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…

^1?$|^(11+?)\1+$ :::

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.

Explanation by Matt Parker: How on Earth does \^.?$|\^(..+?)\1+$ produce primes?

Yeah thatll do the trick too, I couldn’t find the video so I just copy pasted something from stack overflow

Oh absolutely, Common is always Esperanto in my games with something like its history mapped onto whatever world I’m running. That leaves space for regional languages to be everything else.

I don’t think dragons have the soft tissue necessary to pronounce the consonant clusters like Strumpf.

i dont know about D&D but in pathfinder basically all dragons can speak a whole bunch of languages, so i’d be surprised if there’s something in a human language they couldn’t pronounce

Sotaque mineiro pra experiencia anã completa, sô

Mineiro accent for full dwarfish experience

pt-pt eats so many vowels you’d think it’s some sort of earth elemental tongue

So lojban for gnomes
