Talk:Coruscanti

Accent. There is no such thing as a "british accent". There are accents that originate from Britain. The Coruscanti accent is an English accent.
- What kind of English accent, though? Received Pronunciation? Estuary? God forbid, North Yorkshire? Does it vary across the planet? (It almost certainly does, but, hey, it's worth asking.) Maybe we could get some IPA transcriptions--would a New Essential Guide to Languages be too much to ask? We linguist-nerds should have equal representation, here!--Guy Ruffian 17:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
- According to Wikipedia, it's Received Pronunciation. This is the most likely choice, I would think...but there's no confirmation for that. If we can find an interview with Ewan McGregor or somebody else who spoke in a Coruscanti accent which he states he's speaking RP, then we'd be set. —Mirlen 16:22, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
Article's sources unclear
Edit
The article is talking about two different things: the adjective to describe, for lack of a better word, "nationality", and an adjective to describe an accent. The article's sources are therefore muddy. The article should somehow make clear where is it said that a) "Courscanti" means "a person from Coruscant; b) that Coruscanti=English accent; and c) that Obi-Wan speaks in a Coruscanti dialect? One might think it would be better to divorce the two meanings into different articles, or to use proper footnote sourcing, in order to give readers a better idea of where each concept is referenced in canon.
