A Funetik Aksent (Phonetic Accent) is dialogue spelled phonetically so that it looks the way the character sounds to someone with another accent. Since accents are one of the major ways of providing characterization, this is an easy shortcut to force the reader to act out the character correctly (admittedly at the cost of confusing those reading outside their language, and slowing those who aren't). Though typically used now to highlight an exaggerated, clichéd and/or hammy character, this trope is famous for its somewhat bad-taste perpetuating of stereotypes in the past, portraying various cultures as less educated/intelligent/literate; a classic example is Gone with the Wind, where the black slaves' and poor whites' accents are given phonetically but the white owners' accent (which is every bit as thick) isn't. Not all examples are bigoted, particularly if race or class-consciousness is a deliberate theme or issue in the work in question, such as George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion. Accents in real life are notoriously used to pigeonhole people, so reproducing a foreign or nonstandard accent may be a way of realistically or critically highlighting this social gap. One of many subtropes under Accent Tropes and Language Tropes. Littering the text with apostrophes is optional. See also Speech Bubbles, for alternative ways of conveying information about the characters' voices, and Psmith Psyndrome, in which characters insist that someone else is using the wrong Funetik Aksent. And to read this article in a Funetik Aksent itself, see here. To some more phonetic-savvy people, the accent might not be phonetic at all. "Funetik", using default phonetic rules, would be pronounced "few-nitt-ick". Not to be confused with Xtreme Kool Letterz, which is about deliberately switching letters to make a word fancy. See also Unintelligible Accent. The Other Wiki refers to Funetik Aksents as "literary dialects." |

In Push by Sapphire, the whole story is like this, but it is implied in the story that she is writing this herself. Precious is illiterate at the beginning, so it makes sense. The story begins with a narrative based on her speaking voice, so she says "I'm going to maff class" or "I ax my muver for money." Her actual writing is shown in later chapters, it just takes time to evolve. | |

Dispatches: If someone isn’t speaking in standard English, author Michael Herr will usually record it. Note the subtle difference between Day Tripper (black) and Mayhew (white): Herr meets a soldier from Texas who says Herr should write a story about him “‘Cause I’m so fuckin’ good, ’n’ that ain’t no shit neither. Got me one hunnert ’n’ fifty se’en gooks kilt. ’N’ fifty caribou.� Karsten Prager was a German reporter who spoke English with a Brooklyn accent. Herr asked him how this happened, and Prager replied “Well, I got dis tuhriffic eah fuh langwidjis.� |

One player on the Champions Online presents all his posts in capital letters and phonetic spelling in the manner of, say, the Hulk as said poster is more or less always acting in character (or presenting said persona). It manages to be both a good example of why it's the trope can be good and bad. It's good because it is certainly very character-forming. It's bad because otherwise intelligent and sensible points can be lost when it takes 15 minutes to translate a short paragraph. | |

X-Men: Gambit's Cajun accent. Rogue's Southern accent. Moira MacTaggert and Rahne Sinclair's "Scottish" accent, and the adjacent Banshee's Irish accent. In one instance, Moira managed to go between "yer", "yuir" and "your" in the space of a page. Cannonball and his family's Kentuckian accent. Generation X had Husk slip into a Kentucky accent when scared or stressed. One particular issue of X-Force reveals that Cannonball actually writes in a phonetic accent. |

"It's Such a Beautiful Day": In order to demonstrate certain aspects of dialect, certain words are misspelled to imply their pronunciation. The teacher says "vee-ick-ulls" to emphasize that "vehicles" is not pronounced with an 'h' sound. Richard tells Dr Sloane about the "aut'm'bile" instead of the "automobile". The dialect is emphasized due to the way the vocalizer supposedly strips character and individuality from the voices of the students as they learn a "mass-average accent and intonation". | |

In Friendship is Dragons, Applejack's player has a country accent to match Applejack's accent in the show. However, when she needs to play Sandbar, a character without an accent, she loses it, causing no end of confusion for Pinkie Pie's player. The joke is taken even further with Twilight's Player being able to figure out who's playing Human!Applejack in the canon guest comic based off of My Little Pony: Equestria Girls simply because she speaks in a country accent. |

