I was born in Cambridge (Ely RAF base) then raised in Yorkshire, my accent is a mixture of the two with a broad Yorkshire tang lol (I am real Life Jon Snow!) I would still like another English accent in WOW, Northern to be precise!

I was born Yorkshire (Leeds) but currently live in Bristol, I still have my awful Leeds accent but occasionally hear a slight Bristolian twang coming through not quite asking people if they are reindeer yet though.

@Complacency-argent-dawn

it would really tarnish the zone for me.

The zone covered in blight and infested with Abominations and ghouls, whose main city is a pile of ruins with canals of blight goo.
This would be tarnished for you??

I guess Swiss-German (Schwiizerdütsch) is not represented… It would be hilarious to hear someone in WoW speaking Bärndütsch

Swiss-German is not counted as german

But would be funny to have it as dub in the german version, since I live next to swiss in germany and understand it.

Finn Schönwind be like “A leck mi do am Zückerli” or something like that

I can imagine a random vendor saying “Grüezi und härzlich wilkomme in miis Lädeli” bwahahahah

The dwarf “Scottish” accents are hate crimes.

I wouldn’t wish the same on my northern friends from the south.

As a Scotsman, I wholeheartedly agree with this.

Be careful what you wish for otherwise you’ll be subjected to listening to a torturous version of your native accent for years to come. (I can still hear Magni screaming “CHAMPION!” with barely a prompt).

It’s the vowels.
They put syllables in them.

And the roll every single R.

No one talks like that.

What does female dwarfs sound like then?

As a Lancashire lad, Yorkshire can sink to the bottom of the sea

@anon66707849

Yorkshire can sink to the bottom of the sea

Not before Lancashire does!!

@Complacency-argent-dawn

the arrogance and subtle racism in this sentence

Lancashire tea > Yorkshire tea

Fight me!

Not even remotely, take a day off you melt.

[Retributor-draenor (Retributor)]

there are over 20 english accents i know of, none of them are ‘‘subtle’’ or ‘‘neutral’’. your subjective opinion on them doesnt matter.

True- same as the Zandalari trolls Caribbean accent. The Caribbean people I know round here speak nothing like that

[anon60295030]

We need a good Mancunian accent!

[Ananda-kul-tiras (Ananda)]

I so agree. Keep Blizzard away from Yorkshire. What they did to the dwarves and Scotland is treasonous.

I also find it hard, OP, to compare Liverpool and Yorkshire accents … they’re very very different.
