Yeah, I'm thinking that part of his accent, if you use that Equestrian, would include "H" dropping, smearing vowels and "teething" the V and F.
Imagine a relative reading the sample sentences without a pronunciation key, and laying the local color on thick.
Like, a similar accent in English:
Teh samous zocalist, Sassi-uh Shoahz (The famous vocalist, Sapphire Shores)
The vowel smearing: imagine an uneducated person from the Deep South saying "milk" versus a news broadcaster: "Meeeeyulk" vs. "milk." English has a crapton of vowel sounds and we subconsciously use them everywhere.
''We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat
them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''

Indeed! I never thought I'd hit the 300 mark so suddenly, but there it is.
The next thread will be somewhat shorter lived, since when Garrick jumps I'll put that stuff into its own thread.
Pinging Bob! You can go ahead and lock this thread down now.
End of line.
