/datum/accent/rootsong
name = ACCENT_ROOTSONG
description = "An accent native to the Dionae born within atmospheric conditions, more specifically that of planets. More commonly found in Dionae that were exposed to non-ionising or trace amounts of radiation during their formative years. To non-Dionae, this accent is akin to singing - a high pitched voice that has various rises and falls between soprano and mezzo-soprano."
tag_icon = "dionae_rootsong"
text_tag = "RTS"
/datum/accent/voidsong
name = ACCENT_VOIDSONG
description = "An innate accent spoken by Dionae that were born within the vacuum of space, or near extreme amounts of ionising radiation. The accent is said to be incredibly deep, and some have said that the Dionae that have the accent sound extremely similar to baritone, varying between basslike and tenorlike."

/datum/accent/crimsonsong
name = ACCENT_CRIMSONSONG
description = "Originating from the red sea that is the Badlands, Crimsonsong is a variation of Voidsong spoken by Dionae hailing from the region, with the main distinction between the two being a noticeably faster tempo as well as a slightly higher pitch."
tag_icon = "dionae_crimsonsong"
text_tag = "CNS"
/datum/accent/ironsong
name = ACCENT_IRONSONG
description = "One of the more peculiar accents spoken by Dionae, Ironsong is notable for not being an accent developed purposefully or through growth conditions, but rather be developed through voice-modulating technology and implants found within Dionae following the Iron Eternal faith. Some variations of the accent do exist, but all under the Ironsong term are distinct for giving the speaker a slightly robotic tone to their speech as if its gone through a radio or some form of synthesizer. "
tag_icon = "dionae_ironsong"
text_tag = "INS"
/datum/accent/laboursong
name = ACCENT_LABOURSONG
description = "An accent unique to Dionae of the Narrows penal vessel. The accent has developed as a result of Narrows dionae restricting their pitch to their octave rank, giving it a very rigid and dull, mono-octave sound, where pronunciation is slow and deliberate. When multiple Narrows dionae come together and speak or sing at once, the accent shines, with beautiful harmonies sounding during their worksongs."
tag_icon = "dionae_laboursong"
text_tag = "LBS"
//Human Influenced Accents
/datum/accent/meadowsong
name = ACCENT_MEADOWSONG
description = "Influenced by the people of Mictlan, Meadowsong is found only among the Primitive Sirens. It's often considered an even more musical accent than most, with a near-constant sing-song inflection."
tag_icon = "dionae_meadow"
text_tag = "MWS"
/datum/accent/undersong
name = ACCENT_UNDERSONG
description = "Utilized by the Underhive Collective of the Eridani Corporate Federation, Undersong often fails to resonate as strongly as other accents due to the sparse lighting conditions in Dreg settlements where the Underhive resides, leading to poor development."
tag_icon = "dionae_under"
text_tag = "UNS"
//Vaurca Influenced Accents
/datum/accent/hivesong
name = ACCENT_HIVESONG
description = "Unique to those known as the Pests of Titan Prime, Hivesong is influenced by the buzzing and clacking noises of Vaurca, and as such tends to sound much harsher to the ears than many other Dionae accents."
tag_icon = "dionae_hive"
text_tag = "HVS"
//Unathi Influenced Accents
/datum/accent/sandsong
name = ACCENT_SANDSONG
description = "Found exclusively in Dionae hailing from the Unathi-Dominated world of Moghes, Sandsong is a distinct variation of Rootsong notable for having its tempo much more drawn out, with tones of higher pitches especially having a much more exaggerated sound. Dionae speaking with the Sandsong accent will typically hold certain speech patterns held by Unathi such as hissing out their Ss and difficulties pronouncing the letter X. "
tag_icon = "dionae_sandsong"
text_tag = "SDS"
/datum/accent/wastesong
name = ACCENT_WASTESONG
description = "Originating from the irradiated Moghes Wastes, Wastesong is an accent spoken by Dionae who found themselves being bathed in the Wastelands radiation, making them healthy and much more resilient than some of their other planet-bound brethren, but also giving them a slightly distinct accent notable for having a lower-pitched voice compared to regular Rootsong but also a much faster tempo. Much like Sandsong, Dionae with the Wasteland accent will typically carry similar speech patterns to Unathi such as hissing out their Ss."
tag_icon = "dionae_wastesong"
text_tag = "WES"
//Skrell influenced Accents
/datum/accent/wavesong
name = ACCENT_WAVESONG
description = "A variant of Rootsong originating from Diona born on Skrellian worlds, Wavesong is considered the general accent for Dionae hailing from the Nralakk Federation. While it shares many similarities with Rootsong, Wavesong sets itself apart by having a lower pitch and more drawn-out tempo in comparison. While not considered mandatory, many Dionae living in the Federation will adopt the accent due to it being generally more favored by the Federation, often granting those with the accent a higher social credit score."
tag_icon = "dionae_wavesong"
text_tag = "WAS"
/datum/accent/sunkensong
name = ACCENT_SUNKENSONG
description = "Sunkensong is a variant of Voidsong that is common for space-borne Dionae hailing from regions surrounding the Tri-Qyu Nebula. Known for it's lighter pitch and tone, along with it's consistent, even pacing for words, the accent is prevalent amongst Nralakk Federation Diona that originate from wild, voidbound gestalts. Dionae with Sunkensong may attempt to mimic Skrell accents in an attempt to replicate the more popular Starsong, with mixed results."
tag_icon = "dionae_sunkensong"
text_tag = "SNS"
/datum/accent/starsong
name = ACCENT_STARSONG
description = "Spoken exclusively by Dionae hailing from the Conglomerated Choir of Nralakk, Starsong is a constructed variation of Sunkensong developed by Federation linguists soon after first contact was made. The accent was purposefully curated to further culturally align the cluster with Skrell and to create closer ties between the two species. Through curated communications and manipulation of blood samples, Starsong is considered a desirable accent by many Dionae in the Federation, furthering the Choir's idol-like status amongst gestalts."
tag_icon = "dionae_starsong"
text_tag = "SRS"
/datum/accent/xrimsong
name = ACCENT_XRIMSONG
description = "A unique combination of elements from both Nral'malic and Rootsong, Xrim's accent can generally be picked up due to its slow, dulcet sound. It has wide range, and can reach as high as a Soprano and as low as an Alto. Its fluctuations are generally an easy way to detect the accent, being one of the more novel accents within the Federation, and abroad."

