Tuesday, December 17, 2013

- OVERVIEW -

Edward's dialect is based on common and proper British English (with a British accent), femininity and some French and Italian for a cultural sense, since he's had a lot of linguistic studies (particularly musical terms and history). He speaks less like a noble than some of the upper class, at times.
