Austrian.

I told my players that their accent sounded "like a halfway cross between Gaelic and Hindi."

>>54170373
Look at their names. Their way of speaking must be in line with it. Is there an accent that suits these kinds of names, or maybe do these fantastical creatures have an accent that is beyond human?

>>54170373
Jersey.

>>54170373
Eastern european.

>>54170373
In Icewind Dale 2 they have some kind of east African thing going on. That works out just fine if your players aren't shitheads, but if they're shitheads they'll make fun of any accent that isn't their own.

Raunchy, elegant, saucy, seductive, Femme Fatale, and that one brand of tasty Indian and arab I forget the name of.

I mean, think about it: They live in world underground, they live in a hot shithole filled with spiders, they''re practically all criminal elves.
They speak a very thick 'strayan accent, northwestern one

The accent you have when you have a huge spider crawling down your throat.

They're villains, so obviously they have an English accent.

And English is a bullshit language, and Drow is a bullshit language, so this works too >>54170579

Creole. All elves are a variant of French.

Halfway between welsh and australian.

I once briefly worked with a woman who had to be her father's translator as those were the only two languages he knew.

I can't fault the man for it. I've always believed that a man should learn the language of any nation he intends to live in. He was from northern India and moved to Wales back in the 70s seeking a better life for himself, his wife and his children.

He assumed that Welsh was spoken across all of the Britain.

>>54170373
not a real accent, just a lot of gurgling and growling. punctuate it with angry glances and slightly fey dismissive gestures. if you think you're overdoing it and being too edgy/juvenile, keep pushing, you're almost there.

East London and Cockney.
OLD London, not generic black rapper-speak as it is after the gentrification of the docklands and the slum clearances.

Although I'm liking the eastern european idea, but I'd prefer to use it for dwarves.
Dwarves are definitely Polish, especially if you add slutty and friendly dwarf women that catch a lot of hate from human/elf women for not being afraid to use their tits to get jobs/promotions/male attention.
