In a new survey by language experts, Babbel, it has been revealed that the Brummie accent is one that the nation enjoys listening to the most. 

The accent featured within the top five of the nation’s favourite regional dialects to listen to.

 

The Cockney dialect took the top spot, followed by Geordie, Scots, Brummie and then Welsh.   

When it comes to the accents that people find the most fun, the Brummie accent featured ahead of Scouse and Welsh and after Northern Irish, Scots and Cockney.
