Arcerion has a variety of regional accents that developed from their source and mother tongues of Ænglish and Gaelic, primarily from mass migration, regional and cultural slang, as well as impacts from their environment and to some extent, the percentage of upper-class education available during the 19th and 20th centuries. Particularly in the Arcer Heartland, there is a higher percentage of the language mixed with Indigenous tribal dialects, which blends in a way that is still noticeably Arcer Gaelic, however uses hundreds of indigenous words to describe actions or proper nouns. Certain regional dialects also have a higher social or cultural prestige associated with them. The traditional Ardmori upper-class accent has been found in a higher proportion in Southern metropolitan Arcerion, specifically Kurst and Chester-on-Moore, owing to the high influx of wealthy Ardmori families after the Ardmori Civil War that emigrated as refugees. | |||
The main Arcer regional accents can be grouped into four main sub-groups, however there can be differences between towns or within these subdivisons, such as the difference in the 'Island Accent' that is common between Foxhey and Howldand Governorates is still noticreably different between the two. The four main sub-groups are: Southern Metropolitan, Arcer Heartland (sometimes referred to as Heartland Cowboy), Island Dialect, Northern Mountain. | |||
