So, I've been nagged for this and here it is. I'll try to help anyone with this and just PM me if you need specific help as I've been having a hard time myself getting my head around writing out the accent as it gets complicated ![Stick Out Tongue :p :p](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/tongue.png)
So, let's start
Most pieces are now accented what you're going to say, as in, to create the affect that is need. I'll start by sectioning parts into different bits and gradually update more and more. Pieces in Apostrophes are examples
Rules of Le Lingo
So, the accent created is rather wierd. I'll make a list of rules here and see if I can get them all in one go...but probably not
1) Removal of last letters and first letters - When appropriate, the first and/or last letters of a word can be removed, this occurs many times with 't's ', 'h's' and when you deem appropriate, remember, the key is to evolve your accent so were not all the same. I tend to remove t's and h's most commonly with s' as well and leaving a consonant at the end
2) Removal of multiple letters inside words - This also applies mostly to consonants and can be used to reinforce the accent, removing h's and and such inside words and/or replacing pieces with words already used, mostly referring to ae, such as 'Yer Mae is a bad'un...', 'Maest of yer will fail this task.
3) The practice of 'uns. - This is one you can adapt regularly. I use long'uns and bad'uns mostly, but you can adapt this to suit whatever you like. It's used as an adjective or noun and can refer to anything, from 'Elf'uns...' to 'Lady'uns', just depends on your dwarf.
But remember the most important rule
There is no standard for this. You develop your characters accent in your own way so your accent, it's never going to be wrong even if it dosn't match this, as it's your own and not mine and the creativity of yourself is what defines a good character.![Smile :) :)](/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/smile.png)
