I wonder if the term 'tribal accent' used for nomads is the most appropriate choice of words. There are city elves more "tribal" than some desert elves, and they've never stepped one foot outside the Labyrinth, let alone Allanak. Tribal does not denote desert origin, it denotes lifestyle. Do you think 'desert-accented sirihish' (or whatever language) sounds better?
Just a thought.
people call those people who live in birth based clans in the desert tribals.
they don't call city elves tribals. ever.
so i think it's fine. City elves may be tribal, as in the adjective, but they can never be "a tribal" the noun.
it's fine. leave it alone.
Plus, desert accented sirihish makes even less sense. Is my non-tribal but desert raised and desert living ranger going to have that accent? no.
The only good alternative to "tribal-accented" would be "bedune-accented."
I could suffer that.
Uh.. Nomadic-Accented?
