When Ahnilunians speak in their native tongue (Dhyndarin), they speak in a distinctive accent, which sounds like Russian with a hint of Southern American high-drawl.

Vacoans don't have an accent, words are pronounced as their meant to and children are tought to articulate themselves from a very young age (around 2) in English of course.

Most people live in Mainland Andocara, and speak with an accent nearly identical to the General American accent. With small differences, such as the hurry-furry distinction, wine-whine distinction, and Mary-marry-merry distinction.

Andocarians speak an accent that is nearly identical to the Neutral North American Accent, though there are small variations in pronunciation. In Victoria, as well as most of West Andocara, people make a distinction between Mary, marry, and merry. They also make a distinction between hurry and furry, wine and whine, and so forth. Another distinctive trait of West Andocarian English, also known as Metropolitan English, especially prevalent in Northern West Andocara is the change in the short e before g sounds. The word leg sounds somewhat like 'laig'. The Metropolitan English accent sounds, according to many "clean, refined, and clear". The accent becomes even more refined when heading to the Northern part of the region, like in the Greater Brenth Area. East Andocarians sound just like people in the Western United States, including having the distinctive cot-caught merger. In sparsely populated areas, East Andocarians have a distinct earthy, almost country like accent. People in Victoria, while having North American characteristics like the rest of the country, incorporates several British pronunciations of certain words like process and laboratory.

Achaean Spanish is very similar to other varieties of Caribbean Spanish-namely, a mixture of Puerto Rican and Dominican Spanish, with minimal interference of Cuban Spanish. For an average Spanish learner, Achaean Spanish--as well as all other major varieties of Caribbean Spanish--would be too fast-paced and incomprehensible, peppered with many Africanisms, Anglicisms from the US, and (in some cities) Arabisms, Italianisms and cant and jargon from different social classes that has influenced Latin American music and culture.

Many native English speakers speak in regional accents that is generally understood by most Americans and Canadians. About three-quarters of all English speakers in Whitelaw and Anchorton speak in a neutral accent specific to the Cascadia bioregion/Pacific Northwest. Other English speakers speak in an accent that is influenced by their first/native language with varying degrees of intensity. Portuguese speakers speak in a generally Portuguese (the country) accent. The indigenous populations speak in languages based more on their tribes' area of origin due to the historical lack of or otherwise minimal contact between them. The indigenous peoples of Norther speak in an accent that is generally identified as languages in the Alaskan and Canadian Arctic, and a smaller subset of those in a Greenlandic accent.

There is no single Yawkish accent, but the most common one is comparable to a very old Philadelphian accent (where water is pronounced "wooder"). Accents further north sound more English, and accents even further north are similarly to those of the American South.
The Commonwealth of Yawkland
A democratic and prosperous, but insular nation founded by wealthy Anglo-American Protestants and British aristocrats in the 1860s. Today it is run by their fashionable descendants who enjoy playing squash and participating in the latest diet fads.

Intensely mistrusting of outsiders, especially Catholics.
