    what are they like ethnically speaking? i know they are darker skinned, but the book says they have a specific accent. i guess i was just wondering about how they will be portrayed in the show even though that's years away.

    maybe middle eastern, except the women are supposedly really hot. so maybe south american.

    i mean they speak the "common tongue" so their accents can't be that exotic sounding, right?

    kind of hard to translate text into sound, you'll probably have to wait til the show (really hope it makes it that long)

    In the 4th book it describes someone as having a "Dornish drawl." So do they have southern accents?

    Moroccan is probably a good comparison for some of the Dornish especially the desert and coastal ones. The ones in the Mountains are supposed to me more aryan looking.
