Each kingdom has a unique accent to it! This is because the kingdoms all originally had their own languages before converting to Customary, the standard language of the RP group. For convenience's sake, it's English in the real world. 

​

It is advised that if you'd like your characters to have a conversation in one of these languages to simply state they aren't speaking Customary as opposed to having an entire RP via google translate 

​

Centaurs 

    Centaurs are largely based on Celtic culture. They have two prevalent accents. The Dunland Accent sounds Irish and the Berwick/Ionad accents sound Scottish, though the rural Berwick accent is distinctly heavier. 

    Their historic language is Bruidhinn and it is rarely spoken in the modern-day. Some older centaurs still know it, and occasionally teach it to the younger folk. It can be used in ceremonies and old songs but Customary is the most common language spoken, especially in Ionad which sees plenty of trade from the rest of the Island. If you'd like to use a few words in Bruidhinn, you can use a Scottish Gaelic translation. 

If you want to get real technical with it, feel free to use Scottish Gaelic for characters from Ionad and Berwick and Irish (Gaeilge) for those from Dunland. 

 

Harpies

    Harpies are based on an amalgamation of arctic places. Inspiration was drawn from Inuit, Nordic, and Siberian cultures. Their language is called Nordur, which if you'd like to write in, feel free to use Icelandic. ( I choose not to use an Inuit or Greenlandic language to avoid appropriating the cultures of indigenous peoples) 

    Unlike the other Media Terra languages, Nordur is still common in the Isles due to the location's historical isolation. Harpies are expected to be fluent in Nordur and Customary, though some older harpies may still struggle with the later. 

​

   Harpies have Nordurian accents, which can sound Icelandic for reference. They usually try to achieve a more "neutral accent" when learning Customary. 

​

Mermaids

    The Mermaids don't have a certain culture they follow but their accents are similar to those of England and Wales. The accents of the British are there and the Mers have two languages that are accepted in their kingdom, Khirdem, and Undi. Khirdem was the spoken language of their old times, which there are some who still hold true to their roots and speak it, the mass majority of which would be higher class individuals in Cerminum. 

The way to write would be using Welsh.

​

Undi on the other hand is still very much used and a common language among the Mer folk. This is due to the fact, that Undi is their underwater language. Normal speaking does not transfer well underwater, unfortunately, and would require pretty much screaming right next to each other to even start to comprehend the other's words. So instead a form of high pitched chirps and clicks is used, much like dolphins, to communicate underwater.

There isn't any good way of writing this form of communication, so if one would like to convey that Undi is being used have the words be italicized.

​

Nagas

    Being stationed in a sandy biome, they of course have ties to areas of the real world that are also found in deserts. They have accents found in Egypt and their respective mother tongue is called Coriq. Unlike the Mers, their language is pretty much forgotten by much of the population, only elders and linguists of the empire knowing how to speak it. The Nagas are a race of logic and efficiency and find no use in practicing a language that isn't used during commerce.

If you'd like to have your character speak it you would write it by using Arabic.
