	: Yes, it's not clear to me what the heck Baltar's Aerelon accent was. It didn't sound particularly Irish to me, but I'm a Canadian, so my understanding of Irish/British accents is not great. On a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerelon Wikipedia article on the Twelve Colonies], someone claimed it was a Yorkshire accent. That sounds at least plausible to me.		: Yes, it's not clear to me what the heck Baltar's Aerelon accent was.

	: It would make some sense if the Aerelon dialect were Irish. Both places have a history of repression by larger powers. Plus, Michael Hogan's Northern/Eastern Ontario accent has traces of Irish influence, and since [[Saul Tigh]] is most recently from Caprica but originally from Aerelon, you could rationalize his accent as being Caprican with Aerelon influences. I wonder, if actor's accents are consistently used to represent in-story linguistic differences, what will we see when ''Galactica'' finally meets the Thirteenth Tribe? A few thousand years is a lot of time for linguistic innovation. Will they be speaking Swedish or Saskrit or something? --[[User:Saforrest\|Saforrest]] 21:32, 13 March 2007 (CDT)		: It would make some sense if the Aerelon dialect were Irish.

	::Of course it's pretty ridiculous to ascribe a single accent to an entire planet. In reality, countries don't have a single accent to begin with, and even regions in one country can have different accents and dialects. -- [[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 18:04, 25 March 2008 (CDT)		::Of course it's pretty ridiculous to ascribe a single accent to an entire planet.

	::As opposed to how most of the Human race in BSG have an American accent? ;) Yes, I agree we're clutching at straws here - but do you know that the Aerelon colony covers an entire planet, or is it the size of Jamaica?

			::::There is certainly a "standard" American accent you'll hear on most mainstream television shows, but you'll be able to find distinct regional accents there too. Just as there is no British accent as such. Many people think that's the stereotypical received pronunciation, but hardly anyone talks like that. So while the show identifies an accent for Aerelon, that might be a stereotype too and we shouldn't expect everyone there to speak like that. -- [[User:Serenity\|Serenity]] 18:58, 25 March 2008 (CDT)
