My last DM got mad at me and almost kicked me out of the group because I wanted to create a rogue mage warrior priest with a backstory that he was a mexican immigrant names Jose.

Actually Draconic is Spanish cuz Celestial is Latin, and Elvish is French cuz they snooty (also a romance language). Dwarves can be Portuguese, as a little treat :3

spanish is draconic? i thought we all agreed that draconic is german
edit: also as a brazilian, portuguese is too goofy for abyssal

In the game I'm playing, goblins have thick New York accents. If my creepy-ass lizard person dies, I might switch to that, or a Nordic elf with a thick Swedish accent.

Gnomish should be more artificial. Esperanto.

And because of this José always feels a bit left out, so he's always eager to do something useful even if it's just casting mage light (which is one of the few spells he can wrap his head around).
He's also just generally a really nice guy and he's great at mundane things like cooking and he doesn't complain, so he doesn't quite realize that his party is being pretty mean and taking advantage of him. But over time the others just can't help but start considering him a close friend and he becomes a vital part of the team. -
