So Solid Crew Urak-hai and generally other bad accents>>

[Frodo Baggins]

Silver-Shod Muse, The Rohirrim are based on the Anglo-Saxons, who spoke Old English. Rohirric is almost identical to Old English. some of their f's that are beween vowels or after vowles are pronounced as v's but w's are pronounced as w's. And no that also means they wouln't have scandinavian accents.<P> Just be glad they pronounced Theoden correctly in the movie, PJ consistently pronounced it wrong.<P> Now what's wrong with working-class speech? Do you actually expect SAM to speak proper common tongue? Especially whe it notes in LOTR that hobbits in general usually didn't pay too much attention to the finer details of grammar. Besides, it's kind of sweet.<P>Now, I know I have said it a thousand times but I'm going to say it again. The worst thing was Cate Blanchett's heinous mispronunciation of Earendil. It specifically states in LOTR and The Sil that Ea is pronounced as TWO syllables. Thus, Earendil would be pronounced Ee-ar-en-dil. But no, Cate has to pronounce it as Ear-in-dil so it sounds more like Elendil than Earendil. Its not the star of Elendil.
