   In South Africa we have 11 native languages so its fare to say a large majority of people speak english as a second or third language.I.too speak Afrikaans as my first language and often crack a laugh at my fellow Afrikaners accents.

   At the risk of offending Canadians I thought the accents in 'Fargo', the Cohen Brothers was hilarious.

   I've found many here.. don't understand my Kiwi accent... because it requires an ear that listens, before it responds
   
   But When I St-t-t-tut-tut-ter-r.... I'm left thinking "OMG.. What Is Wrong With THEM??"

   You should hear my accent, here in northern England there is a diverse number of accents but my county is Cumbria and our accent is a mixture of Norwegian,Scottish, Geordie(North Eastern Accent), and all rolled in together with a touch of Yorkshire and Lancashire accents so its really funny to hear us speak in cumbria

      Well......... waddaya expect?
      
      You guys mated with Vikings!  
      
      I used to go out with a lady from Cumbria..
      She was not only a really hard case (funny) to listen to...
      But she was really X-Eyed as well
      She told me that she was determined to marry me 'coz I wasn't a Viking!
      
      But I really struggled with her always asking me to look into her eyes!
      And in the end it was just too much for me to handle!
      
      You Know.. I can be completely honest with myself today
      and admit that I really did make a mistake leaving her like that!
      But Deep Down... when I looked into her eyes...
      I ALWAYS Felt Like She Was Seeing Someone Else!

         Cumbrian women are famous for being the domineering types, am so glad I am gay sometimes because honestly some of them are more scarier than the men and they can fight alot worse than men do....
         Sorry if this offends but one night out in Carlisle and you would agree with me when you see the women fight its so frightening because at one time Carlisle got dubbed "Hells Kitchen" and made Cumbria famous for fighting - not a good thing

            In NZ, there are quite a few like that too mate.. they aren't women nor guys.. it is freaky 'coz they are really, really dumb, angry and ugly in nature! They tend to binge drink and then start fights with anyone on their own!
            
            I wasn't rubbishing Cumbrian women in my earlier post... I was more describing what it is like looking into the eyes of a X-eyed one! Maybe it was too subtle?

      It is we even have our own language up here, well sort of like a gaelic we call it West Cumbrian but a Norwegian could understand it as its very closed to it.. sort of relates to when the vikings settled here in Cumbria.
