Nilfgaardian & Elven Accents
So here are the clear-cut accents for the English games that we know:
Aedirn: Welsh
Kaedwen: Southern Irish
Redania: Northern English
Temeria: Southern English
Novigrad: London
Skellige: Northern Irish
Toussaint: Danish
Dwarves: Scottish
Ofir: Persian/Arab
My question is what the hell is the Nilfgaardian accent supposed to be analogous to? Obviously they're inspired by ancient Rome, but seem to also draw considerable influence from the Holy Roman Empire. But their accents are clearly not Roman nor German. They almost sound Dutch to me, but I really can't put a finger on it. The dwarves clearly have Scottish accents, and it seems that the elves sound a bit different than humans in general, but I can't quite tell what sort of British Isles accent they have; maybe its received pronunciation? IDK, somebody clear this up
