I like that *most* of the Quarians have accents. What I find odd is that some, like Kal Reegar, do not. Or some have a completely different, British sounding accent. I guess in game you can explain away the ones that don't sound like Tali as speaking Quarian, and being translated into Galactic by one of those gems that people wear in their ears.

Actually it's more weird that other races don't have more different accents; the Quarians aren't a single nation with one single accent, they are an entire species. Just look at how many languages and accents we have in a single nation here on Earth.
A couple of centuries together in the same fleet wouldn't elimate the original accents from their homeworld.

Universal Translators, standard language, no accent likely.

OP the Czech Republic is nowhere near
eastern Europe like Romania, Ukraine, Bulgaria and other such
countries. It is located at the very central part of Europe so it is
supposed to be referred to as a central European country. Please, get
educated first if you want your geography to look plausible.
As far as Tali's accent, I think she sounds a bit Russian/Ukrainian.

Nope, definately not Russian/Ukrainian. See S.T.A.L.K.E.R. and compare.

You can't compare accents from games, you have to actually hear people from those areas. I live in Eastern Europe, and her accent sounds slavic.

I gave the example of STALKER because (at least in the firs part) the NPCs used the typical Russian accent when speaking English, and it was nothing like what Tali (or some other Quarians) uses. And I also live in Eastern Europe (or Central - wherever ppl want to place Poland ), so I can definately say that Tali's accent isn't anything I hear when Polish ppl try to speak English.

[Dethateer]

Tali kind of sounds like my english teacher.







(who should be happy I don't have Chicken's accent, I learned english from watching too much Cow and Chicken).

[Kwonnern]

Sounds like she is from humble origins.



Maybe the Majority of the Quarians that live on "Quib-Quib" speak british?

[AlParsons]

Martanek, a few of us learned geography in the west before the Iron Curtain came down.  Back then, anywhere between Austria and the Soviet Union was taught as being Eastern Europe.  Everything else was Western Europe.  You are entirely correct about where Central Europe lies today, but I just wanted to shed some light on why even well-educated people might still call it Eastern Europe.

[Martanek]

phiont:

OK, I get your point. It is just that I often feel a little insulted when someone places my country closer to the Ukrainian/Russian region and then it might look like my country is as undeveloped in so many areas as those bigger post-soviet countries east of us. I know that geography-wise, we may still be thought of as being relatively close but mentality-wise we are a far more developed state and much closer to the "traditional" western Europe in the sense of political culture, social/human/civil rights and economy.

I agree that Tali's voice actor sounds eastern-European (maybe Polish if her ancestry is Polish) but her accent is probably made up largely just for the Tali character.



Sroka (Polish)=magpie

Straka (Czech)=magpie

Ahhh! Shoreh Aghdashloo!

edit: I think the idea with the Quarians is that some are away from the fleet for a long time which can mean they develop other accents.

Wasn't the accent completely made up by the voice actor?

[yuncas]

North-eastern europe? Russia? Ukraine? Belarus?

I've played the game too much, I read that in Mordin's voice in a fragmented sentence.

Or maybe different Quarians from different ships just have different accents.

Comparing it to Earth, you have to figure that when the Qarians fled their homeworld most "nations" were evacuated onto the same ships (ie: the ships that evacuated people from "England" would have had mostly English people aboard, while the ships that evacuated from "Australia" would have mostly Australians aboard, etc). 300 years later it's not out of the realm of possibility that regional dialects would be preserved from ship to ship.

Are there any countries with in inordinate amount of helium in the air?



Good god people, she doesn't have any earthly accent. What is marvin the martian's accent?

[Dethateer]

British.

[ElectAcclaimer]

Judging by the fact that all other quarians I met in ME2 did not have any accent at all, Tali might suffer from articulation disorder

I'd say it was E. European, with a bit of Russian.

t reminded me of Juhani from KotOR, though thankfully it wasn't as thick. I liked it, and especially liked the slight mechanical tinge brought to it by her suit.

[Bentenjamin]

I say Russian.

Hey! I was thinking that too.
