I'm doing some world-building for my own home brew campaign right now, and I've decided to do languages by nations/tribes instead of by race. For example, it's possible for a human and an elf to speak the same language if they reside within the same cultural borders of each other.
To sum up my setting, it's basically a fantasy version of 17th century Earth (late Renaissance era / age of "pike and shot"). Those familiar with the 7th Sea setting, I'm basically importing that setting wholesale into D&D. But I'm keeping the core D&D races.
Here's my question: What race would be most appropriate to each nation?
Here's what I came up with so far:
Dragonborn - Swedish/Dutch
Dwarf - Russian
Elf - French
Gnome - German (Holy Roman Empire)
Orc - Spanish
Halfling - Italian
Human - English/Common (Includes Scotland and Ireland)
Tiefling - Turkish (Tieflings in this setting are assumed to be mixed blood descendants of Djinn/Ifrit)

TOP LOL mate. You should only consider using Dutch for gargling swamp monsters.

Humans speak American English.
Halflings speak with a thick West Country accent.
Orcs speak Scots. Makes them sound angry all the time.
Elves speak RP.
Gnomes speak Welsh, as it's a joke language.
Dwarves speak Geordie. That's the accent that you naturally acquire if you're a miner and you drink a lot as alcohol and coal dust damage your vocal cords.
Dragonborn - fuck that Skyrim shit
Tieflings just speak like poo in the loo

How does Spain = Orcs make any sense?

He is obviously having beaners in mind.

That makes even less sense. Orcs are way too tall for that.

Very nice memorised phrase here, does it help you convince the silly foreigners that you actually speak the damn thing?
