Yalla, Arabs in #dnd
Midani (Zakharan common) has 5 accents, if you& #39;re playing in Arabic, which dialects would you use based on the descriptions of each dialect?

I& #39;m influenced by Saudi/Yemeni dialects, mostly Hijazi & Hadhrami, so my choices below are biased on my experiences and views
Give me your perspectives and ideas, point out where I& #39;m wrong :D

Qudra+Free Cities:
Midani was spoken with a sharp, precise rhythm, with the ends of sentences frequently clipped
This has an Egyptian Arabic feel to it

Pearl Cities:
most voices were more melodious.
Definitely sounds a lot like Levant <3

Pantheist League:
consonants were trilled, seemingly at random
Probably cause I& #39;m from the Peninsula, but it sounds like Western Arabic (Tunisia, Morocco, Algerian), which I could never reproduce even if my life depends on it.
I& #39;d use Hijazi, the contender.

Eastern Zakhara:
Midani was spoken with a nasal accent.
Yep, Yemeni. Can& #39;t imagine anything else XD
Sana& #39;a, Taiz, or Hudaidah

Huzuz+Hiyal:
Sounded flat and mechanical compared to other Midani speakers. Believed that they spoke the "true" Midani tongue, which was known as the "Golden" dialect.
HEY! it& #39;s only mechanical if you can& #39;t do it right!
Modern Standard Arabic (or, Quranic Arabic) is very melodic
