I heard bits and pieces of both Russian and Scandinavian.
also spanish
i do believe her accent is "unplaceable foreigner"
>>27497511
Accent is fine.
No need question, essay.
American pretending to speak with accent
>>27497527
But the staff is Canadian.
>>27497530
it's mixed
I think it was intended to be Scandinavian, probably Swedish (reference to Swedish massages maybe? I don't know.)
>americans in charge of recognizing accents
it's eastern-european you fucks.
I want to take off her headband and stuff it into her mouth and hear her muffled moans in her qt accent as I do lewd things to her.
>>27497530
Canada is in America
>>27497548
>eastern European
How fucking specific.
>>27497562
They developed linguistically different than Americans. The whole French-Britain affair of their history.
>>27497527
>>27497530
>>27497548
It's a Canadian fulfilling American/Canadian vision of very Eastern European accent.
>>27497549
D-damn
>>27497511
Eastern europe - maybe Czech or Slovak. Or Bulgarian. Or some Balkans.
Polish is more rude to hearing with lot of "pshche-pshche".
Russian had harder "R" or "Z"
Ukarnian are the same as Russian + "H" instead of "G". Basically - it's Polish polished Russian.
Belorussian - it's like child trying to speak Russian
>>27497675
>maybe Czech or Slovak
absolutely no
>>27497511
Maybe it's a foreign accent of a language that only exists in Equestria
>>27497566
That doesnt really change the geographical location of Canada.
>>27497944
ISN'T CANADA IN INDIA?
She says h as ch and pronounces i softly + preceding consonants, so I'd put it somewhere Eastern Slavic, roughly Russian.
It's not CZ/SK simply for those two things.
Polish has a distinctly different melody to it.
>>27497511
Well OP as it just so turns out, Russia and Scandinavia are fairly close together in the world. Their accents have similar qualities (with noticeable differences, yes). It sounds like an eastern Scandinavian accent to me.
So...her accent is what we'd get if we had an immigrant from Russia live in Scandinavia for a while before arriving in Canada?
>>27497511
Her accent is native to some place in Horseland which does not exist in nor has an analog in Earth.

Name any named pony settlement with no real world parallels.
>inb4 Ponyville
It's a literal anytown.
>>27499056
Crystal Empire
>>27497511
Her accent was shit.
also
>scandinavian
Nah. Not at all.
>>27497511
Don't know what her accent is but I would totally whiz inside of her weenie.
>>27499076
As Canterlot is Camelot, the Crystal Empire is Faerie, Atlantis or Mu.
>>27499117
>>27499056
Cloudsdale
>>27499056
Hollow Shades
>>27499144
Shangrila, classical depictions of Olympus, elements of Valhalla
>>27499168
Sleepy Hollow
>>27499117
>Camelot exists
>Atlantis exists
>>27499201
Real World Parallels, as in equivalents in our reality. I'm not saying those places exist. I'm saying pony places are parallels to them.
>>27499186
It's a floating, mobile city which manages weather. I doubt that the writers of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic were inspired to make a place based on Valhalla.
>>27499252
Then you do them a disservice.
You have no issue with Shangri La or Olympus then? Both attributed to weather control.
>>27499189
Proof
>>27499297
>>27499297
Not even that guy, but...
>Isolated towns
>both spooky
>both named Hollow
It's pretty clear.
>>27499326
Where the hell is Hollow Shades ever said to be spooky? Because it's in a forest?
>>27497511
She has a british accent
>>27499373
A dark and spooky one. Like Sleepy Hollow.
Again, it's pretty clear dude.
>>27499326
I was just going by name alone DESU
>>27499272
If any place in the show is an analog of Olympus, it's Canterlot. As for Shangri La, I see no similarity.
I don't mean to say that the writers are/were bad, just that Cloudsdale is an original idea of a place compared to Manhattan or Fillydelphia.
How did this thread go from trying to figure out an accent to debating whether or not locations in the show are inspired by places in the real world/ other works of fiction?
>>27499412
Canterlot is Camelot and in no way skybourne. Classical Olympus was a realm of cloud accessed by the mountain but not on the mountain proper. If you prefer, it's a bit like cartoon depictions of Heaven but I thought that was obvious.
>>27499421
Tangents.
Bump for more arguments
>>27501103
It's not happening
>>27502569
Yes it is.
>>27497511
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a Russian accent.
>>27499082
DELETE THIS
>>27502687
But I don't think a Russian person could fuck up the letter "J"
Spa horse called applejack "Apple-yack"
>>27497537
I'm Scandinavian, and trust me, that was not a Scandinavian accent.
>>27501103
She's from some unnamed place off the official map.
>>27502939
Other than some Hispanic languages (she's clearly not speaking any variant), which others pronounce "j" like that?
>>27497511
Either way, her voice and the voice of Swedish Spitfire are boner fuel.

>>27499238
I don't understand the kind of mentality you're responding to.
You can realize that reality and fiction are different things, but you can also recognize situations in fiction that are directly inspired by or based on something in the real world. Either actual existing places and cultures, or long-established myths and other stories.
>>27504944
No clue, was just trying to narrow it down. Maybe the voice actor didn't know what accent she was going for when she was doing it and nobody cared. I know I flub accents sometimes when I don't plan what in saying ahead of time. I'm not a voice actor though
>>27497981

She's from Arstotzka.

That was super tryhard bullshit.

Tabitha St. Germain is an American.
>>27507789
A real American?
It's an equestrian accent
>>27502939
Russians sometimes transliterate я(ya) like ja. Thus a Russian completely oblivious to pronunciation of English words COULD read "Applejack" like "aппл як".
>>27497511
Sounded to me likepure sex
>>27497675
as a western Slav I can tell you that it's definitely not one of our languages, the pronunciation of Applejack and the hard rolling Rs make it a fake Russian accent.
>>27499056
The Crystal Empire
The Dragon Lands
Griffonstone
Tall Tale
Hollow Shades
>>27499117
No, the breezies' home would be the Faerie Lands. Just because it's a "disappeared realm" doesn't mean it's equivalent. Also,
>Faerie
>Atlantis
>Mu
>Camelot
These are your REAL WORLD parallels?
>>27497549
This is the sort of thing I'd like to hear more about.
She sounds Bulgarian. I am surrounded by bulgarian females and all of their accents sound like this when trying to talk English.
