Re: Medival and Deep South accents

I just thought of something else.
If the character is a foreigner or has a speech impediment and the other characters can't understand him, you could probably get away with more.
Some books I've read have six characters each with a unique Britsh accent: Scotland, London, Wales, York. For one, in some cases, I can't really appreciate the differences. Secondly, if there is two pages of nothing but dialog, I get lost. So how many accents and if every character does a monologue comes into play.
Good luck on the midieval accent. I wish I had something for you.
