Unit talking languages.

Did anyone consider there may be a huge number of FFH players who play the english version because the mod was designed in it? I do 
And just seems awkward when an off-worldly fantasy unit suddenly replys in your native language, perfect and without any accent. Dwarf warrior: "Was wünschen sie?", "Ja!"
Same thing for all those people who are fluent in French, Spanish, Dutch and so on.
I would like:
- heavily acted and accented english (whispering dark elves, rumbling dwarves with dark voices, high pitched and clearly speaking angels...; i know its hard to do)
- fantasy gibberish
- some other "dead" language than latin, like e.g. mayan or so

Well, I think that's what the point of this thread is 
Seriously, if it bugs you just change the XML lines like is mentioned above to a language you aren't familiar with, like Babylon, or Native America (assuming you don't speak those languages, of course
)

Yeah , i also starting thinking seriously about playing with Fruity Loops i have at home, changing initial Old-languages commands in way that they will be sounds odd.
Also, anyone who want to try to experiment with mic - you are wellcome. I think it will we can fix more 1 buggy , nonsense topic, that Kael simply have not time to bug with.
Everybody who have good mic and sence that his accent is so heavy that can fit Doviello, balseraphs or whatever - cmon , start recording

Ideas for Balseraph talking:
"Bablefish constemdenated crealry!"
"Noses are hearing!!"
"Doogle - Boogle-e-e-e !"
"Pompeidom!"
Doviello:
"Gruum G-Rda!"
"Agu Aguuuuur-E Aa!"
(just some animalistic, not so clear screams)
Khazad and Orcs already fixed , so this should be continued in same style.
Calabim
I like Carthagian from Civ for them, however should play with FL to get some mystery/darker FX effects.
Hippus.
Mongolian fits them pretty well.
Kuriotate - My choice is Babylonian as it is.
Mercurians - my pers. choice Byzantine as it is. Is clear and fits to theological Mercurians well.
Bannor - Latin, thats it, good choice.
Malakim - egyptian.
Elves - need some FX job with Celtic. FXs should be different for Dark and Light Elves, but text same.
Sidar - summerian with FXs.
Luchuirp - same as Khazad but different bit FX? .
Lanun - well those actually sounds good with Portugese / Spanish. I know its motherlanguage for some players , but i think it actually cool have own language attaches to such nice civ.
Illians - my choice is Russian (my motherlanguage). It really fits all paganic east slavic tales. Yeah, russian fits them best while not to Doviello at all. May be some FX will be good too, to make voice more cold.
to be continued....

I highly respect and admire the volunteers that we have on this forum. I'm a FFH fan also, and I would gladly help whenever I can.
What I would like to remind everyone though, is that voice acting is a very professional, highly trained skill. If you aren't, then I'm 101% sure that it will be a mess. A plain mess, to the point where I WILL shut down all speech and possibly all sound whenever I play. Again, I am highly appreciative of the language skills and enthusiaism of the posters here. I'm just saying that voice acting is not really about knowing the language, but about knowing how to voice act.
Perhaps I'm biased in the sense that I am very sick and tired of crappy voice acting in the United States, but I can tell you that in most of the world, there's no such thing as an amateur voice actor.

Well, that ain't me. I live in Scotland and cant even do a Scottish accent.

ah, there's the thing. there is no scottish accent, or american, etc. 'generic' accents tend to have a high cringe factor.