Redwall: The mice, otters, etc. tend to speak normally (apart from the random Scottish characters here and there). However, rats have a sort of broken cockney-slash-pirate speak, the shrews seem to lisp, and moles? The mole-speech is almost incomprehensible. Moles speak with accents from The West Country. The Hares have a Verbal Tic modeled after the stereotypical 19th/early 20th century British military officer, ending most sentences with "wot". Somewhat reported in the Italian translation of the book, with the Funetik Aksent being Italian ones complete of dialect words (The Hares speaks like Tuscany peoples and the Moles in south Italy [Naples] accent, all reported on paper). Also their names has been translated to stereotypical names from such places. Most of the vermin don't have a recognisable regional accent, just generic poor grammar with a dash of Talk Like a Pirate, except for two in Salamandastron who are inexplicably Brummie. Princess Kurda and her villainous family in Triss are Horny Vikings types, but have a quasi-Slavic accent that sounds like it's from Ruritania instead, peppered with "Yarr!" Most characters from the Northlands have Scottish accents, except for Rockjaw Grang from The Long Patrol who has a distinctly Yorkshire one. |

The accented English used by the advisers and announcer in Total War: Shogun 2 can come across as this (a noteworthy example being "OUR MEN ARR RANNING FROM ZA BATTELFIELD! SHAMFUR DISPRAY!"), although units themselves speak entirely in Japanese.

Shinji Ikari speaks Japanese just fine in Shinji And Warhammer 40 K; however, he speaks English with an Ork (growly Cockney) accent. Misato comments that unlike most Japanese English-speakers, Shinji could be mistaken for coming from England.... just from very rough parts of England. | |

Blake and Mortimer: "Condouisez ploutôt aoune brouette" ("you'd better drive a wheelbarrow" - without trying to reproduce the phonetic American accent), by an American soldier yelling on a French taxi driver in S.O.S. Meteors. One of Mortimer's first hints that he's in the Bad Future is when he sees the station names written like this. The rebel leader tells him that it was one of the reasons for the civil war. |

In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain uses a variety of written accents, most notably with Jim, who is a slave and has nearly all his dialogue misspelt to reflect his lack of education, common in works depicting African Americans at the time. There's a Note from Ed. at the beginning: | |

The Sound and the Fury is told by an idiot with a Funetik Aksent to match. The novel is split into four parts, the first three with a different character providing a first-person POV. The idiot is one of those three characters (with the others related to him in some way). Then the last part is third-person, sorta. | |

Despite being an avatar of (or perhaps simply being) Hastur in Fate/Gag Order, Mickey Dugan talks exactly as he does in his comics. The commentary for the strip he appears in even has a primer for how to write Mickey's dialogue such as substituting "Your" with "Yer" only to assure the reader that they can do what they like if they try because the Yellow Kid's accent was often written inconsistently anyway. | |

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns has this. Westown residents have a very thick Texas drawl with stereotypical words and phrases thrown about, but some Tsuyukusa residents like Ginjiro also have a milder version as a localization choice. The result is that Westown sounds like Hollywood Texas, but Tsuyukusa sounds like actual Texas. | |

Jane Eyre has the country woman who offers runaway Jane a penny speaking in Yorkshire dialect but you can still understand her. Charlotte Bronte and her brother Branwell wrote dozens of books, short stories and articles as children and teens where they would try to approximate various dialects. Branwell even worked out a special dialect for the toy soldiers on whom the entire huge Glasstown saga was based. | |

Dawn of War gave a hilariously bad phonetic (and otherwise indecipherable) accent to the Chaos Cultists unit. It was so amusing amongst the Warhammer 40K fandom that it led to the creation of the fan-character/meme "Cultist-chan", a cute, bungling girl who uses the same absurd accent, which is of course rendered phonetically in her speech bubbles and "greentext" posts. | |

