I'd say English, except England has its accents, too.  The Queen's English is my favorite.

That's for sure!

My father, my husband, and most of my family are British.

Predominant dialect in my family is Geordie. The British folks here will know that, when spoken among friends, outsiders may question whether they are actually speaking English.

@Highlands72   I know what you mean when I am talking with my DD and DH here we talk a lot faster together and our American parts of family cannot understand a word we are saying.

Generally we speak lot slower otherwise we are not understood.  When I go home I have to stand in airport and just listen to get my ‘ear’ back in tune.

I have a Geordie pal here and we yak a mile a minute every time we meet up.

I find them all difficult to listen to for very long....but if I had to listen to one French is least difficult.

People from Africa when they speak English. I love the "lilt." It's both beautiful and charming and for some reason makes me think of flowers when I hear it. 💐

I like when an Israeli speaks English (Hebrew language to English) --- it sounds a bit British..

The accent I would like to go back home with the real New York accent -  just really love to hear this ‘talk’.
