As a little joke, all kobolds use the same somatic component: "A alla goja, ho hopi hajata; al heja goja, hoi goi hajata!" (pronounced the German way, with j=y).
Otherwise, it tends to be alluded to, not mimicked. "He loudly incants a nasty-sounding spell" for example, not "ARCHTRAKFZUH!" or whatever other ridiculous jumble of syllables.
I've toyed with the idea that there was a "magic voice", an imitation of the voice of dragons, and that arcane spellcasters had to learn to imitate just that voice -- tone and all. But I ditched the notion because of bards. Though it would have been eerie and uncanny to have all mages have exactly the same alien, raucous voice, regardless of race and sex, when casting spells.