Harry Potter: Hagrid's West Country accent, to the point of sometimes being unintelligible to Americans. Fleur Delacour's French accent is a case that isn't always consistent. Sometimes, she says "think," and sometimes, she says "theenk."note She'd be more likely to say "sink" or even "dink," since they don't have the "th" sound in French and a lot of French speakers use a softened d to approximate it. The argument could be made that Fleur's accent actually diminishes as the series progresses. Viktor Krum's Bulgarian accentnote really a stereotypical generic "Eastern European" accent - Bulgarians, having mostly been exposed to English directly, as opposed to borrowing Latin alphabet pronunciation rules from another Western European language (Bulgarian pronunciation of foreign words works like writing down the word's (approximate) pronunciation in the original language in Cyrillic and then reading that out loud), don't use Vampire Vords (something that's influenced by German, in which "W" is read as a "V") and approximate th" to a "T/D", not "S/Z" like in the book is used to teach the reader how to pronounce Hermione's name. The Cockney-accented Knight Bus operators Stan Shunpike and Ernie Prang. Professor Quirrell's stutter: "P-P-Potter," stammered Professor Quirrell, grasping Harry's hand, "c-can't t-tell you how p-pleased I am to meet you." In fact, any time a character stutters, it's written out thus. Curiously but thankfully averted for the Scottish inhabitants of Hogsmeade. |

While it's not always obvious in the text, it has sometimes been observed that Kryptonians have a rather noticeable accent. In Supergirl (Rebirth), Kara Danvers has a weird lilt and struggles with contractions ("They do not exist in Kryptonian"), to the point her accent has been mocked by her schoolmates. Ironically, she has previously noted "[Superman's] accent sounds like he learned Kryptonian from a textbook". | |

Discworld: The Nac Mac Feegle are a whole race of tiny Violent Glaswegians who speak in a phonetic Scottish accent. Granny Weatherwax's warning sign for when she's out "borrowing" reads I aten't dead (admittedly that's more because spelling's optional in most parts of the Disc) Igorth lithp, even in wordth where it would be unneceththeththary. And are apparently doing it on purpose. The more modern ones occasionally forget, and will on occasion forgo it when they need to explain something really complicated, like in Making Money. Misspelled words with the correct phonetics is also sometimes used in these when a character is obviously repeating the word from hearing it but not properly learning it, such as Nanny Ogg saying "swarray" in Maskerade, or Granny Weatherwax's "Jograffy." Or, as with Tiffany's vocabulary, if they'd learned the word from a dictionary that didn't include pronuncuations. Trolls, whether because their rock bodies can't finesse the letters or because they're not very intelligent as a rule, are usually depicted with an inability to pronounce "th" sounds, usually replacing them with "d" (e.g. saying "der", "dis" and "dat" instead of "the", "this" and "that".) |

Feersum Endjinn, by Iain M. Banks, has a viewpoint character, Bascule, whose entire sections are written in a funetik aksent. It takes a while to register that the character is actually very intelligent despite this: his sections are essentially a diary, in which he explains that the thought-interpreter he's using doesn't agree with his unusual brain pattern. It doesn't help that the computer pulls out oddities like spelling "have" as "1/2" and the overall inconsistency in the spelling. | |

The oldest example in English comes from The Canterbury Tales, in which Geoffrey Chaucer renders the different regional dialects of Middle English phonetically in a way that clearly differs from the main body of the poem (written in his own London dialect). This is particularly pronounced in "The Reeve's Tale", in which he phonetically renders aspects both of the Reeve's own Norfolk accent (particularly using "ik" for the first-person singular pronoun, as distinguished from Chaucer's London/Southern "ich" and Northern "i") and of the Northern accents of two of the story's central characters (students at Cambridge, who have different vowels and use a lot of strange hard "k"s where Chaucer normally has "ch"s, and do weird things like say "has" instead of "hath" and use "them" instead of "hem"). | |

In A Posse Ad Esse, every time Dolly switches to English, she develops a Scottish accent. In fact, the author has even admitted elsewhere that she writes this accent by running the sentences through "British dialect translator" whoohoo.co.uk. | |

Each of the trolls in Homestuck has a unique typing quirk that apparently mirrors how they actually speak: Kanaya Carefully Enunciates Every Word She Says; tAVROS, uHH, tENDS TO FALTER; Eridan has a kind of wwavvy soundin accent; Vriska tends to 8e really dramaaaaaaaatic; KARKAT IS ALWAYS RAGING AT SOMETHING; 2ollux 2peak2 with a lii2p; and so on. When Sollux got his fangs knocked out by accident, it cured his lisp... and subsequently his typing quirk. | |

Done pretty risibly throughout Dracula. A particularly egregious example is the old Yorkshireman; one edition noted that his use of 'belly-timber' was ridiculously archaic and that nobody would have really said this.