// Hieroaetherian Accents
/datum/accent/hieroaetherian
name = ACCENT_HIEROAETHERIAN
description = "An accent unique to dionae hailing from the Commonwealth of Hieroaetheria who live outside of the three nations, known as Hieroaetherian Old. It sounds similar to Rootsong, although with a unique tonality that often begins and ends on high-pitched harmonies, sounding rather elegant. The accent has been in-decline due to the rising dominance of the three major factions."
tag_icon = "dionae_hieroaetheria"
text_tag = "HRA"
/datum/accent/rapturian
name = ACCENT_RAPTURIAN
description = "A Voidsong accent unique to dionae hailing from the Titan's Rapture system, who originate away from Hieroaetheria and instead elsewhere in the Titan's Rapture system. The accent is categorised as almost obnoxious, being louder and higher than other forms of Voidsong in the tenor range, as well as being spoken at a quicker pace, making it difficult to keep up with sometimes - this is believed to be due to Titan's Rapture dionae grappling for attention in such a loud and overwhelming environment."
tag_icon = "dionae_rapture"
text_tag = "TNR"
/datum/accent/consortium
name = ACCENT_CONSORTIUM
description = "An accent very similar to Ancient Song, though standardised to be the same across the Consortium of Hieroaetheria and more easy on the ears of non-dionae. It remains typically higher pitched than ordinary Rootsong, though lacks the unique tonality of Hieroaetherian Old, and in recent times has begun to adopt some chirpy sounds of skrell."
tag_icon = "dionae_consortium"
text_tag = "CNS"
/datum/accent/glaorr
name = ACCENT_GLAORR
description = "An eloquent accent heard in the territories controlled by the Union of Gla'orr, where each syllable is perfectly enunciated and each note harmonised when speaking with other dionae. It has a similar tonality to Hieroaetherian Old, though with a bit of sing-songy lilt."
tag_icon = "dionae_glaorr"
text_tag = "UNN"
/datum/accent/ekane
name = ACCENT_EKANE

tag_icon = "dionae_ekane"
text_tag = "ETR"
/datum/accent/anu
name = ACCENT_ANU
description = "A dialect of Consortium Standard which is characterised by it's slight higher pitch than ordinary Rootsong, though one which lacks the unique tonality of other accents heard on Hieroaetheria. Compared to Consortium Standard, the Anu dialect incorporates even more skrell-like chirps and human-like hums; even when speaking Rootsong, this dialect of Consortium Standard almost sounds understandable to non-Dionae if heard in the background."
tag_icon = "dionae_anu"
text_tag = "ANU"
/datum/accent/gentlewinds
name = ACCENT_GENTLEWINDS
description = "An accent entirely divorced from Consortium Standard due to the different growing conditions on Gentle Winds, this accent is a hybridised Rootsong-Voidsong accent, sitting awkwardly between the tenor and alto ranges and only with the occasional, low, resonant warble-like sound that connects it to Consortium Standard."
tag_icon = "dionae_gentle"
text_tag = "GNL"
/datum/accent/hopestendrils
name = ACCENT_HOPESTENDRILS
description = "A dialect of Consortium Standard which is characterised by it's slight higher pitch than ordinary Rootsong, though one which lacks the unique tonality of other accents heard on Hieroaetheria. Compared to Consortium Standard, the Hope's Tendrils dialect is noticably more euphoric with a sing-songy pacing and sustained notes."
