Game Of Accents: The North

Ойын-сауық

The accents in Game of Thrones have always been dodgy. Today I will discuss why in part 1 of a 7 part series.

    It's somewhat plausible that Sansa would try to imitate her mother's southern accent, given her childhood spent dreaming of chivalry and the South, but Ramsay was raised by a miller's wife for his first dozen years or so. And he didn't 'learn his letters'' until he came to the Dreadfort, so accent should sound thick as hell. And Jorah's always bothered me, given that he grew up in the ass-end of nowhere in the North and his immediate family all sound suitably Northern except for him.

    Cheers for this - as a real life northerner the accents in GoT always been funny. I think for this we have to thank Sean Bean's absolute refusal to do any accent other than his own, and every one else simply just had to do their best.

    Jorah was in exile 5 years before the events of AGoT. Ned remembers banishing him apparently according to a Reddit deep dive. But he was constantly traveling to essos for however long he was a slave trader.

    The books have made it clear that people all over Westeros sound different, depending on the region they're from, or even the region of that region. Pyp is able to recognize Samwell Tarly as being from the Reach, or the kids of King's Landing not being able to understand Arya Stark, presumably due to her speaking the Common Tongue in a Northern accent. Tyrion Lannister knows that he sounds like he from the Westerlands, and highborn at that. There is also the foul sounding Kingslander courtesy of Duncan the Tall, and of course we mustn't forget the infamous Dornish drawl. Blame the show for not putting an effort in.

    It’s funny that Wyman has such a strong northern accent because I always pictured the manderly’s sounding more like a blend between southern and northern. Especially with the wording Wyman uses in the books, reads as a bit posh and flowery to me. After all they come from the south and are sailors/traders, so they would encounter the other people of Westeros more often than the other houses of the north would.

    I think you need to include Gin Alley (the Kings Landing cockneys' turf) as part of T' Nuuurf since characters who grew up on gin alley have accents ranging from Peggy Mitchell through greater Manchester (wotsisname, DRINKIN BLUD FRUM THE SKULL O' JEEEEEYOOORRR FUUUCKN MORRRRM'NT in Crastors Keep) up to some sort of Tyne/Wear side Geordie Davos, if it's owt like britain then Gin Alley's gotta be about 3or400 miles long, and that's a LOOONG line of nightsoil to dodge, skillfully enough to earn a blue plaque like that one Jarvis Cocker got outside the corner shop

    Also something you should have told our American cousins, if you want someone to sound insidiously posh, you get a foreign actor to do posh English voice. Hence an American and a Dane playing the Lannisters and an Irishman playing the most evil man in the North. Ironically Sean Bean doing posh voice has the same effect, which should tell you about the social divisions in this country that received pronunciation sounds as unlike Yorkshire as it does to people who aren't even native English speakers

    OG Lord Karstark had an Irish accent for some reason. Also Liam Cunningham is Irish, even tho he talks geordie (also, for some reason. He's from Flea Bottom, he should probably have an East End accent) Do kinda love the idea that Westeros' regional dialects echo English regional dialects tho, just because it means snooty Lannisters having thick Somerset accents. That'd be even funnier than Roy Dotrice making Tyrion Welsh (for *some* reason)
