Human accents in wow

I am creating a character with a mix of French and Spanish accent for role-playing.
But I encountered a problem, where did I live to get such an accent?

Alterac or lordaeron maybe? I mean the regions are big enough to warrant multiple accents.
What about kul tiras? Kul tiran seem to have many different accents.

From what I know, there are no Spanish styled humans on the Azeroth that we know besides oddities like Don Carlos in his mexican mariachi outfit. The standard “Common” speech is portrayed as a variation of american English while Gilneans get fake posh Londoner (?) accents. Kul tirans lean more toward the Bristol area from what I can tell as a former Gilnean colony.

The Lordaeron accent isn’t different from Stormwind but in MoP the scarlet crusaders of the former Eastweald were given odd Hollywood German accents. The Barovs of the western plaguelands have one example of an accent in Jandice’s peculiar way of speech that I can’t identify.

You could add in the ooc section in your trp that your character use such accent, but it would probably be weird to all other characters ic since we haven’t seen those accents in game.

Alterac betrayed the other Human kingdoms by not fighting the Horde, instead, allowing them safe passage to Lordaeron through the Alterac Mountains.

If you really want to bring real world politics into it, Alterac would be your best bet.

Ehh, most people have either american or british accents in game, tbh. Would be pretty weird and out of place.

(EDIT: Except the obvious troll and dwarf, of course.)

It would get weird if the next subfaction, race or isolated kingdom to explore just so happen to have french or spanish accents too. In that case, an established character randomly has the accent of the new catpeople or something.