The Order of the Stick: Durkon has a Scots-like accent; this is lampshaded on more than one occasion ("He can pronounce 'stratosphere' but not 'the'?"). At one point he writes a letter in the same manner. When told he didn't have to transcribe his accent, he responds "Transcribe my what now?" One of the prequel books reveals that the OOTS universe has a spell called "Comprehend Inconsistent Accents" specifically for dealing with such characters. It causes a translated speech bubble to appear alongside the character's regular one. |

In Dear Enemy, the sequel to Daddy-Long-Legs, Sallie McBride does this in a few of her letters to her friend Judy. This is actually justified — what she's describing is conversations that the Irish Sallie has with the Scottish Dr. Robin MacRae, in which they both playfully use their ancestral accents. She writes out the dialogue phonetically so Judy (and the reader) can see what she means. | |

One character in a Xanth novel speaks with a lisp; all the "s"s in his speech are replaced with the letter "v", except when he says the word "island" (in which the "s" is silent). One of the other characters asks if it should have been "ivland", to which the lisping character responds, "Whatever for?" Interestingly, when the narrator momentarily changes focus to the lisping character, his speech is normal and the other characters have extra "s"s in their speech, as though they were hissing. | |

Sean Cassidy, also to varying extents. It's shown early on that, as a side effect of his powers, he can shift accents any time he likes. His 'natural' accent at this point in life is a thick mixture of Scottish and Irish Gaelic, but he softens it considerably around most. The author explained that a) he got tired of it, b) it was coming out as a parody and c) the average teenager at Hogwarts wouldn't understand it. | |

Platinum Grit uses phonetic accents for just about every character who isn't Australian, including a talking cupboard from Jamaica, a ridiculously German cafe owner, and a plethora of Scottish characters with accents so authentically thick and indecipherable that fans have actually asked for translations (see above image).

Anthony Burgess plays with this at some length in A Clockwork Orange in which the central protagonist, Alex, speaks a heavily Russian-influenced patois in which individual words are Anglicised ( "horrorshow", meaning "excellent" or "very good", is derived from a Russian word normally transliterated as Hara-sho, for example ) and the whole dialect is generically referred to as "nadsat", a Russian suffix used in forming numbers in the same way you would use "-teen" in English, although Russians don't call teenagers that. Much of the book is written in Nadsat, which flows much better than you might expect. The film tones the dialect down, but keeps some of it. | |

Disney Ducks Comic Universe: In Don Rosa's The Life and Times of Scrooge McDuck, Scrooge's family, Scrooge himself included, speak in Scottish accents. Both Scrooge and his sisters drop their accents after moving to America. Arpin Lusene, the French Gentleman Thief. Complete with a Shout-Out to Monty Python and the Holy Grail (outrageous accent). Most of the American Disney comics featuring José Carioca or Panchito give them phonetic accents even though their accents aren't nearly that thick in the movies they appear in. The most obvious example is the actual adaptation of The Three Caballeros, where the accents are so over the top, that they're toned down in reprintings (eliminating a few jokes making fun of them in the process). |

Traditional African-American spiritual songs when transcribed for Western choirs, while usually not entirely written like this, usually have some of the variations written in to make the rhythms or emphasis 'scan' properly. Sounds very awkward if the rest of the song is sung in a completely different accent. The adaptation for the choir of Porgy and Bess can sound cringeworthy when sung by choirs for the same reason. | |

