The ''Eetøøm'' accent (''eetøøm'', lit. 'common mold', is an older word for 'standard') is an obsolete accent. It was similar to the Transatlantic accent, in that it was an artificial compromise between Fyxoomian and Skellan standard accents. It is the closest thing to a "posh" accent in the Skellan-speaking world; it was largely codified by one man, Llyméer Saiñ, as a standard for "international eloquent Skellan" and was learnt by upper-class people and actors in Fyxoom and Skella, but fell out of use in the Populist era. Today it survives in classical singing and for elevated sci-fi, historical fiction or fantasy characters in fiction such as gods, kings or superintelligent beings. | The ''Eetøøm'' accent (''eetøøm'', lit.
