| Message | I agree that Ultran would be southern, but I don't think the majority of our country would have a southern accent. |

| Message | Well basically since Ultran is more like the Western USA, I chose a Western Accent. Since Krentori is the "Old South" I chose that as their accent. And of course the speakers of English in heavy Alorian speaking areas would have an Italian dialect. |

| Message | Does anywhere have an English English accent? |
| Date | 17:44:16, December 31, 2008 CET | From | People's Imperial Alliance | To | Debating the OOC: Wiki Additions: English Accents/Dialects |
| Message | Not in Aloria. My opinion: Sildar, Gavonshire, some of Ultran: Italian, stronger in Sildar (for obvious reasons) Krentori: Southern English with Gaelic influences Kurmal, Ultran: German/Frisian with Gaelic influences The Gaelic influences come from the Native Alorians |

| Message | Well if you look at the wiki Ultran seems to be more like the western USA, and Krentori is a lot like Southern USA. That's why I got those dialects. At first I just wanted to get some accents, but my second try I decided to use what information I already have. And Kurmali, as a very minimal language near dead except in a few regions in Kurmal, wouldn't matter too much to the dialect. "Let us have a Midwestern accent." That's what I'm trying to say. The western accent is a midwestern accent spoken in places like Arizona, the "Wild West". The Ultran plains is a lot like the Wild West. |

| Message | I'll vote yes |
| Date | 18:59:36, December 31, 2008 CET | From | People's Imperial Alliance | To | Debating the OOC: Wiki Additions: English Accents/Dialects |
| Message | There should be some German influence though. |
| Date | 16:00:40, January 02, 2009 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the OOC: Wiki Additions: English Accents/Dialects |
| Message | Nah, all the palces around us speak English and Kurmali(OOC: Frisian) wouldn't be that influential after so long. |

| Message | we shoud have something German also, because we border to Dundorf and Dundorfians were early settlers in Aloria. |

| Message | I like, but I vote no because before finalizing, I think NP is right. We should have a Dundorfian accent as well. |
