One would think so, yes. But if you noticed there was an equal amount of bitching about the languages in AOK as we can even 'hope' to get here.
It went from the obvious "What does they say?" to the "OMG why does the Byzantines speak Italian?!?!?!" "No they don't." "Yes they do." ect ect... Tell me why should CA ever create something that doesn't add much in terms of sales or immertion into te game, yet can be highly confusing? (when we talk one language like in STW it can be done with ease)
Accents are much better in that department, granted it doesn't seem they have been made very well, but that is another point entirely (I do like the way "Barbarian Mercenaries" is said).
