 To try to bring the viewers back into the 1600s Guy Perrotta worked  with the actors to avoid standard, "Received Pronunciation" (Queens  English) for the English portrayals. Among the "Mystic Voices" heard  in the film are several accents and dialects used to depict various  speech patterns in the 17th century, including English (East Anglia,  London), colonial Dutch and Native American (Algonquian speaking  tribes).
