This is a topic on the auditory of a dialect spoken in English to determine which sounds "more intelligent"; meaning to say, which version of speech from a particular region of the world enunciates better and more exacting to the subtle and popular language of English. Who is to say that Afrikaaners are not best the English speakers present? Or perhaps any foreign national that is fluent in English sounds best because they took the effort and study to enunciate correctly enough to overcome language barriers that they make sure to pronounce every minute syllable and stressing?


We need some audible on the matter.
