Dialects in English correspond to different in-universe accents in the movies. Ewan McGregors and Ian McDiarmids faint upper-class Scottish accents are, for example, Coruscanti accents in the movies. As a general rule, Imperial characters speak with RP-like British accents while Rebels usually have American accents. However, it would seem that this is perhaps a representation of social class, as stormtroopers and other low-ranking Imperials are heard to speak with American accents, while some Rebels speak with British accents (Mon Mothma, for instance). Other accents are also heard, such as: Mexican (Hondo Ohnaka, Diago Hixan) Spanish (Zygerrian Slave Empire) British (Dengar) and (Mon Mothma) Belgian (Vaarko Tiyai, Nok Drayen, Arek Drayen III) Congolese (Xivhkalrainik, Yudrass) Jamaican (Kit Fisto, Dunari) Irish (Emon Azzameen, Fenn Shysa, an unnamed Czerka officer outside Anchorhead in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, Lurmen) Scottish (Whorm Loathsom, Darth Sion, Jeelg and Shoan Kilian) Italian (Bannamu, Watto and Mee Deechi) German (Nuvo Vindi) Japanese (Neimoidian) and (Mee Deechi) Kenyan (Senator Brittoni) New York/Brooklyn (the Chiss bartender Baldarek in Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast) Australian (The Serrocoans, as well as some Mandalorians in Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords) New Zealander/Maori (The Fett family and clone troopers) French (certain Twileks, such as Aayla Secura and Orn Free Taa) Russian (General Grevious, Juhani and Even Piell). Swedish (Shmi Skywalker Lars. Actress Pernilla August is Swedish) South African (Pantorans, such as Riyo Chuchi) Indian (Zabraks, such as Eeth Koth and Sugi), also Queen Talia, Queen Apilana Welsh (Bryn, Sith, Chiss)
