I recall some rich families in Hong Kong speaking to their children in an RP accent, because that helped you get further in life.

RP accent?

Huh?

Yes. Tilt knows this is possible because he's British.

Or something.

I see.

They narrate everything as though they are in a RP.

Received Pronunciation - classy British guy.

RP accent?

Britain has quite literally thousands of accents. It's not a lie to say that each town has more or less its own accent. You can hear a different accent by just walking twenty kilometres.

So Received Pronunciation has generally been decided as the "default" British accent, though it's spoken natively by just 2% of the population. A large reason for its ensuring popularity is the fact that the BBC for a long time required broadcasters to use the accent and because this is the default accent normally taught to second language English speakers.

[Olthar]

Hmm...I may have discovered a slight problem with my plan. I cannot speak in a British accent.

It's the difference between Patrick Stewart and a chimney sweep.

I see.

So yes- my own accent has heavy influences of RP.

Though you guys will default back to Apu instead of "classy British guy" as Nat said when you think of my voice.

[Nightkill the Emperor]

There are so many accents you've probably hit one of them, even if you tried to hit another.

[Liriena]

Oh, la vita è bella.

I just read everything in my own accent, so you sound like me.

I can talk funny, but I want it to be something recognizable.

Well, the English speaking part.

You are, if I recall, almost 60% of the world's native English speaking population, though perhaps that's gone down to 50ish in recent years.

[Liriena]

Silly Timmy...No one can own the Internet. I tried.

..."Timmy"?

Don't tell me you never watched the "Fairy Oddparents".

To feel special.
