The Seanchan would like a slowly drawled word.

Imperial conquerors from across the sea with slave sorceresses and Texan accents.

Wheel of Time is top tier.

Careful what you wish for. I believe it’s in the first book* of Wheel of Time that suddenly there's a group of "darkfriends"** (basically worshippers of the ultimate evil) who all speak in a dialect that sounds like they're from rural Georgia.

Even with Rosamund Pike doing a fantastic job reading the audio book, that was immersion breaking as fuck 😂

*Second book

** not all darkfriends, see reply below

the seanchan are described as having a drawl, but you're not introduced to them until book2 and they're not uniformly darkfriends.

British Scottish Welsh (Irish is complicated)?

I have English being conflated with British but never the other way round.

I have no idea how I feel about this
