I hear Russian. As ESO is the only exposure to Elder Scrolls I've ever had, I had thought that was on purpose. Is that not supposed to be what their language is based on?
Friend: This one has a cool joke to tell. Want to hear?
Me: Sure okay.
Friend: What can a frozen band-aid be applied on?
Me: This one don't know. Tell me.
Friend: A cold cut. Get it?? hehehe
Me:.... *activates Grim Focus!*
Friend: No wait! it's a joke! please!
There's a few different accents in-game, likely stemming from the lore fact that Khajiit originally were 16 different tribes. There's gotta be a lot of diverse culture in there so it's easy to identify a few different accents, depending on which voice actor they used.

Only Shazah and Khali speak with a Russian accents, the rest of the Khajiit speak with Indian, Farsi or Arabic accents. Those were more common in previous Elder Scrolls games as well, Oblivion and Skyrim, since the previous ones weren't voiced. Khajiit architecture and certain aspects of their culture hint mostly at India and South-East Asia.

i think it sounds like someone from 50 years ago who never heard a Romany accent was asked to do an exaggerated version of it, based on imitations from bad movies. i actually don't hear any Arabic in there at all. maybe a touch of Farsi in the Rs but no Arabic i can hear. to people who hear Arabic: what aspects of it remind you of that?
