        Old beijing accent is more piraty.

        I'll suppose the old one is comparable to the New one, like how Irish and Scottish english sounds like to Londoners....

        Speaking of which, what's funny with THEIR Beijing accent, as far as I'm concerned?

          it's just funny to me that the AI voice has any regional bias at all, but I suppose it would have to. They sound like Americans trying to talk with very textbook Beijing/northeast area Chinese.

            Nothing too interesting to me... I mean come on, it'll be like if a person from Guangdong or Beijing spoke in standard Californian or New York English...
