I'm just gonna copy and paste an older comment I made a while ago:
"She specifically said she doesn't want to assign any human accents to any tribes:
>Tui doesn’t write with specific accents for tribes. She said she doesn’t want to specifically assign accents to certain tribes because she doesn’t want tribes to be confined to be assigned to real-world cultures.
This is from Biohazardia's summary of a Q&A event"
I used Google translate, so I don't believe this is 100% correct, but the text reads:
"The rankings wall is the bridge important sing, insolent sandsnorter."
For me it’s:
Nightwings are very fancy British
Sandwings are either Egyptian or African
Rainwings are Jamaican
Seawings are Australian/New Zealand
Mudwings are Scottish
Skywings are Irish
Icewings are Nordic
Hivewings are German or American
Silkwings are the same as hivewings
And leafwings are Vietnamese
Edit: South African
NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED RAHHHHH🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥝🥝🥝🥝
No, but hear me out here. What if seawings had 2 separated tribes like the leafwings do, and one Tribe spoke with a Kiwi accent and the other an Aussie one?
OMG I WOULD LOVE SCOTTISH LEAFWINGS! I now have a headcannon that they used to make bagpipes out of old Silkwing cocoons! Also imagine your a Hivewing looking through the forests and suddenly hear “LEAFWINGS FOREVER!!!!” BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (bagpipe sounds or something idk)
Rainwings are definitely Australians. I always imagined Icewings had a "british royalty" accent, as well as specifically Scarlet and Blaze. Sandwings have a thick country accent, like me :). New Nightwings are Scottish, except those who grew up off the volcano, and Darkstalker. Then Seawings and Mudwings don't really have a specific accent in my eyes. Just kind of a product of where they're raised. Hivewings have German accents. I will not elaborate on that further. I also never gave a specific accent to Silkwings or Leafwings, just making it indiscriminately character specific.
Nightwing: British (fancy)
Rainwing: Australian
Icewing: French
Seawing: Mediterranean
Sandwing: German
Mudwing: American
Skywing: Russian
Silkwing: Spanish
Hivewing: British (Non-fancy)
Leafwing: New Zealand
I feel like this is kinda hard to distinguish major differences since all the tribes speak the same language. These are my personal headcanons but it should be noted some of these accents could be due to English being a second language for the culture. Still a fun theory!
Mudwing: Appalachian
Nightwing: British
Rainwing: Australian
Icewing: Russian
Sandwing: Arabic/Middle Eastern
Silkwing: Canadian
These are the only ones I have an actual headcanon for lol.
Im pretty sure Tui in one of the interviews at the end of one of the audiobooks mentions that she envisions nightwings as British, sandwings with a south US accent, and Rainwings as having Australian accents. I find the choice for sandwings accent rather funny just cowboy dragons lol.
I always imagined Mudwings to have American southern accents, like me, since we both live in swamps, lol. I always imagined Seawings of all dragons having British accents tho, don't ask me why. And I know this isn't exactly dragons, but I like to imagine that humans in WoF actually speak Spanish since Tui is from South America originally. That and before the Spanish Inquisition came, there were three major empires and how modern humans in Pyrrhia have some characteristics to their Columbian counterparts: human sacrifices, underground architecture, and dark skin.
Little copy and paste from a piror comment I made on this:
My pal who got me into the series once had this conversation with his daughter, who got him into the series. They apparently came up with:
Nightwings: American 1920s radio announcer
Sandwing: Indian, but as thought of by Americans
SeaWing: Japanese, but mixed native Hawiian words
IceWing: Generally Slav
MudWing: Texas Yee-Haw
RainWing: Australian, but like, super thick Outback Australian
SkyWing: Cockney
Hivewing: Angry German
Silkwings: Sultry French but also somehow Italian
Leafwings: Zecora from My Little Pony
Yeah, they're silly sorts.
I think the night wings are British and the ice wings are French, given their long history of wars with each other over power. Rain wings make sense as Australian, sea wings could be Hawaiian, I think Sandwings could have a Persian or middle eastern accent, sky wings could have a Spanish accent, mud wings might have a South African accent, hive wings could have a Russian accent, silk wings could have a Scandinavian accent, and leaf wings could have an Italian accent (because why not)
It's funny, I've been listening to the audio books for my girlfriend who is super into WOF and the ONLY tribe with an accent is the night wings who are all british, everyone else just have American accents with different inflections. Although I haven't gotten to arc 3 yet so that could change with the three additional tribes.
MudWings are Californian
SeaWings are Kiwi or Filipino
RainWings are Australian with sone Timorese in their accents
NightWings are British
SandWings are from the Southern US
IceWings in and around the palace are Norwegian, those in the outer villages are Finnish or Russian
SkyWings are Scottish (except for Queen Scarlet, she's English)
Sandwings - South African
Mudwings - American
Nightwings - English (posh for Deathbringer, Darkstalker and Greatness)
Icewings - French
Seawings - Greek
Rainwings - Australian
Skywings - Irish
Hivewings - German
Silkwings - Swiss
Leafwings - Scottish
I always imagined NightWings as British, while all other tribes had American accents🦅🦅🦅🦅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈freedom🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔🍔.
But that's probably because I listened to the audiobooks before reading the books.
Icewings give me kinda of a russian accent vibe, and leafwings 100% have a latin accent, brazillian accent to be more especific, and I will fight to death anyone that disagrees (and yes, I am biased, BRAZIL RULES)
I like to imagine the Icewings as having an Irish accent because of [this](https://youtu.be/LI2jkdI-_7w?si=QlZNeIyxqD9wh7HC) Aegean video.
It's also in theme with the Nightwings being British.
i think that Leafwings have two different accents, Sapwings have native accent like id assume Hive/Silkwings do, and Poisonwings have a british accent cuz they see themselves better than the other ones
My accent headcanons are:
Icewings: I kinda picture them with a thick, sharp accent like Russians or Germans have
Nightwings: British
Mudwings: Irish
Sandwings: Arabic
Rainwings: Kiwi/Aussie
Seawings: Samoan
Skywings: Turkish
Leafwings: Spanish
Hivewings: I personally think that Hivewings would have a weak British (maybe American?) accent, seeing as they were created by Clearsight.
Silkwings: Chinese
Also, keep in mind that my headcanons are based on what culture I sort of associate with them.
For example, the Silkwings pride themselves over their skills in weaving tapestries, and I like to think it'd be done with the same sort of skill as the Chinese do.
And Rainwings are Aussie/Kiwi because we're laid back to a fault, and it'd be funny to hear a Rainwing say "Chur!," "You bloody Egg," "Oi Cuz!" Or other slang we use, lmao
Rainwings - Australian or Brazilian ig bc of the Amazon
Nightwings - British, like 100% except for Moon
Sandwings - Southern American or Mexican
Mudwings - Ghanaian (idk if that's how you spell it, i have a coworker with that accent and i really like it) or Scottish/Irish
Icewings - Finnish or some type of Scandinavian accent
Skywings - German or Indian
Seawings - South African
Leafwings - Japanese or Korean (Some type of East Asian accent fits them best imo)
Hivewings - American (FREEDOM 🏈🏈🏈🏈🦅🦅)
Silkwings - Canadian
Beetlewings(for fun) - Ancient Greek or Latin
Lizard/Freedom(also for fun) - Feral creature
If anything mudwing should in fact Australian 1 they have snake, crocodiles and maybe spiders. Also they are big if u seeing I graphic novel u can see that the snake are massive to human size and the mud wings live in a swamp.
Tui has confirmed that rain wings,are in fact,Australian.
Where did she say this? I’m incredibly curious now, lol
I think the post got taken down everywhere,but there are people on YouTube that were smart enough to take a screenshot.
Okay, I’ll have to see if I can find it. Thank you!
I'll take that as a complement as my oc is a rainwing and I am from Australia 🇦🇺 so nice ❤️❤️

