a triumph when you discover there are almost 7,000 languages in the world… with even more varieties of accents.

Big 7 Travel said: “Afrikaans is a hugely popular accent with many people across the globe, thanks to their unique tones and Saffa slang.”
