====Standard Sgewla==== | ====Standard Sgewla==== | ||
The so-called Standard Sgewla accent is the most well-known of the non-lambdic accents. Standard Sgewlan Eevo is based on the middle and upper middle class accent of the capital Alcve after the industrial revolution. It is characterized by having a vowel length distinction instead of nasal vowels. Though non-Sgewlans often fetishize the accent, Sgewlans view it as extremely posh and use it almost exclusively in formal speeches, theater, and classical singing. | The so-called Standard Sgewla accent is the most well-known of the non-lambdic accents.
