Writing In Accents: A Mistake?

[Maudie]

I say! What are all o' you young scallawags blabberin' on about? Can't understand a word you're saying, wot!

[The Shade]

Ah sure, and wern't we just a' saying how good the grand ald accents are? Ah, yiss yiss, so we were!

[Redwaller]

So you just mixed vermin, highlander, and lizard in one sentence? Weird.

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Ach, avay viz ye laddie! Weird be'z brav, burr aye!

[The Shade]

Oh, that is scary, theres a mole in there! 

[Emperor Ublaz]

I have always loved the accents. Molespeech was a bit difficult to comprehend at first, but after having read the first book, I was able to understand most of what the moles were saying. I also like how the hares combine words together. Absoballylutely!

[Tam and Martin]

I had trouble with mole at first too but I got the hang of it after the first 4 books I read.

[Redwaller]

One accent that I wanted to see more, was the old language. "Ye ol' shoemaker, Thou knowest what mine heart tells me!" (Random phrase)

[HeadInAnotherGalaxy]

Aye, but vherefore art zou Romeo? (Ah'm in ze buzhez, zomevone knocked over ze ztupid ladder!)

[Blaggut]

I understood every accent from the first two sentences

[MeadowR]

I would have liked to have some Welsh presence in the accents of some race at some point. There's influences of English and Scottish but there doesn't seem to be obvious accents that could be Welsh. Although some character in Redwall does say 'boyo' so maybe that's a contribution?

[Faiyloe]

I had a lot of trouble understanding mole speech but after the first five books I got the hang of it. It also took me some time to understand certain elements of highlander.

[Sailears]

One accent that I wanted to see more, was the old language. "Ye ol' shoemaker, Thou knowest what mine heart tells me!" (Random phrase)

So weird that Gulo spoke like that.

[MeadowR]

It's fun to speak like that! I suppose I agree that more characters should have spoken like that!

How art thou? / thy knowest/ thine... etc... 'tis great.

[Dag Downyfur]

I say, I love the jolly old accents,wot, in fact I want to use accents like those Redwall chaps in my own writing! But one of moi friends din't read much Redwall because ee didn't loike all thurr accents. ( But I don't really see why 'e din't like that, do you, mates?.)
