/datum/accent/skrell
name = ACCENT_SKRELL
description = "In the Nralakk Federation, the typical skrellian accent has dozens of minute and tiny variations and can be found across a multitude of planets (and their colonies) \
and in a wide range of sectors. Its generality has resulted in the belief that it is the 'standard' accent for all Skrell. "
tag_icon = "skrell"
text_tag = "NRA"
/datum/accent/skrell/homeworld
name = ACCENT_HOMEWORLD
description = "The typical accent of the Homeworld (or Qerrbalak), is very much more distinct and enunciated than other variations of Nral'Malic. It puts specific emphasis on a \
melodious manner of speaking, their tones often jumping out of the standard human hearing range."
tag_icon = "skrell_homeworld"
text_tag = "QER"
/datum/accent/skrell/qerrmalic
name = ACCENT_QERRMALIC
description = "The Qerr'Malic accent is known for being rather soft, even hushed at some points. Because of the moon's tourist industry, it borrows elements from other accents to \
form a rather unique mixture that makes specific reference to keeping low tones accessible to non-Skrell, further cementing the overall 'quietness' to other Skrell as their sentences \
sound half-finished."
tag_icon = "skrell_qerrmalic"
text_tag = "QRM"
/datum/accent/skrell/aliose
name = ACCENT_ALIOSE
description = "It is often noted that those from Aliose have a distinctive shrill to their voices, emphasizing high notes frequently throughout their speech. The Skrell view this \
as guttural, mostly due to the resonations felt deep within their throats when attempting to replicate the accent."
tag_icon = "skrell_aliose"
text_tag = "ALI"
/datum/accent/skrell/aweiji
name = ACCENT_AWEIJI
description = "This type of accent emphasizes on a balance of highs and lows. It uses the nasal canal to further produce a harmonic pattern of speech. Idols are often found replicating \
this accent due to how gentle it is on both Skrell and non-Skrell."
tag_icon = "skrell_aweiji"
text_tag = "AWE"
/datum/accent/skrell/traverse
name = ACCENT_TRAVERSE
description = "Traverse accents are similar to those of Standard Nral'Malic accents; there are some differences on colonies in the sector, but the general trend of the accent \
seems to remain within the low ranges, often described as high-pitched and nasal in tone."
tag_icon = "skrell_traverse"
text_tag = "TRA"
/datum/accent/skrell/genner
name = ACCENT_GENNER
description = "The Generation Fleet accent is actually a catch-all term for the various accents that have developed aboard the Generation Fleets of the Nralakk Federation. \
As a result of being separated from their planet of origin for generations, these accents don't have much in common with any modern Skrell accent, and are usually \
described as sounding 'older' by other Skrell."
tag_icon = "skrell_genner"
text_tag = "GEN"
/datum/accent/skrell/ceti
name = ACCENT_SKRELLCETI
description = "While the Biesel accent is easy to pick up by most Tau Ceti Basic speakers, the Biesellite Skrell Standard accent is common in the more insular Skrell communities, \
especially those who are strongly pro-Federation. Biesellite Skrell Standard has many holdovers from Nralakk accents while also having some of the more obvious \
characteristics of the Biesellite accent."
tag_icon = "skrell_biesel"
text_tag = "BSS"
/datum/accent/skrell/sol
name = ACCENT_SKRELLSOL
description = "Solarian Skrell Standard can be seen as the Skrellian equivalent of the Solarian accent, having hundreds of variants that can be found on planets across \
the Sol Alliance. The accent has kept the notable tones from accents found in the Federation, while still heavily influenced by the pacing and pronunciation common in the \
average Solarian accent."
tag_icon = "skrell_sol"
text_tag = "SSS"
/datum/accent/skrell/coc
name = ACCENT_SKRELLCOC
description = "Coalition Skrell Standard refers to the various accents of Skrell living within the Coalition of Colonies. Heavily influenced by Freespeak, this accent \
is more guttural, with lower-pitched tones being more prevalent. The Coalition of Colonies has a reputation for being generally anti-Federation in policy, which has \
resulted in this accent being seen by Skrell as anti-Federation by association."
tag_icon = "skrell_coalition"
text_tag = "CSS"
/datum/accent/skrell/srom
name = ACCENT_SROM
description = "The projection of one's inner voice within the Srom. Anyone can understand or speak this language innately upon entering the Srom."
tag_icon = "skrell_srom"
text_tag = "SRM"
/datum/accent/skrell/tattuqig
name = ACCENT_TATTUQIG
description = "The Tattuqig accent has a slight drawl to it, and is known for the dropping or merging of vowels when speaking. Like many other Traverse accents it has \
a certain stigma attached to it, and is noted as being 'rural' or 'unrefined' by Skrell from the inner systems."
tag_icon = "skrell_tattuqig"
text_tag = "TAT"
