The title say's it all. In one of the next chapters in a project I'm
working on I want to have someone with an Osaka accent in the fic for a
few lines. But the big problem is I have no idea how to use this accent in
English.


Hmm..tough one.  What I'd probably do is mirror what I saw on a rather silly
girls-with-mecha show called Battleskipper.

In that, the mecha had Osaka accents, so when they dubbed it they gave them
Bronx accents.

"I dunno, honey, ya shoire ya know wha'cha doing?"

Anyone else know of a better way?

I have some idea's from the Rayearth I have (Caldina) but I could use a
bit more help and some more ideas on how to handle it.


How do they do it in Rayearth?  I'm looking over my fansubs now, but I don't
see it.
