Can Barrayaran and Betan accents be approximated to any existing accents or have you imagined them as something unique?

The reader can suit themselves, but I imagine Betan accents as rather American Midwestern, and Barrayaran as a sort of British actor doing stage Russian.
More realistically, one may imagine them as future English translated into current English, the way we routinely treat languages in fantasy worlds.

Not a question but a huge thank you. Since lockdown began I have been rereading as much of the Vorkosigan saga as I could lay my hands on. Between Amazon, Baen, the local library electronic downloads, and copies I already owned, I think I have reread them all, not necessarily in order and some for the 3rd time, and they have provided wonderful escape when the news became too dreary. Any more Miles adventures coming?
