Most of the accents specifically tailored in the game that come to mind are mostly to my memory:
- Ye old english, "thou shalt blablabla", mostly used in old books, prophecies, or spoken by wyrms and dragons, and Urianger cause he's weird like that.
- Noble talk: not a proper accent with specific words per se, but generally very pompous and long winded. Formal and elevated.
- Commoner's talk: more or less the normal way of talking I would say. Can lean towards a more vulgar version when used by Brume people like Hilda (she swears a lot).
- Sailor's talk: mostly Lominsan. Explicit. You can find a hardcore version of it at the Rogues' guild, basically, the same patterns of speach but with a specific glossary of words like "cove" and whatnot.
- Hingan language: pretty normal (with very humble tones to it), and the occasional smattering of japanese specific words like "Ijin" (gaijin), etc. Unsure if it's the same for Domans as Hien doesn't seem to use anything specific.
- Sciencey talk: just add a lot of science words and a modern, scientific way of talking. Mostly used by Garlean engineers, or eorzean scientists or alchemists.
- Corporate talk: mostly heard from allagan nodes and all their science/modern corporate system. And also from Garlond's executive girl.
But yeah I don't know any dictionnary of sorts and honestly I don't think you would need one for most accents you have.Â
Swearing and curses could indeed make for a specific glossary since Eorzea actually has a lot of specific curses like "Thal's Balls", "Seven Hells", etc, for the most famous/common of them. They tend to transcend accents and classes.
You of course also have all the eorzean specific measures and units like the calendar (they forget here sennight and fortnight for the week and 14 days) and their non metric system.
I don't know of any Hingan dictionnary yet, but there was a thread compiling some of them around here...