(Pennoyer and his English friends are written with neutral accents and proper spelling.) Examples include: The Case of Ella McLeod: When Ella gets worked up, her already heavy Scottish accent grows stronger: The Case of the White Snake: Pennoyer interviews several London natives while on the trail of a mysterious young orphan's parentage, noting their "rich and fruity Cockney accent": The Case of the Young Man with the Scar: Played Straight and Discussed with Francine's cultured French-Canadian accent and Jacques' thick French-Canadian drawl: In Francine's case: And Jacques: The Case of the Leannabh Sidhe: Patrick's Irish nurse Kathleen is described with a "soft brogue": |

Trainspotting (and everything else by Irvine Welsh) uses this trope so extensively it take most people several chapters before they can fully understand anything. The extensive use of Scottish slang also complicates matters. While there are a few chapters narrated in standard English (from a third-person omniscient perspective), most are from a various first person points of view and written in that character's particular brand of thick Edinburgh Scottish. | |

A Boy, a Girl and a Dog: The Leithian Script: As a The Silmarillion fanfic, each tribe of Men and Elves have their own slang, ranging from the Valinorean Noldor's arcaic speech to the informal language used by human tribes. Differences between and within languages are often remarked, discussed (and sometimes mocked by some unpleasant characters): | |

Gunnerkrigg Court renders some characters' accents this way: Surma's Yorkshire accent, Zimmy's (presumably) Birmingham accent, and Red's completely fictional accent. On the other hand, the main characters avert this: Antimony has a slight Yorkshire accent and Kat has a slight Scottish accent, but we only know this because Word of God says so. If you look closely at this strip you'll notice Red says "a what-er-what-iday" — if you've ever talked to a Scot, they have a hitch in their voice turning holiday to hool-iday. A British person would generally say 'holiDay' with emphasis on the "day" part. | |

The Simpsons: In the Radioactive Man comics, Dr. Crab is supposed to be a hideously mutated Russian, but his accent looks like a wild mixture of Russian and German sounds. This is finally explained in Radioactive Man's last adventure, where it's revealed that the Germans had forced the (communist) Crab to conduct experiments for them during the Nazi era. | |

Star Trek: Jumps in and out for Scotty, depending on the author. Sometimes his accent is spelled phonetically, other times its presence is just noted in the prose. The same goes for Chekov. (William Shatner in particular favors "vw" for Chekov's 'nuclear wessels' accent, which is somewhat difficult to read.) | |

Tape from Paper Mario: The Origami King speaks like a stereotypical Italian-American gangster, and it has an exaggerated Italian-American accent to match.

In the Chalet School books by Elinor M Brent-Dyer, a lot of working-class British characters talk like this. In the earlier books, Biddy O'Ryan talks like this as well, in a 'rich creamy Kerry brogue' ('sleep' is written as 'slape', 'never' is written as 'niver' and so on), much to the annoyance of Irish readers, and the McDonald sisters in Highland Twins talk in a phonetically rendered Highland accent which, frankly, makes their dialogue hard to read. This was cut in the abridged version. | |

In Phil and Kaja Foglio's Girl Genius, the Jägermonsters (monstrous-looking soldiers transformed by Mad Science) have silly "Germanic"-sounding phonetic accents. Even more bizarre given that, although the comic itself is written in English, the main characters are actually speaking in German and Romanian (as confirmed by the Foglios on the Yahoo Group fanforum) and the only British character speaks without any phonetical accent. Amusingly enough, the Jägers actually write in their Aksent, as is seen with Gil's ''Schmott Guy'' hat and Mama Gkika's ''Dollink''. Their onomatopoeia is even rendered in the same accent (Klep! Klep! Klep!). When the first Heterodyne, whose descendants created the Jägers, is temporarily brought to the future he speaks in a similar but even thicker accent. The novelization refers to the Jägers' accents as their "original Mechanicsburg accent" and notes that voice-activated clanks (and sometimes kitchen appliances) have a tendency to open fire on conversing with them. |

