Cualand English has three main accents: broad, general and cultivated. Broad Cualand accents have phonemic /x/ as well as lots of Eevo words, like ''eell'' /eɪx/ "love", ''nwtxáh llys'' /nuˈtʃɑxəs/ "hello", ''cain'' /kaɪn/ "food". Even Cualand itself is often referred to simply as ''a Luav''. Eevo words are mostly spelled exactly as in the original. | Cualand English has three main accents: broad, general and cultivated.

Words from other Trician languages may appear in Broad Cualand English, like ''Pda'' from Windermere ( ~ ''fundi'' in South African English), and ''quetty'' "cool, remarkable" from Clofabosin. Palkhan influence is especially strong in slang words where the prefix l- pronounced /lə-/ is added, this comes from the Palkhan construct state ḷ- and is even added to Eevo words: lvønd "news" (sometimes phrased as a question: lvønd? "what's new?"); lmøli "thanks". | Words from other Trician languages may appear in Broad Cualand English, like ''Pda'' from Windermere ( ~ ''fundi'' in South African English), and ''quetty'' "cool, remarkable" from Clofabosin.
