hoo boy this video makes me realize how little i know about Vietnamese
but more importantly . . .
my dialect does sound kind of funny 😭😭😭
#like how the kansai dialect is considered like... uh... the ''country bumpkins'' of japan#or the southern twang in the us#imo the ''z'' sound for certain words in the northern dialect sounds pretty#but the ''y'' sound that the southern dialect replaces it with sounds so different#central vietnamese is a combination of the two i think. we borrow heavily from the southern dialect but also take some things from the-#-northern dialect#anyways it'll be really funny to come out of vietnamese courses speaking a funny little accent lol#i suppose i do have a noticeable english accent when i speak viet tho lol#also also fun fact all songs are sung in northern dialect#my family speaks central dialect but when the karaoke comes on you can hear the ''z'' and all the other fun northern dialect sounds#also this explains why so many viet phrases are so LONG compared to english#the grammar is easier to memorize i think lol but boy do i have to get used to saying stuff#lol#mun rambles

I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.
Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.
Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.
#I tend to take the easy way out with the various Italian dialects/languages and temper their effect on how the dog world works#even though to my understanding in reality they differ drastically from each other even today and they aren't always mutually intelligible#especially when you compare northern and southern ones#I know at least Sicilian is so different from modern day Italian it's considered a separate language entirely#it isn't the only one but I'm not a linguist and not even Italian so I'm not really qualified to be explaining any of this to you#main point is that my dogs are well traveled educated and adaptable so I'd like to believe that they manage#otherwise making this whole scenario work would become very complicated#language barriers aplenty#Machete is a fast learner with a natural knack for languages so he absorbs/decodes new ones easily#and I can see him acting as an interpreter if necessary#which is a valuable trait for someone working as the secretary of state I'd imagine#a lot of people he ends up dealing with speak at least passable Latin so at a pinch they might perhaps try switching to that?#Vasco might have a Tuscan flavor but Machete is more of a blank slate (at least in public and at work)#answered#fallenoftheromaempire#feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong I'm not an expert and this stuff is complicated for an outsider

Was going to complain that Darius doesn’t say the word “like” enough as a Californian…but then I remembered he’s from Nor Cal and not So Cal…
#if you’re not Californian just know Northern California and Southern California are like two completely different states#completely different dialect for the same state#obviously there are shared things but they’re pretty different#jwcc#jwct#camp cretaceous#chaos theory#jurassic world chaos theory#jurassic world camp cretaceous#jwct spoilers#darius bowman

I'm a 'Simon Blackquill is a Northerner' truther
i mean the easy joke is that he wears Newcastle colours, but in truth?
I think he's just got the air of a Yorkshireman about him - quiet, a bit dour at times, and no-nonsense
(I am 100% behind British Blackquill, because I think so much fanon makes him meaner than he is. He's just being a wind-up merchant.)
#his dialect to me sounds over-educated rather than southern#and he IS over-educated#simon blackquill#ace attorney#obviously he isnt using any northern dialect but people dont tend to in court#hes just an emo fag from halifax

no, actually my least favorite thing about watching thai dramas while speaking & understanding thai... is that the dialects never match up 😭😭😭 if a character is from a non-central province, they'll have their whole family speak in northern/southern/isaan dialect while the main character, who's played by an actor from bangkok, will unexplainably not have any remnants of his native dialect when he speaks even though he was born & raised in the area and often time never even left... that shit breaks the fourth wall to me, like... why even hire an actor who doesn't fit the role fully, I don't get it 😭
#axelle rants#i told sunset about you#to be continued#I'm too lazy to tag ALMOST EVERY SHOW THAT TAKES PLACE OUT OF BKK#I adore itsay but this is literally its only AND biggest flaw in my eyes bc why the fuck is teh only breaking into southern dialect -#- for shits & giggles when he was born in phuket and lived there his whole life like WUT#same for oh-aew the dude never speaks southern dialect at all it makes ZERO sense#but teh's mom tarn & SOME of the friends speak correctly... it's so jarring#there's only 3 types of shows that have avoided this#1) to me it's simply you where nadech's character speaks both isaan dialect & central dialect as a way to show us that his character is -#- ashamed of his roots & then gradually accepts them. it's well done imo#2) isaan shows with an entirely isaan cast & crew like siew sum noi and nah harn... which is why I love isaan shows sm#3) I believe 1000 stars did this well? unless earth's character is supposed to be northern which in that case nevermind#HOWEVER bkpp MADE itsay so I'm willing to forgive the fact that they can't speak southern dialect even though it takes me out of the show#axelle learns thai

I do not ever want to hear another northern Chinese person complain about southern accents ever again. Just interviewed a guy with a super thick northern accent from who knows what province as part of my job and I comprehended like at most only 70% of what he was saying. Truly horrific.
#and a lot of northerners don’t even try to work on their mandarin#because they think what they speak is mandarin#while they beat the dialects out of southern school children#hate to break it to you but you are speaking a dialect too#southerners tend to speak better mandarin in professional settings in my experience#because they are aware of it as a separate dialect or language#and thus make an effort to be understood#while northerners just don’t even try#cuz they think their native language is mandarin (it’s not)

