What do you think is the world's sexiest accent? French? Australian? Liverpudlian? Whatever your choice, it's unlikely you got it right - as Big 7 Travel just found that the sexiest accent in the world is actually...New Zealand.

It might come as a surprise that New Zealand was voted above literally anything else, but the results speak for themselves.

There are lots of reasons to visit a place, like its Instagrammability, vast history, interest or architecture, but Big 7 Travel reckon you should make your choices based on "the people in the countries themselves", more specifically, "all those sexy accents you can listen to while you travel?"

There are reportedly almost 7,000 languages in the world with even more varieties of accents, and Big 7 Travel polled their 1.5 million readers across the globe for their answers on sexiest accent...and the results may surprise you.

New Zealand was closely followed by South African, Irish, the more predictable Italian, and Australia respectively in the top five.

Justifying its placing, Big 7 Travel wrote: "To a novice ear, the New Zealand accent might sound just like the Australian accent, but Big 7 Travel readers disagree. The 'Newzild' dialect is outrageously charming. The sexiest accent in the world? It's official."

A Scottish lilt also made the top 10 alongside French, Spanish, U.S. Southern and Brazilian Portugese, with Queen's English placing 12th after Czech...and Mancunian making an appearance further down, with the website writing "Visiting Manchester? According to our poll, the sexy accent might be reason alone to stop by."

What do you think the sexiest accent in the world is? Does New Zealand even place top 10? Either way, the readers of Big 7 Travel have spoken.
