Good afternoon! Sorry to bother you. Unfortunately, I have to use Google Translate to write this message. May I ask a question?
Do you know why Sir Pentious pronounces the letter R like that? Explain to me, please.
Thank you in advance!
Hi! Don't worry I'm happy to answer you! :D
Plus it's an interesting question! Because I only noticed that he's pronouncing a long Ssss, like a snake 🐍 So I didn't know the answer and decided to look into this!
I added images from Hazbin Hotel Wikipedia with used information, and added image description so you can use it to translate the text <3
What we know for sure is that Sir Pentious died in London, so it possibly makes him British, and honestly he sounds like one too)
There are almost 40 different accents in Britain, but the most well-known is Received Pronunciation (RP), which is classed as the "standard" British accent.
And Hazbin Hotel Wikipedia says that he's speaking in a goofy quasi*-RP
* Quasi means - almost or not completely
So it's a goofy and not completely standard British accent) + slight Staffordshire tones
I'm not sure if it's a fan theory though, or a canon fact, but it would be interesting if it's true because it adds more depth to the character :D
So basically I'm just saying that his British, and they like to say R in a weird way or don't say it at all, so it's probably it)
I hope I answered your question, but if you still have more I'll try to find more information!
I just wanted to make a color palette of the most used colors in my art for the past few years (I was just curious), but I started to add more and more and now it looks like 8 little bugs :D
