Hornblower but I make him talk like this
#yeah yeah this is a rural/working class accent and he's a middle class doctor's son i know#at least it could explain the rhotic slip-ups committed by ioan gruffudd in the show#(which are my beloved btw <3 choosing to consider them conscientious objection to the most english guy to ever english)#(i know that's absolutely not what they were but listen. radical linguistic praxis makes it bearable okay)#anyways i'm sure that hornblower has *some* kentish features in his speech#they're all so mean to him about being the son of a country doctor he has to show a slight phonological coloring in some situations#but also for legal reasons this is entirely a joke#i do think it's a pretty dialect though! i like the way it sounds when i try to read the scrunkly pre-ipa here#perce rambles#adventures in historical sociolinguistics#<- making this a new tag because i feel like it's its own rabbit hole#percy yells at cecil scott
