So City accent in my mind is pretty clean and correct English, almost like written language I'd say. Most prominent about it would be the lack of abbreviations. They have them but not all of them are often used. I'd say they use don't, doesn't and it's pretty often (generally it's rather common for them to abbreviate "not", just to emphasize the cases in which the do not abbreviate it to make it crystal clear it's an important not, yk?). Isn't, wouldn't and won't as well as the shortening of are, have ane would are sometimes used but mainly in poorer parts of the City or in private, and rarely heard in like City Center because it's considered "bad etiquette" (also, they would definitely frown upon my use of "like" in this lol). And stuff like 'till, ain't, gonna, wanna, wouldn't've, nah, y'all and any type of swear word is definitely not approved by BLI. You might hear it in the slums, but in most parts of the City, BLI will call you out on it.

The second prominent thing about City accent is the very clear prnounciation of words. Like sounds that you might swallow like don' or somethin' is definitely not something you will hear in the City. Which is why you have a lot of children language classes where they are taught to speak clearly. Sure they're given some slack until they turn like four, maybe five, but once you go to school, you should speak clearly at least 85% of the time or so. And if you have for example a lisp... it's not forbidden per se, BLI does like to present themselves as "good for everyone" so they're not going to be openly exclusive. But you will see no represation whatsoever of it in the media and you will be send to a lot of speech therapist or whatever you call it. Because you will be kind of a social outcast if you don't speak right because it makes you different and the City doesn't like it when you're different. That's the main characteristics of City accent in my mind.

Desert accent on the other hand... I'm not a native English speaker so I can't really assign a region to the accent. But it's a lot more relaxed than the City accent. They rarely use the longforms of basically everything I listed above. Some desert borns might not even know exactly what the short forms stand for (although most probably do because they've heard someone using the long form at some point when someone's trying to emphasize something).

Also they don't speak nearly as clean and pronounced as the City and swallow a lot of sounds, especially t and g sounds at the ends of words are lost. Grammar is also more of an optional thing, especially with adverbs. And of course, they have a whole lot of zone slang and curse words. The zone slang also varies from different parts of the desert.

So while most people in the City will speak very similarly (like I said, they don't like it when you're different), killjoys will often sound wildly different, depending on your crew, where you from, if you're desert born or not, and so on. Like for example the Venom Siblings both tend to swallow t's a the ends of words because one of them had always had trouble with pronouncing that, and the other adopted that from them when they left and spend a lot of time together without the influence of Bat City (I can not decide who got it from who because I like both possibilities). Whereas Ghoul dropped pronouncing g sounds at the ends of words pretty quickly (whether or not he is a sandpup, I think he drops the g's more often than the t's idk why). And Jet does both a lot and has the heaviest desert accent of all four of them (I agree with anon).

That's all I got on Danger Days accents I think but I'd still say it's enough lol

jet stars zones accent is so thick that sometimes pretty little city born party poison has to ask her to repeat themselves at least 7 times

what do city accents and zone accents sound like... i need to know. for science
