Mandarin for Gnomish?
-
I always pick a character from a movie to play characters in my campaigns. For example, I might decide this dragonborn librarian is being played by Zorg from the Fifth Element, so he’s going to talk with a slight west Texas twang.
Makes deciding what accent to use pretty easily, and gives me a canned personality to boot.
(My fallback for making the table regret talking to an NPC is Dick Van Dyke’s terribly-accentented chimney sweep in Mary Poppins.)
I once did a campaign where all the bad guys where Gary Oldman in different roles

spanish is draconic? i thought we all agreed that draconic is german
edit: also as a brazilian, portuguese is too goofy for abyssal
Actually Draconic is Spanish cuz Celestial is Latin, and Elvish is French cuz they snooty (also a romance language). Dwarves can be Portuguese, as a little treat :3

Based French hater.
French sounds incredible with a demon voice. There’s an entire cartoon series, Wakfu, where there’s a demon talking sword and he’s great

My last DM got mad at me and almost kicked me out of the group because I wanted to create a rogue mage warrior priest with a backstory that he was a mexican immigrant names Jose.

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

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

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.