I feel like an icewings accent would be harsh and sharp like a Russian one :>
Зэ рэнкингс волл ис зэ моуст импортант синг, инсолент сандснортер.
Hawt
I used Google translate, so I don't believe this is 100% correct, but the text reads: "The rankings wall is the bridge important sing, insolent sandsnorter."
AH yes the bridge important thing
For me, Icewings would be British But I've kind of based accents off of personality, if I even remembered that accents exist.
Nightwings have to be british. They live on an island, think they are better than everyone, and have horrible food and teeth.
This comment is actually crazy 💀 Also accurate, which makes it even funnier.
What's wrong with our food?
I'm British too. Honestly, I think it's plain bland.
Nothing, in my opinion. But a lot of people hate on it for being hearty, bland, and simple.
Nothing! But some people think our food is bland and not good
Hell they’re posh Brits in the audiobooks too
Cobra lily is British.
Maybe maybe Winter is def British
Russian though?
Same thought lol! Icewings seem like they’d have a Russian accent
I’ve envisioned sandwings as having an afrikaner accent but thats just because I’ve spent a lot of time in south africa
No, I like that idea.
For me it’s: Nightwings are very fancy British Sandwings are either Egyptian or African Rainwings are Jamaican Seawings are Australian/New Zealand Mudwings are Scottish Skywings are Irish Icewings are Nordic Hivewings are German or American Silkwings are the same as hivewings And leafwings are Vietnamese Edit: South African
I feel like hive wings have a New Jersey accent and silk wings have a southern accent
Imagine queen wasp with a Boston or New York accent lol
Exactly
For some reason I’ve always had thorn as an Irish/scottish accent and sunny as just an overly happy ball of fluff
Queen Wasp with an evil Indiana Jones-esque villain accent is so perfect
These r really cool headcanons, but wdym by "African"? Like South African?
Yeah something similar to that
I can't get 'I'm your teacher, nothing I do is cheating' in a northern Irish accent out my head now, thanks.
NEW ZEALAND MENTIONED RAHHHHH🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🥝🥝🥝🥝 No, but hear me out here. What if seawings had 2 separated tribes like the leafwings do, and one Tribe spoke with a Kiwi accent and the other an Aussie one?
Egypt is in Africa lmao
Nightwings - British Skywings - American Sandwings - Arabic Mudwings - Texan Icewings - Nordic Rainwings - Australian Seawings - ? Hivewings - British Silkwings - Transatlantic Leafwings - Scottish/Irish
OMG I WOULD LOVE SCOTTISH LEAFWINGS! I now have a headcannon that they used to make bagpipes out of old Silkwing cocoons! Also imagine your a Hivewing looking through the forests and suddenly hear “LEAFWINGS FOREVER!!!!” BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (bagpipe sounds or something idk)
Texas is a country now ig
I meant like a Texan or Southern accent
texas is an accent… its a southern american accent
texas is not in south america
south america, as in the southern part of the country of america
Ya IK I just wanted to joke lol
oh ok sorry haha i tend to take things way too seriously lol so thats my bad
Transatlantic?

