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

    I did a salt marsh campaign that I themed like Louisiana bayou country. I had a whole society of reclusive swamp gnomes with Cajun French accents. I still miss those guys. They were cool and spooky.

      French sounds incredible with a demon voice. There’s an entire cartoon series, Wakfu, where there’s a demon talking sword and he’s great

    My world draws inspiration from maaaany real life cultures and I’m sure some people would be offended by our interpretations of them.

    For us draconic is based in Finnish, and giant is based in Norwegian.

    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.

      I’ve always been a fan of that trope. I like to do a Brooklyn goblin from time to time.

      fwiw it’s not exactly difficult, it’s just weird english basically. The alphabet is literally just english with different symbols.

    I thought the accent for the orc in solo leveling really enhanced the experience.

    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.

    In a homebrew setting still in construction, Volapük is the language of a secret society.

    Gnomish should be more artificial. Esperanto.

      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.

        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.

    My last DM got mad at me and almost kicked me out of the group because I wanted to create a rogue mage warrior priest with a backstory that he was a mexican immigrant names Jose.

      The problem wasn’t even Jose, it was your refusal to pick a class.

        it could work if they agree to just be underpowered, like they have parts of each class’ standard kit and it mostly doesn’t work well but every now and then they can get some sweet sweet synergy from some abilities and save the day.

        And because of this José always feels a bit left out, so he’s always eager to do something useful even if it’s just casting mage light (which is one of the few spells he can wrap his head around)

    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!
