Quite the opposite ... once you get the hang o'it (Then again, I would agree re linguistics.)

Anybody know this one? I know its a tall order. Thanks a lot!


Whoa whoa whoa, Rashemi is Russian; I always thought Thay{an} was Akkadian, or Latin. Did I miss something?

would waterdeep have a native accent.with it being a melting pot of so many different cultures and even races it reminds me of new york or london.ive always thought of a native tough from dock ward would sound like working class east london during the time of jack the ripper.and the nobles of castle ward would sound like upper class english nobels or blue blooded americans.

go back to sleep america.everything is under control.heres american gladiators.watch this.shuttup. BILL HICKS.

I agree witgh swifty, in my mind Waterdeep has many similarities to London, while i always thought that Cormyr could have a Germanic accent
