Hmm, interesting. I do want to agree that Men and Mer alike are able to learn with practice, but all sources I've come across only show Nords having been able to, though typical because it's something very few people have been able to know ;p

Ebony Warrior was the first person who sparked this topic up for me ;p After finding a link on him on another board they say EW is just a NPC-PC who was given Redguard for the stats and skin color (not sure why), but it does make sense since when you kill him, he awaits Sovngarde, in which I think only Nords and Dragonborn are able to go to. Further sources to this was how the Falmer (in Dawnguard DLC) are characterized as Altmer in the game files.