Superman: While it's not always obvious in the text, it has sometimes been observed that Kryptonians have a rather noticeable accent. In Supergirl (Rebirth), Kara Danvers has a weird lilt and struggles with contractions ("They do not exist in Kryptonian"), to the point her accent has been mocked by her schoolmates. Ironically, she has previously noted "[Superman's] accent sounds like he learned Kryptonian from a textbook". Superboy 1949: In #161 "The Strange Death of Superboy", Clark Kent meets Austrian brain surgeon Franz Haller, who has an almost indecipherable German accent. |

In American Splendor, Harvey Pekar gives a Funetik Aksent to almost every character. Unlike most of the examples here, he doesn't have characters who speak "proper" English, so it doesn't leave an impression of lingual esual brain pattern. It doesn't help that the computer pulls out oddities like spelling "have" as "1/2" and the overall inconsistency in the spelling. | |

Raised by Jägers: As a Girl Genius fic, all the Jaegers have very thick accents. While it's not obvious in the text, living in Mechanicsburg and spending all her time around Jaegers has given Agatha a rather noticeable accent compared to canon. It's especially noticeable when she's mad, and yells "Hoy!" to get someone's attention. She also uses Mamma Gkika's "what the dumboozle" once. | |

Devils in Kill Six Billion Demons do this quite a bit. Although they're not bound by any particular Earth accent, Cio's emulates several quirks of the Yorkshire accent including dropping "the" from her speech and using "thee" and "tha" (with a fair bit of Scottish terms added), while Oscar approaches something akin to cockney or London east-end. When speaking amongst themselves, devils speak in what can best be described as "Extra British Nadsat". Angels, by comparison, seem to speak with no accent at all. | |

The works of Zora Neal Hurston, most notably Their Eyes Were Watching God, frequently feature speech written in a thick, southern, African-American dialect (especially that spoken by Nanny) that received mixed reactions from African-American critics.

Them's Fightin' Herds: Certain characters have their respective accents written out this way in the text dialogue for Story Mode and the original Book of Lore. Arizona is written with a Southern twang, along with all the other Cattlekind, which leads to a lot of truncated words like "champ'een." Velvet is written speaking Sexy Scandinavian, resulting in a lot of "ze's" in the place of "the," among other things. Oddly enough, she's the only Reindeer with a speaking role who has this accent. Pom is written with a Scottish accent, with words like "tae" written instead of "to". |

To Kill a Mockingbird has some differences in pronunciation and word use to show not only characters' race and social class, but also the gap between children and adults — some speech patterns were okay for kids of Scout and Jem's background but would have to be dropped as they grew up — and what was appropriate in different situations. In one scene Scout and Jem go to Calpurnia's church with her and, on the way home, ask why she talked to the other black churchgoers in their own dialect when she "knows better." Calpurnia gives them a brief explanation of what we now call code-switching. Probably legions of readers who had no idea about this were made aware of its existence (and their own participation in it) by this book. | |

The Coen Brothers write all of their scripts in this manner, which makes things considerably easier for the actors to imagine how their dialogue sounds. For example, in Hail, Caesar!, a British director coaches his star with the line "Would that it were so simple." In the script, the line is written: "Would that ih-twuuuuuuuuh so simple." | |

When it comes to Star Trek: The Original Series fanfics (including the alternate timeline movies), it's rare to find an author who doesn't write Chekov's Russian accent in to some degree. Scotty gets this treatment on a fairly regular basis too. McCoy is less common, but not unheard of. | |

Richard Adams's Watership Down: Anytime a human speaks in the book, it's rendered in a phonetic rural Hampshire accent (the only exception is the doctor, presumably because he's educated or not local). Kehaar the seagull is written with a very thick accent as well (combined with You No Take Candle), explained that as a bird he cannot properly speak the rabbits' language but can say enough to be somewhat understandable. It's meant to sound Scandinavian, as Adams based Kehaar off a Norwegian he had befriended earlier in his life. |

Almost all the characters in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath speak in some variant of a rural-American accent: the Joads' eldest daughter's name is given as "Rose of Sharon" in narrative, but always rendered as "Rosasharn" when spoken.

