Native voice lines for Pharah

Speaking from personal experience here Native Languages are really hard to learn. Partly because of the surprisingly little good writing we have on specific languages (some are better documented than others) and partly because the sound placement was often very different than it is for English speakers.

True but she doesn’t need to speak the language entirely. Just like 1-3 for the game.

Might be nice but I don’t think her voice actress can speak the language, and for those who can speak it well hearing someone who doesn’t know how to speak it properly might make it sound cringy/ unrealistic

Though they may be able to hire someone fluent in the language who sounds similar? Idk it would be cool

I don’t think the accent is as important as showing it. Kind of like Lucio for Brazilian or Ashe with that… “Country” sound.

Accent matters like …Chinese where the accent changes the meaning. But it can be managed for her shorter lines and such…
‘get back’
‘fly high’
Etc

This made me LOL for a legit three mins. Thanks for that, seriously. Best post of the day. <3

But yeah, they probably want to leave it vague so multiple groups can feel included. I don’t really care either way, though. I personally hate foreign language voicelines, but totally understand some people like them. So /shrug.
