Some of the voices are in the Native Ashlander dialect. I've used these incredible articles as a guide by Ma'zurah the Khajiit for these voices:
It Begins
Ashlander Language 1: phonemes
Part 2: Adjectives, Adverbs
Bonus: Colours
Also Bonus: Shitposting
Wondrous Love: a Translation and Commentary
The Ashlanders will have some unique responses/greetings as you progress through the main quest. There's also a small quest to learn the language from Yakum Hairshashishi, who can be found in the Halfway Tavern in Pelagiad.
They can be pretty mean to certain races before you get to earn their respect - but the dialogue is consistent with what's written in the original game topics.
Thanks to DeManufactured for the video!
Is this compatible with OpenMW?
Yes! But the Quest to learn Ashlander from Yakum doesn't work. Something about OpenMW's interpretation of the script and measuring time passing.
Is this compatible with Quest Voice Greetings?
Absolutely!
Why isn't this part of Quest Voice Greetings?
Because it's straying a little too far from the original remit of that mod.
What were the "original" Ashlander voices?
It's a little misleading as a question, because the original Ashlander voices were kinda jumbled up. Beth clearly picked random recordings for them, for the most part - sometimes something they say at high disposition (ie - Under sun and sky, outlander, we greet you warmly) - is something the default Dunmer say lower down. So these were never recorded with the intention of being 'Ashlander' voices, that I can tell.
In general, the only pattern I can discern is that Beth wanted them to be a little more hostile at 50-60 disposition than normal Dunmer, similar to the way they set up the Redoran voices. I think this works well when translated to the Telvanni - it basically means the Telvanni now have new voice lines AND are meaner than they were before, which suits them well.