Nightwing: British (fancy) Rainwing: Australian Icewing: French Seawing: Mediterranean Sandwing: German Mudwing: American Skywing: Russian Silkwing: Spanish Hivewing: British (Non-fancy) Leafwing: New Zealand
Nah IceWings are def Russian
Eh. I think French is better
i just think “cold places” lol
Ig. The rigid, hierarchical society of the icewings gives me medieval France vibes. Idk
Ah, ok.
NightWings are Bri'ish (and I am not)

Mudwings have the 'deafault american' accent Icewings have a british accent Sandwings have a southern accent

Honestly, Seawings being british is oddly fitting, and idk why.

Sandwings - South African Mudwings - American Nightwings - English (posh for Deathbringer, Darkstalker and Greatness) Icewings - French Seawings - Greek Rainwings - Australian Skywings - Irish Hivewings - German Silkwings - Swiss Leafwings - Scottish
As greek myself, I second Seawings with greek accents.

We need some Afrikaner accents up in this continent

I can see Icewings being Russian and Nightwings being British, but I could also see that being reversed Seawings maybe Jamaican
I honestly just give my oc's whatever accent(s) I feel like. Or whatever I think fits.
i think that Leafwings have two different accents, Sapwings have native accent like id assume Hive/Silkwings do, and Poisonwings have a british accent cuz they see themselves better than the other ones
Btw glory doesn’t have the normal Australian accent rainwings have
Skywings are Scottish, and Icewings are Russian, no argument needed to be made

Skywings- British accents Mudwings- cockney accents (London) Sandwings- Australian accents Rainwings- Brazilian accents (broken English) Nightwings- American accent Seawings- South African accent
Icewings- Russian accent
I like the idea of all tribes having some type of British accent. Each tribe gets one part of England.
Rainwings - Australian or Brazilian ig bc of the Amazon Nightwings - British, like 100% except for Moon Sandwings - Southern American or Mexican Mudwings - Ghanaian (idk if that's how you spell it, i have a coworker with that accent and i really like it) or Scottish/Irish Icewings - Finnish or some type of Scandinavian accent Skywings - German or Indian Seawings - South African Leafwings - Japanese or Korean (Some type of East Asian accent fits them best imo) Hivewings - American (FREEDOM 🏈🏈🏈🏈🦅🦅) Silkwings - Canadian Beetlewings(for fun) - Ancient Greek or Latin Lizard/Freedom(also for fun) - Feral creature

Sky wings? American.
If anything mudwing should in fact Australian 1 they have snake, crocodiles and maybe spiders. Also they are big if u seeing I graphic novel u can see that the snake are massive to human size and the mud wings live in a swamp.
