Everyone... Accent is usually taken from each person's point of view.

Plus, in my opinion Americans have 2 accents, south (redneck), and north(city folk).

Razz

I would have to add a third to that...Midwestern or what Wikipedia calls "General American". I would consider myself and most of the country(area wise) speak with this accent because of the impact pop culture has on you while growing up. Most of the newscasters speak in this accent as well as a lot of actors, it seems accent less.

I have had the good fortune enough to have traveled in all the lower 48 states and talked to many people located throughout the English speaking world. In strictly the U.S. I would have to say the most foreign sounding accent would have to be Inland North, I go Wisconsin every so often to visit some of my step-mom's family and the way they pronounce "Don't you know!" with the long o's just sounds foreign(Canadian) to me.

For the rest of the world I would say the British and the Australians mostly because of the different vocabulary they have developed over the centuries we have been separated. "Oi Mate!"
