Saruman;

Gandalf to Gimli "And how would you know that? he could like me to you should it suit his purpose his voice(At this point I'm paraphrasing) has a deep magic and power in it.

Power, yes.

Accents, not necessarily.

...And I don't. Sorry; if it's there that's not the one I had in mind.

Didn't Strider mimic the accent of Bree-landers with some acclaim?

Yes, he did, but that's not who I had in mind--although it might lead you along the right track. I'm looking for a statement that's even more explicit than Frodo's observing that Strider's speech has changed.

If people don't get the person I'm thinking of in a few days I'll yield the floor as that does techinically answer my original question (thus meaning I didn't phrase it specifically enough).

Or I can give more hints.

Gandalf, perhaps? He knows a lot of languages and could possibly be able to use the language's different accents, too. I'm thinking particularly of the time when he and the Three Hunters show up at the gates of Edoras, and one of the guards addresses them in the Rohanian tongue.
