Sweet as, bro! A global survey has rated the “outrageously charming” New Zealand accent as the world’s sexiest.

Travel site Big 7 Travel says its readers put Newzild on top of 7000 languages and accent variations polled.

“The Newzild dialect is outrageously charming. The sexiest accent in the world? It’s official,” the website said.

Australians might hear only “fush and chups”, but to most of the world the way Kiwis speak is little different to the accents on this side of the Tasman Sea.

“To a novice ear, the New Zealand accent might sound just like the Australian accent,” the website said.

Despite that, Australian came in only fifth on the list.

But even that came with glowing praise: “Pronouncing words long and slow – and often skipping the ends of them completely – is a real turn on, apparently,” Big 7 Travel said.

Rounding out the top 10 were: South African, Irish, Italian, Scottish, French, Spanish, southern US and Brazilian Portuguese.

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

Different variations of the British accent also made the top 50, with Queen’s English at 12th, the Scouse (Liverpool) tone 32nd and Geordie (Newcastle) 41st.

The US also had another mention, with the Boston accent taking out 28th place.

“One of America’s most imitated and parodied accents, Boston comes in at almost midway on the world’s sexiest accents,” the website said.
