If anyone's wondering, Ancient Pistol's accent is my best attempt at the reconstruction of 16th and 17th century English known as Original Pronunciation. This is the closest guess we have as to what Shakespeare originally sounded like. And Ancient Pistol already talks like a weirdo, soooo... it made sense for him to be the odd one out. Originally most of the actors in Shakespeare's plays would have had this accent, but it's hard to have that make sense in modern renditions. Hope you enjoy! Like, comment, and subscribe!