I was having fun with making up their voices! I've also decided to solve a question of languages (languages color-coded to avoid confusion).
Also, this one has quite a lot of tiny text, so I've included transcripts.
[ID: a list illustrated with colored doodles of characters' heads. Titled Who speaks what?
Igna [cartoon picture of Igna's face drawn in brick red color]: Native language: illiraian (southwestern regional form). Understands enough elvish to know when she's being threatened, and can ask for directions, but not much more.
Argo [cartoon picture of Argo's face drawn in sap green color]: Native language: northern elvish. Fluent in illiraian, hardly discernible accent. (it took Igna 3 months to figure out what's off - he rolls 'R' a bit too hard and his vowels sometimes are pronounced too close to the back of his throat).
Theria [cartoon picture of Theria's face drawn in muted brown color]: Native language: Samhran. Fluent in illiraian, audible samhran accent (difficulty pronouncing consonant clusters, palatalising 'L's and 'T"s, mixing up vowels and dyphtongs, sometimes sing-song affect to the vowels). Speaks basic Andaran and broken Omtheron.
Daen [cartoon picture of Daen's face drawn in violet color]: Native language: Moer. Fluent in illiraian, Andaran and gods know what else. Communicative in old elvish. Understands both dwarven languages, but speaks neither. No discernible accent in illiraian.
Haart [cartoon picture of Haart's face drawn in blue]: Native language: Kará (east-dwarvish). Fluent in illiraian (mostly without an
accent, but he often switches soft and hard 'H'). Understands some Andaran and Omtheron. Knows his local variety of sign language.
Knows some expressions in samhran (exclusively swearwords and toasts).]
-
Results: Igna is a spoiled kid, she's the only one in the group who has the luxury of speaking her native language day-to-day. She grew up in complete nowhere, with a very scarce contact with other languages. Tentative A1 in elvish, due to her dad trying to teach her.
Argo probably had the knowledge of Illiraian hammered into his head during his education - inhabitants of Riss speak exclusively a dialect of elvish day-to-day, but the duchy is an enclave, and it would be severely imparing not to know the neighbors' language.
Theria has been away from home long enough to gain a pretty good grasp of Illiraian, and has around B1 level in Andaran. Both spoken with a pretty thick accent, her native language is from a different language family with a strikingly different phototactics, and she's learnt the foreign languages pretty late.
Daen speaks many languages, and all of them pretty well. Maybe it's his long lifespan, but it's possible he's got a knack for language learning.
Haart has had a similar situation to Argo in a sense he's lived in a close neighboorhood of another language and learnt it in childhood. He comes from a merchant house, so it's understandable his family would want him to know foreign languages.
[ID: a scale diagram titled "profanity meter" Left to right: Daen titled "Apocalyptic event indicator", Igna titled "curses when hurt", Argo titled "curses if pissed", Haart titled "curses to emphasise" and Theria titled "Fuck is a sentence divider"]
-
I have to face the fact that Theria most probably has a severe case of unwashed mouth. Her mercenary career spans a good few years when she enters the stage and she doesn't seem like the type to watch her language, so in all probability she doesn't even notice that she curses like a sailor.
[ID: a list titled "Voice and expression". On the left side there's an up-and-down double ended arrow titled "pitch". Characters from top to bottom:
Igna: Easily the highest voice of the group. Clean, and rather strong despite it. Makes an open and honest impression when speaking, fairly good singing voice.
Theria: on the lower side of feminine voices, full-bodied voice with a bit of a vocal fry, on average way louder than the rest of the group. Enjoys singing, but easily dominates a choir
Argo: rather raspy, matte voice. Has a tendency to mutter - the limited sensitivity on the scarred side of his face makes it harder to speak clearly. Speaks quite fast despite of this. Can't hold a note for his life.
Haart: soft, full baritone. Probably the nicest laughter. Nice singing voice, talks with his hands a lot. Makes a characteristic huff when he's nervous.
Daen: low, resonant voice. Clear pronounciation. Reticent, rarely talks more than necessary. Makes a formal impression.]
Last but not least, my trials to work out how would they probably sound like. (I'm not really one to do voiceclaims).
#OC#Isaldi#worldbuilding#Igna Sharille#Argo Riss'Aerle#Theria The Cold Paw#Daen#Haart#cw: swearwords#long post#I tend to not imagine the voices of the characters clearly enough when I write so this is as well a cheat sheet for me#I think I like the idea of Haart using his cursed hands as a mean of communication#feat. a bit of language related nerding#don't be fooled - I am not going to think up 8 different conlangs XD#best I can do is a vague idea of how they sound - maybe someday I'll have a rough sketch of some features of elvish grammar#mostly because it features heavily in the story - apart from Igna's father and Argo Yrreth is an elf too#he speaks a different dialect - I think there's around five#maybe six full generations of separation between the northern and the southern dialect#they still mostly understand each other but these are definitely different#the reason why I've included their singing voices is that there is no magical tape recorders in Isaldi#so the general population will naturally sing and play instruments a lot more as a pasttime#Argo makes up for his terrible singing voice with his ability to play instruments#he's got a courtly education so it's pretty normal#I'm still very much not sure if I'm doing transcripts/IDs right#I may post a version without them later too but I'm not sure if it doesn't defeat the purpose of them

