So
France
Britain
Spain
Prussia
Austria
Portugal
These are for sure. |
I wonder who does know about history. The Austrians didn't have that much to do with the colonization of the New World...
Those who did were these:
Spain
Britain
France
Portugal
Netherlands
Sweden
Denmark
Russia (only some trading posts along the NW part, no contact or interaction with the others though)

It would probably be fake Dutch
the units of AOEII mainly spoke fake languages as well.

Then I'd be even more delighted to hear 
But did they really? I thought they just picked some modern languages instead of the authentical ones, but still real ones (spanish, turkish, chinese, japanese), for what I can remember the Teutons sounded more authentical, and the Vikings did at least have some old norse (fiskr-mar etc ).
However, maybe they will all be dead silent like in Rise of Nations

The Teutonic/Gothic one was weird. It sounded German, and some things
were somewhat recognizeable (Bereite, Das ich soll) but other things
weren't. Perhaps it was Old German or so).
The Franks just spoke Franglish (Fisheo, Mineo).
The British spoke a very weird language as well ("Ik willem"?)
The Aztecs spoke outright nonsense ("Bantilwong"?)
The Spanish was indeed authentical.
However, maybe they will all be dead silent like in Rise of Nations  |
That would be a shame, but I don't think they will.

Ah, the Teuton vocals went for the Goths as well? Then that at least is clearly wrong. Strange, because it's not hard at all to find out about Gothic as it's the only East Germanic language.
I also recall (for as far as I can tell) AOM had some not so convincing voice acting. I wonder why they do it like that, they might as well pick a modern native and hardly anyone would notice the difference, so why they come up with fakes...

It wa supposed to be Olde English, I presume.
The Vikings spoke Icelandic, and iirc it was quite good too.
