Painter Smurf has a French accent.
Farmer has a "country bumpkin" kind of accent.
Miner either sounds Irish or Scottish.
Sweepy has an accent that leans toward Australian or British Cockney.
Wooly has a Yosemite Sam kind of drawl.

Sweepy was one of my favorite smurfs for some reason. It's a shame he was only in one episode. I remember my mother saying that he has an English accent and that is pretty much when I was introduced to accents, English accents in particular.
I remember the Wooly episode, but barely. I remember he his hat was made of wool and he had a strange accent. The only thing I remember from that episode is he was sitting at a sharpening stone and sharpening a knife or something. That's all I remember. It's been about twenty years or more since I've seen this episode and don't remember much. I remember it was an episode I really liked, though. I wish I can see it again. What was the exact title of this episode?

Wooly appears in the episode "Wild And Wooly", from the 1985-86 season introducing the Smurflings.
On the issue of Smurfs with accents, the only Smurf character I created for my Empath stories that was intended to have a distinctive accent is Tapper, the village barkeep/brewer/soda jerk, who I imagine would speak in an Irish accent. Empath himself doesn't have an accent; his speech patterns would be more closer to that of Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation with a mix of Morphea, the Canopian psychiatrist from DC Comics' Atari Force second series. (Mantis, a superhero character from Marvel Comics, has similar speech patterns, referring to herself mostly in a third-person sort of way.)
