So which character is Welsh? :think:
People think "queue" is just "q" followed by 4 silent letters.

But those letters are not silent.

They're just waiting their turn.

This is only a hunch.... but I'm guessing it's the one with the Welsh accent. :ask:

That's not a Welsh accent. I could understand what he was saying.

Most Welsh accents are very easy to understand. I've heard a couple really old people that are from I don't know where that were hard to understand, but otherwise...definitely easier than your average scottish or irish accent :dunno:

"We're staying true to the Japanese version, even with regional accents," explains the studio's president, Akihiro Hino. "In the original, Drippy has a heavy Osaka accent, but in the international version it's Welsh. We have a localisation director who is very particular with all the minor details."

In Japan, the Osaka accent has the same, often comedic, yokel connotations as a southern American drawl. We're not sure what Welsh players are going to make of Drippy, then, but it's certainly amusing to hear him exclaim "Ruddy Nora!" when he and Oliver are in danger.
I guess they chose the Welsh accent because it sounded most 'yokel' :hehe:
