I know all the playable races have their own accents but is there any where a German accent would make sense for role-play purposes?

Hans’gar and Franzok use German accent (Austrian really, for the references), so you could make up a tribe of mag’har that use it.

My Dad was German, I adore the accent; it reminds me of home and love and protection.
But geez was it scary when he shouted!

As a Blood Elf, I prefer to have a Bostonian accent, like… Boston Massachusetts, like Scout from TF2.
I think humans may have a Germanic accent as common when read through a Horde perspective seems like German. I mean, “Goibon uden lo” meaning “Guards help me!” sounds Germanic in pronunciation.

Why do you say forsaken
Well, you have an amazing way of speaking normally and the rest of the world just sounds wrong. (Actually that’s not totally true either, I am a huge fan of many accents from all over world.)

Perhaps a clan of Vrykul.
Forsaken are sort of english or victorian english, but I know what you mean and man that’s kind of bad taste.

The first time that I learned a little about German I laughed a lot because of the Dwarfs, they speak German in age of mythology.

I’m assuming it’s a joke based off of Dr. Richtofen who created zombies in Call of Duty for a certain dictatorship that I’m not allowed to mention on the forums because they won’t let me use the name.

I mix a little German in with the Russian in particularly-thickly-accented Draenei…
Could see some humans/undead having one…just say they’re from a little village in some out-of-the-way locale…

I think of Dwarves as having a scottish brogue/accent.
Goblins as NY’ers, VE’s from Britain for some odd reason (the void must be from the UK originally) BE’s from the South and some from Boston as someone already said.
Spacegoats = Russian
Humans = German/Austrian but can also have other accents throughout the world.
Tauren would be funny with a Jamaican accent.
