Pidgins would be Italians 100%
If animals could speak English in what foreign accent do you think that a certain species would certainly have ?

I think cats would have outrageously fake french accents.
slazer2au@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Meerkat 100% would have posh British accents with how they look around.
palordrolap@fedia.io 10 months ago
Ask the British (and apparently Australians too) about that and we might say meerkats are Russian on account of a very popular set of insurance TV advertisements.
That said, I haven't watched TV in earnest for a few years at this point, specifically before Russia fell from favour, so I'm not sure whether that's affected their popularity or not.
And I have no idea what we might have said prior to the ad campaign.

This encourages racist responses, but no one will notice until a people of color are involved.

What evidence do you have for that ?
/That’ll do pig. That’ll do.
AmidFuror@fedia.io 10 months ago
It was a prediction. We need to wait for the evidence.
So far groups mentioned have been Aussie, Brit, French, Italian, and Russian. At the time I made my comment it was Aussie and Italian only.

All racism is stereotyping, but maybe not all stereotyping is racist.
Moose would sound like John Goodman doing a decent accent.
Canada Geese could sound like peewee herman on meth.
Bears? Dunno.

Bears might sound like Nick Offerman (Ron from Parks & Rec)

Giraffes will speak with a Tanzanian accent
Oh, no! How racist
Idiot

You're the only one to comment with the accent of a people of color. You read my comment and then picked an African animal and gave it the accent of one of the African countries where it lived.
Congratulations for proving me wrong after being aware of my comment. But your entry wasn't at all funny or enlightening, so we all lose.

I would expect roos to sound very stereotypically Aussie.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 months ago
pigs would be speaking pig latin, dont know which accent though.
Sunsofold@lemmings.world 10 months ago
Somehow I think ducks would have an accent like the old ‘transatlantic’ accent used by actors from the 1940s.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 10 months ago
they would always be british for some reason.
FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In my mind Grizzly Bears sound like Maggie Smith.

Dogs - German (Huskies - Latino) Cats - Finnish Snakes - Parseltounge (yeah not a country but it’s an accent anyway) Rodents - British Birds - Arabic Bugs - Hungarian Lions - French Dolphins - American (new york specifically) Squirrels - Russian Fish - Indian (I’m under the water please send help)

Cats would speak received pronounciation
Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 10 months ago
Foxes would speak with a flemish accent.

Animals already have regional accents!
Iamsqueegee@sh.itjust.works 10 months ago
It’s been proven with cat’s meows. Distinct among various regions. And, they’re based on how human babies cry in those regions IIRC.
