So we all know that different races speak different languages, which would predictably lead to a different sort of accent for each group when speaking common. From the time I've spent about and in different parts of Gielinor, these are the general parallels for accents by region/race that I've seen in use. Feel free to leave your own interpretations or preferences in the comments.

Keep in mind this is just my interpretation and what I've seen some other RP'ers using about. After all, there is no real rule about this sort of thing, and it is what you make of it. Tell me what you think in the comments.
