Arjuna.R Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hindi and Urdu are similar enough to pass for each other in game. While trying to figure out which language would have had the most speakers amongst Indian Divisions in Italy I couldn't find anything more useful than this in the official history:'As an illustration, their Army newspapers now appeared in eleven languages, instead of two as in peace time. Even the impassive Gurkhas had their Gurkhali news sheet, which they read with avidity. ' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warts 'n' all Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I wouldn't worry too much about a 100% set of "Indian" accents from across the sub-continent, just go with the flow. After all, that is what we all do with the mish-mash of "British" voices when playing with the various regional divisions, and regiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BletchleyGeek Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Looking forward to see and hear the Indian Army in its full digital glory... they fought probably the hardest and toughest of campaigns in Italy and Burma. @Warts 'n' all I am personally looking forward to an Scottish voice pack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benpark Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Imagine that process- A struggling actor in another country (possibly), sent a script they know little about. A job in video games seems exciting enough. They open the script and scan it. Maybe at home in front of a mic? In a plush studio with carpet on the walls, with a poster of Rick James over the boards? Taps the mic- "Sibilance, sibilance". Quiet on the set! "Is there any direction given?" The actor inquires. No notes, beyond "should exhibit terror", or "pinned down (wot!?!)". They struggle to find the character, then are told "it's actually a lot of different guys that need distinct voices- all you!". The actor sags in his chair. Straightens up, and begins..."Advance!". I really want to have an alternate take mod with the flat delivery. "Move out, or take a nap, or whatever". Nicely done, Elvis. Stuff like this makes the game educational, as well as realistic and even informative. I'm psyched to learn some Urdu. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevor Noah? Charlize Theron? I guess folks will have to wait to find out. As a South African, I can definitely say that your way off on the Trevor Noah accent. His accent is now as American as they come. Charlize Therons accent is also allot more American now, until she switches to Afrikaans. Both these individuals changed to get their accents allot to fit in with the tv/movie scene. So they are extremely poor examples. Arnold Vosloo (He had roles in the Mummy I & II and Blood Diamonds) has a proper English South African accent. On 9/10/2019 at 8:09 PM, DerKommissar said: Die Antwoord? I am hyped to find out which language (English or Afrikaans) they will speak -- let alone how they sound. Die Antwoord?? These guys are also an extremely bad example of South African accents in Afrikaans & English as they go out of their way to be as degenerate and "Brakpan" (What we call redneck hillbillies here in S.A) as they can be. Their going the way of Lady Gaga, which is to shock people with their antics to get fame. Im hoping that the Dev team got some decent actors in to do the voice overs.
