Glasgow accent the 'most perplexing' in UK but apparently we sound 'intelligent'

We've all been told at least once in our lives that someone, who isn't from Scotland, can't understand us with many giving us a baffled look.

Now according to a new study the Glaswegian accent is officially a tough one to understand.

A survey of two thousand UK adults, conducted by language learning platform Preply, has revealed that our city comes out on top with the majority of those living in the UK, who took part in the survey, finding our accent the 'most perplexing' with almost two-in-five people (39.46 per cent) agreeing.

This was closely followed by Newcastle (20.43 per cent), Liverpool (18.14 per cent ) and Birmingham (10.83 per cent ). Bristol, however, was found to be the easiest UK accent to understand with just 3.53 per cent voting it difficult to understand.

As well as being voted the 'most perplexing', it was also found to be one of the most 'untrustworthy accent's with 10.79 per cent of people thinking this.

However in better news, 5.02 per cent of those surveyed said that they found the Glasgow accent 'intelligent sounding'.
