I did a salt marsh campaign that I themed like Louisiana bayou country. I had a whole society of reclusive swamp gnomes with Cajun French accents. I still miss those guys. They were cool and spooky.

I vote Dutch for dwarvish. As a brazilian , portuguese could be gnomish or smth

French? Nah, infernal is Regex

yeah, portuguese does fit gnomes

The problem wasn’t even Jose, it was your refusal to pick a class.

I’m not going to say that affecting an accent for a language one doesn’t speak is inherently racist…but it can get there pretty fast.

I used esperanto as elvish

Brazilian Portuguese is too “melodic” for abyssal, but some European Portuguese accents can work.

In the game I’m playing, goblins have thick New York accents. If my creepy-ass lizard person dies, I might switch to that, or a Nordic elf with a thick Swedish accent.

eh pt portuguese would work better for elvish

I thought the accent for the orc in solo leveling really enhanced the experience.

Polish for the thieves cant. Kurwa

::: spoiler All I remember from my infernal class is to ask if a number is prime…

Sylvan should be Old Spanish like the faun in Pans Labyrinth

Gnomish should be more artificial. Esperanto.

I’ve always been a fan of that trope. I like to do a Brooklyn goblin from time to time.

Man, I should watch that again. It’s been ages.

Esperanto is more like Common. A language that everyone speaks, more or less, can only be something from an imperialist power or a neutral ground created for that.

In a homebrew setting still in construction, Volapük is the language of a secret society.

Its funny how Michael Meyers decided ogres are Scottish and Scottish people are kind of ok with it.