In the Modesty Blaise novels, Willie Garvin's Cockney accent is rendered with occasional phonetic touches like dropped aitches, but not a full attempt to depict the accent. When Dinah mimics his accent in A Taste for Death, it does get a full on funetik aksent ("thousand" spelled as "thahsend", etc.), either to show that she's overdoing it or perhaps to let the reader know that this is what Willie really 'sounds' like. | |

Most of the American Disney comics featuring José Carioca or Panchito give them phonetic accents even though their accents aren't nearly that thick in the movies they appear in. The most obvious example is the actual adaptation of The Three Caballeros, where the accents are so over the top, that they're toned down in reprintings (eliminating a few jokes making fun of them in the process). | |

Preacher uses this rather sparingly, considering how many accents get bandied about. Most Texans get away with a dropped letter here and there, such as "an'" instead of "and," and Cassidy's Irish accent mostly comes out only in his catchphrase "Jaysis!" People occasionally mention that Starr has a German accent, but not a trace of it is evident in the spelling of his speech. The biggest example of the trope is the facially-maimed Arseface, whose speech is so garbled by his handicap that he's often given a translation. | |

S. M. Stirling does this frequently. In the Domination series, parsing Draka speech patterns (a sort of mutated 18th-century American Southern, influenced by Afrikaans and filled with loanwords from languages of the peoples they've enslaved over the centuries) takes some getting used to. In one of the books, a character describes the accent as "a German trying to sound like Scarlet O'Hara." | |

John Buchan in his Richard Hannay novels, beginning with The Thirty-Nine Steps, depicts Scottish accents phonetically, and with sufficient faithfulness that several different accents can be distinguished between the various characters Hannay meets on his Scottish adventure in Mr. Standfast. Lampshaded and averted with Jack Godstow in The Island of Sheep; Hannay-the-narrator says he's not going to attempt to represent Jack's Cotswold accent, and paraphrases everything he says instead of reporting it as direct speech. | |

In The Bard's Tale, the Bard encounters a man named MacRath with a nigh indecipherable Scottish accent, in a game already filled with characters that have fairly thick regional British accents. MacRath's subtitles retain the phonetic spelling of his words, while everyone else's are spelled out properly. | |

"I Just Make Them Up, See!": This poem is written with a few of the words spelled the way they would sound if you read them aloud rather than using proper English, such as "feel o'" rather than "feeling of" or "go 'way" instead of "go away". The accent is included to help the reader know how to follow the rhythm and rhyme. | |

Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000: The speech of Orcs and Orks are spelled to indicate a Cockney-like accent, representing their conceptual roots in British soccer hooligans. The names of their troops are misspelled partly due to this trope and partly due to Stylistic Suck: Boyz, Deffkoptas, Meks, etc. Dawn of War gave a hilariously bad phonetic (and otherwise indecipherable) accent to the Chaos Cultists unit. It was so amusing amongst the Warhammer 40K fandom that it led to the creation of the fan-character/meme "Cultist-chan", a cute, bungling girl who uses the same absurd accent, which is of course rendered phonetically in her speech bubbles and "greentext" posts. |

Novelists often use a Funetik Aksent to indicate something about character. Thomas Hardy does this in Jude the Obscure, and for most readers it backfires. He lets us know that Richard Phillotson really doesn’t understand his wife Sue Bridehead (and by silent contrast shows her cousin Jude’s closeness to her) by having Phillotson mispronounce her name as “Soo� (book iv, ch. 3). This doesn’t work for all those readers who normally pronounce that name thus. | |

In Voyages of the Wild Sea Horse, Adventurer Archaeologist Penelope laFloo hails from Frauce, a French-themed kingdom in the East Blue, and is commented to have an extremely thick "French" accent. The text attempts to convey this by applying various inflections taken from online French pronunciation guides — dropping the letter g from word endings, spelling "the" and "this" as "ze" and "zis", dropping the letter h when it starts a word, and so forth. | |

Any American novel that involves soldiers from the UK and a Lieutenant. Whenever one of the British say that officer's rank, it's always 'Leftenant'. Tom Clancy is extremely fond of this, and Call of Duty had Price say this once (subtitles say 'Leftenant'). The Goon Show had an American character called "Lootenant Hern-Hern"; he may have appeared in just one episode, but it was printed. Evelyn Waugh's Sword of Honour trilogy contains an American character, Lt Padfield, who is usually referred to as "The Loot," referring to the different pronunciation of "lieutenant" in American English. |

