Dialect notes
Another note for myself, but this is a list of all the speech patterns for most of the characters. Note for myself because I always forget how each person speaks.
All the rulers, Zidah, Enrico, Flarka, Teriana, Yana, Lieries: "Her ideas and thoughts are foolish, she is prone to delusions of grandeur, and her speaking and people skills are quite poor. But with a bit of help and support, I think she can be changed for the better, don't you agree?"
Aerin, Jeyer, Selena: "Her ideas an' thoughts are foolish, she's prone to delusions of grandeur, an' her speakin' an' people skills are poor. But with a bit of help an' support, I think she can be changed for the better, don't you agree?"
Lissa, Aidia, Raziel, Neira: "Her ideas an' thoughts are foolish, she's prone t' delusions of grandeur, an' her speakin' an' people skills are quite poor. But with a bit of help an' support, I think she can be changed for the better, don't y' agree?"
Nokane, Alek, Marcus: "Her ideas an' thoughts are foolish, she's prone t' delusions of grandeur, an' her speakin' an' people skills are quite poor. But with a bit of help an' support, ah think she can be changed fer the better, don't y' agree?"
Essani, Deneb, Erik: "'Er ideas an' thoughts are foolish, she's prone t' delusions of grandeur, an' 'er speakin' an' people skills are quite poor. But with a bit of help an' support, ah think she kin be changed fer the better, don't y' agree?"
If you look at it, there dialects are almost split by class level and education. At the top are the rulers along with people who work closely with the rulers (the three servants) or the children of the rulers (Zidah, Enrico, Teriana).
At the second level, you have people who were part of the upper class, but their time in the military has made their speech a little lax.
At the third level, you have Aidia, who has spent most of her time in the military, Lissa, who is a servant, and RAziel, another person who has spent most of his time in the military. The three of them have some education, but they're around people who speak casually.
At the fourth level, you have two commanders and a farmer. They aren't as well educated, but they're far from stupid. Their speech is just a little rougher around the edges, though it's understandable for Alek and Nokane. When you're shouting orders over the battlefield, as long as people can understand your orders and you can get them out quickly, no one will care how you sound.
At the last level, you have a group of thieves. No education at all.
There'll probably some changes as I go along and at times, characters will change the way they speak depending on the situation. Consider this a rough outline.
