Actor Colin Farrell was credited for the Irish accent's success, while French president Nicolas Sarkozy was blamed for the French accent's poor performance.

"The French accent is nowhere near as popular as it used to be," the Telegraph quoted a spokesman for www.OnePoll.com, which carried out the international survey, as saying.e added: "You can probably blame Nicolas Sarkozy for that, he has single-handedly changed the perception of how the world sees French men.
