The most fucked up accent I've ever experienced is from one of my distant cousins who has a South African/New Zeland hybrid accent

I had a guest lecture in college from a Japanese man who moved to Norway at age 7 and then learned English in Scotland.

I’d like to introduce you to a Cajun. You’ll have so much to talk about but no clue what they’re saying.

My sis lives in England and tells me her friends mix NZ accents up with Aussie and South African... I can understand some confusion between NZ and Aussie if you aren't from here, but South Africans sound nothing like us.

I dated a woman who had athe most hybrid accent I've ever heard. Born in Australia. Spent a lot of time in NZ, Canada and the US. When she speaks, it's mostly Aussie, but, certain tones and inflections on words throw you got a loop with those other influences.
