Languages of Golarion?

[Yqatuba]

What would the various languages in Golarion sound like? I always thought
:
Celestial- Hebrew
Common- English (or whatever the group's native language is)
Draconic- Latin
Dwarven- Old Norse
Elven- French
Slyvan: Gaelic

not sure for the rest.

[Gorbacz]

Celestial - Aramaic
Common - French (c'est Taldane, vous bastards!)
Draconic - Klaatu Baradaa Niktooo
Dwarven - a mix of Hebrew, Celtic and Old Norse
Elven - Tolkien's modern Elvish, duh
Sylvan - Tokien's ancient Elvish, double duh

[Peachbottom]

Totally personal, so no basis on anything else:

Common: English
Elven: Japanese
Dwarven: Russian
Halfling: Spanish
Gnomish: Hindi
Slyvan: Celtic
Undercommon: Chinese
Giant: Greek

Most of the monsterous languages would be less decipherable to the human tongue and wouldn't be comparable to a real-world language.

[Archpaladin Zousha]

In the Rise of the Runelords game I'm in, we use the following substitutions for languages we've encountered:

Thassilonian -> Tajik
Aklo -> Khmer
Infernal -> Persian
Goblin -> Czech

[Yqatuba]

I think Aklo wouldn't sound like any real world language. Or maybe like some made up language like Klingon (ok, all languages are made up but you get my point), since it's supposed to be a weird language for aberrations and the like.

[KahnyaGnorc]

I would think Aklo would be Lovecraftian...

Elven and Sylvan, maybe Sanskrit? It is a soft, flowing language that is almost-musical even when just spoken. It is also ancient. (with Elven being an off-shoot of Sylvan)

[Daw]

If sylvan and elvish are going tolkeinian, wouldn't Aklo be blackspeech?

Aklo is by definition Lovecraftian, so can you see the elder sign on the walls of Gondor?

[Edward the Necromancer]

Common - which is I think is technically Chelix, which is kind of a sudo Rome, so Italian

Dwarvish - Scottish and/or Irish

Elvish - probably French, maybe Spanish depending on the accent

Halfling - Gypsies, so Romani

Orc/Goblin - German

Draconic - Latin

All of the Outsider/Elemental/Planar languages would be spoken by creatures alien to mortal life so applying an accent to them would be pointless.

[Simeon]

I see Taldor as being a bit like decaying imperial Spain, so I’d probably use Spanish for Common. Here’s some others.

Draconic -> Mongolian
Goblin -> Maltese
Skald -> Old Norse (Duh)
Elven -> Welsh
Dwarven -> Scots Gaelic

[PossibleCabbage]

Common- Esperanto
Dwarvish- Klingon
Elvish- Simlish
Draconic- Gargish
Sylvan- Nadsat
