    Spending three expansions in Stormwind can do that to a character I guess haha

    Happens all the time. That Jersey Shore show did a number on us with all that, even though the majority of the cast was from NY.

    Exactly. Also cockney is not an accent, it's slang. Spoken by working class people in east London, cenetered around the West Ham area. Its a regular east London working class accent, what makes cockney special is that you would substitute some words, with other words that rhymed with it, but in no other way related to it. Like, Apples and pears = up stairs, birds-nest = chest. The harder ones don't necessarily rhyme directly either, like Len = button. The supposed rhyming word would be Hutton, after a car racer from the 60's, Len Hutton. So the rhyming is not always direct, making it difficult to learn.
    Very few people actually speak cockney anymore.

    Arabic, generally Middle-East much more than East Europe. Which generally fits their theme of djinni.

    Dont forget, they also surrendered to the legion immediately after being attacked.
