The Khajiit vocabulary and speech patterns can sometimes be divisive, but I quite like their use of 'yes' and 'no' at the end of sentences. To me, it simply reads as if they are posing a question or asking for an opinion, though I don't know why or how this came about - maybe borrowed from other languages? I like the fact that the Khajiit dialect is quite different from other races. Maybe it would be less apparent if you were playing the French version of the game - n'est-ce pas is used formally in that language.What annoys me a little in Khajiiti speech is their "yes" they add so willingly at the end of sentences, since it annoys me also when people do it in real life and it's so popular lately
That said, I completely get your point about the more recent informal use of 'yeah', 'nah' on the end of sentences! It's certainly popular, and over-used in some instances, but I don't think it is anything new. But.. i'm straying off-topic, so i'll shut up.

Avidspark✭✭✭✭How weird...I asked this very question in guildchat the other day...the consensus was they are all members of the Khajit Group of Burglars (KGB), and the accent was a side effect thereof.'Build a man a fire, and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire, and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.'

✭✭✭✭✭To me, it sounds like some made-up accent.

Mythfit22Soul ShrivenA previous poster said Khajiiti accents are based on Romani (Gypsys) which spread all over Eastern Europe and into the Middle East. This made a lot of sense to me because us old folks have heard this accent before. I'll give you a hint, look up the old TV sitcom called Green Acres. Bam, Khajiiti accent! (btw the Gabors were Hungarian).0
