It sounds very similar to a Ukrainian or Belarusian accent, which the Bezkoshtovnyan language has a decent level of mutual intelligability with. However, it has unique aspects such as inflections and rhythm.

Basilian came from a creole of Portuguese, Old Spanish (Castillian, Basque, and Aragonese), and vaguely Italian (Corsican, Sardinian, Sicilian, and Neapolitan). As a result, the accent sounds vaguely West Mediterranean, though somewhat more Italian due to the pronunciation of some words. However, there is no "j" as in "jack" sound, all j's are replaced with the same sound as the "z" in "azure".

There are no native English speakers left in existence, but there are plenty of videos of people from Earth and from the starships speaking in English and comparing their accent to the one's of their children and our modern people. One Earth Historian has noted voyagers consistently describing it as cutesy-sounding with a smooth flow, but not particularly distinct. We do not have the "th" sound in Lanomiran, so we pronounce words such as "those" as "dtose". There's no "st" sound either, so "starships" becomes "sutarshipsu". Some records indicate a few claimed several words were spoken with something of a British twang, but this wasn't a consistent observation.

It is mostly German, but with some Slavic elements to it. Some linguists predict that a new language that is more heavily influenced by Slavic languages will arise in the New Teutonic Order, but this has not happened yet.

Much like the General American accent, with little regional variations. A distinct feature of Andocarian English is the lessser prevalence of sound/vowel mergers. Therefore, some words that sound the exact same in American English will sound different from each other in Andocarian English. Here are some sound distinctions prevalent in English Andocara:

• Differentiation between Mary, merry, and marry. As well as Carrie, carry, and Kerry, Harry and hairy etc. This is unlike most North American dialects where they would all sound the same.

• Distinction between horse and hoarse.

• Distinction between hurry and furry.

• Distinction between wine and whine. W and wh sound different.

• Distinction between lot and thought.

• Distinction between you and yew.

• Distinction between father and brother.

• Distinction between writer and rider.

• Distinction between pen and pin.

Andocarians generally use different or more “proper” pronunciation than other North Americans.

• Zoology is pronounced as “zoo-luh/loh-gee” rather than “zoo-oll-luh-gee”. Three syllables are used instead of four. Same with the word zoologist.

• Kilometer is pronounced in the same manner as kilogram or millimeter, as “kill-o-MEET-er” not “kill-OH-met-er”.

• Mauve rhymes with grove.

• The second syllable is the most stressed in the word electoral. In some cases it even sounds like they are saying “electral”.

Andocarians generally use British pronunciation when it comes to pronouncing letters. That being said, there are two letters that are pronounced differently from in American English:

• The letter Z is called “Zed” rather than “Zee”.

• The letter H is called “Haitch” rather than “aitch”.

Andocarian English accent is so similar to the General American accent, that was why I used it as basis for comparison, highlighting differences. Aside from the differences mentioned, the Standard Andocarian English accent is virtually identical to the General American accent. But this isn’t the only accent that exists in Andocara. When Spanish Andocarians speak English, they will speak with an obvious Spanish accent. Similar with French Andocarians. When they speak English, it will be with a French accent.

Most landfaring Emberians speak with a twang, however those in the space force are heard with more of an electric speaker box twang as they usually speak to each other through spacesuits and inter-ship technologies.

Knowledge of English is relatively uncommon, but among those who are proficient in English, the accent is described as fairly similar to a Persian or Tajik accent.

Native English speakers tend to sound Australian, especially if they’re native Joijan.
Joijan speakers sound Afrikaner as Joijan tends to be their dominant language.

Being such a large nation, there are a handful of regional accents in Calliana. Most accents are reminiscent of thick Nordic accents like Icelandic, Norwegian or Sweedish. This is thickest in the nation's west, and many consider the western Callianan accents to be typically choppy and harsh, with a faint British influence. Eastern accents are typically viewed as more classy, with a greater posh English influence. Accents in the east flow more smoothly and are often easier for foreigners to understand.

The Tyronian accent sounds Scottish, 100% Scottish. For example, instead of saying 'Yes' or 'Okay' we would say 'Aye'. Instead of saying 'Over' we would say 'O'er'. Instead of saying 'Shit' we would say 'Shet' and instead of saying 'Fucking' we would say 'Fuckan'.