Hi. And welcome to today's episode of "🇧🇻Female born Norwegian 30-something year old doing housewife shit for the first time🇧🇻" : BAKING! 🍰
This is called "Breakfast cake/oat cake" and it kinda tasted like apple cake but with berries instead. The recipie had pistacchio nuts (or how you spell it) including the banana and berries but I skipped the nuts and used cocoa powder along with the bananas and berries. I also used Vanilla kesam*
* (I don't know what "kesam" is in english but it's like a healthier and thicker yoghurt)
My sister wrote that it looked like:
"Focaccia bread with salami and olives!" Thanks sis! 😑 Because I told her it looked like bread.
This cake is supposed to be a little "healthier" and full of protein and without sugar. The only sugar in my version of the recipie is in the cocoa powder but its not that much...
I am sure its even better when its cold! 😋
#there is a northern norwegian sketch where there is a guy that says in his dialect “Æ kanj bakæ!” which means “I can bake!”#so....Æ KANJ BAKÆ!!#the gothic viking tries out new things#ok its still wet in the middle of the cake...like kinda wet inside but the recipie said “JUICY” so..that is what it is!

A Not Very PC Feathursday
Author William Edgar Thompson’s use of Southern Black dialect in his self-published book Aunt Chloe and Her Birds, printed for the author by Kingsport Press in Kingsport, Tennessee in 1927, is extremely cringe-worthy, but apparently it was all the rage when it was published. A review of the 1928 second edition observes,
There is something about the negro dialect that fascinates children . . . nor do the children tire of them after they have ceased to be children. Mr. Thompson has taken this method of presenting his bird stories and has done so most successfully. . . . Mr. Thompson's excellent book should have a wide sale. It is not only interesting reading but educational as well and should do much good in spreading an interest in birds and their protection.
Yikes!
However, the book also includes eight excellent color bird illustrations supplied by the National Association of Audubon Societies, two by naturalist and artist Edmund Joseph Sawyer (1880-1971) and the rest by noted wildlife illustrator Robert Bruce Horsfall (1869 –1948). We could find nothing on Thompson except that he authored this book, and we would be curious to learn how the Audubon Society came to supply the illustrations. Each of the images is sub-captioned with one of Aunt Chloe’s folksy observations. We considered editing them out because we just find them uncomfortable, but instead of censoring, we decided to present them as they appear in their historical context. These quotes are quite tame compared to the dialogue in the book, some of which is unapologetically racist.

I feel like in the Lord of the Lost fandom, there is a lot of talk about Chris (understandably so), but we‘re all sleeping a little bit on this man:
and his hair:
and his makeup game that is always so perfectly on point:
#klaas helmecke#class grenayde#lord of the lost#lotl#i swear every time klaas lets his hair down or tries out a new stage makeup look i‘m in shock for a few seconds#just look at that kyoshi warrior tribute esc makeup (and given how big of a nerd he is i wouldn‘t be surprised if he‘d done it on purpose)#also we always aknowledge chris‘s outfits but what about the straps and harnesses and cropped shirts klaas likes to wear?#i just wish i could somehow translate his dialect for all of you who don‘t speak german because it‘s so heavily northern it‘s a dream

I think the reason I'm so hyperaware of accents is because I've been forced to become hyperaware of my own. When I moved to the US American were very much in that phase of "omg British people 😍😍" and so every single time I would say ANYTHING in school it everyone would make a huge fuss. It wasn't malicious teasing, they loved it but like, imagine if every time you spoke everyone went batshit. That would make anyone self-conscious let alone a child. I trained myself to speak American but certain things slipped through– the hard "R" has always been impossible for me it feels so wrong lol. I remember a girl discovered that the way I said "water" was funny and for a few months I could not move without being chased around with cries of "say water!!!" to the point I wrote an entire presentation about submarines to avoid saying water lol
In highschool I was pretty sneaky about it and I did this by not talking much. Like this whole ordeal really made me become incredibly shy whereas in the UK I had always been a chatty kid. And whenever I had to actually talk at length such as a presentation everyone would be like wait.... What are you...
I finally let go of this in early adulthood and just started saying what came out of my mouth naturally. but I'm still very conscious of my accent which just flip-flops between American and my original accent. Nobody ever knows where I'm from I'm so mysterious
#also apparently i was told off in nursery in london for saying 'bath' like a northerner (like my dad) bro WHAT? why was i told off#this is not woe is me im oppressed for being english lol its just my experience 😭#and i just like accents and dialects in general#i cant say 'warrderrr' seriously it sounds so stupid
