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

Infernal is Korean, Elvish is Finnish, Dwarvish is Icelandic, Abyssal is Spanish, the Elemental Languages are Croatian, Serbian, Bosnian and Montenegrin, while Gnomish is Farsi. Come at me, Bitches!

::: 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 trolls are Scottish and Scottish people are kind of ok with it.

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.