Child of the Storm: Hagrid, naturally, as in canon. Baron Zemo, to a varying extents, which deliberately noted. Apparently its appearance depends on his mood and whether he wants to suppress his accent or not. Sean Cassidy, also to varying extents. It's shown early on that, as a side effect of his powers, he can shift accents any time he likes. His 'natural' accent at this point in life is a thick mixture of Scottish and Irish Gaelic, but he softens it considerably around most. The author explained that a) he got tired of it, b) it was coming out as a parody and c) the average teenager at Hogwarts wouldn't understand it. |

Codename: Kids Next Door: The numeric Code Names used by members of the KND are officially spelled "Numbuh [x]", reflecting the more lax pronunciation of the "-er" suffix one might expect from a child. Invoked in the episode "Operation: C.H.O.C.O.L.A.T.E.". The villain of the episode, who happens to speak with a heavy German accent, writes it out phonetically in a menacing note. |

Mazekeen of The Sandman (1989) and the Lucifer comics doesn't so much have an accent as she only has half a face. Nonetheless, Neil Gaiman wrote all her dialogue by transcribing what he thought he sounded like when he tried to talk with only one side of his mouth, resulting in fully funetikally-rendered lines. | |

From MARZENA: „Vat bedoolt yay fünetik aksent?! Ik spreak me very hroot Englisch!� A great many characters of the story are not native English speakers, so you get some small mishaps every once in a while. Most prominent examples are Livia and the TAR Kernel. Also note the usage of quotation marks where the author makes use of French, Dutch and German quotation marks to denote accent tags (although French Quotation marks can also denote Russian accent tag).I | |

In Grand Theft Auto IV, Little Jacob speaks Rastafarian English and Real Badman uses Jamaican Patois. They're nearly unintelligible despite technically speaking the same language. Their dialogue is rendered phonetically in the subtitles too, rendering them almost useless for deciphering them. Niko Bellic (who is Serbian and hasn't been in Liberty City for long) understands so little of Badman's Patois that Jacob has to provide a translation. | |

In The Baroque Cycle: Rufus MacIan, a Scottish nobleman whose accent is as impenetrable to English-speaking readers as it is to to the English-speaking characters who talk with him. An extremely polite character is eventually forced, against all propriety, to bluntly tell him that he's not technically speaking English and needs to make himself more clear. Author Neal Stephenson impishly assures readers in his afterword that his Scottish ancestors are surely rolling over in their graves due to his intentionally cartoonish use of the trope. Certain German and Irish characters will also have written accents, but only when they are speaking English; at all other times the Translation Convention is in effect. |

Vaska Denisov in War and Peace is said to swallow his R's when talking, which the translators decided to replicate by putting "gh" in front of any R's in any words he says. It takes some getting used to. The Ann Dunnigan translation either omits the R's or turns them into W's, which makes poor Denisov sound like he has a speech impediment. | |

All griphons also have them (Gratuitous German), and unlike Applejack's accent, they're actually constantly applied throughout the story.

In TDWT Reducks Redux and Love Ain't Easy, It's Ezzy (both Total Drama fanfics by The Kobold Necromancer), Ezekiel's thick Canadian accent is written phonetically. This is very noticeable, as Ezekiel is the author's favorite character and gets a lot of focus in both fics. Furthermore, since The Kobold Necromancer is a Fandom VIP in the Total Drama fandom, a lot of fans began to follow Kobold's example and write Ezekiel's accent phonetically in their own fan works. | |

Avoided, with two exceptions, in the Village Tales series. The justified exceptions are Irish-born former England cricketer Brian "The Breener" Maguire, who makes his living now doing his "Plastic Paddy" turn on TMS and the lecture circuit (and with blatant self-parody); and local publican Mr Kellow down the Blue Boar, who has been playing up to the expectations of trippers and tourists for so long he's no longer capable of not sounding like a Wurzel. Other characters with regional accents are shown as such through grammatical construction and word choice. | |
