Why does Voq/Ash say 'Kahlesh' like Sean Connery?

Maybe. Or he has a different accent than most Klingons. Like Sean Connery.
It's supposed to be his Voq accent. He says Kronosh the same way.
Klingon accent = talking as though you have a mouth full of fake pointy teeth and a jaw smooshed by latex.
I actually like it.

It's actually the correct way to pronounce it, according to the guy who created the Klingon language.
Kahless = qeylIS

[ʂ] A sound somewhat like an English “sh,” but made farther back. Put your tongue where you did for the Klingon D, but don’t quite touch the roof of your mouth. Make an “s” sound with your tongue up there.
TNG and other series really dropped the ball on the spoken Klingon. Both the actors who played Voq and L'Rell had a Klingon coach and you will notice they both pronounce it Kahlesh not Kahless. Even T'Kuvma says Kahlesh, although it's a bit more subtle. Most likely all the actors playing Klingons who had lines in DSC were coached in the proper pronunciation. I dig it, but it might sound jarring if you're used to the sloppy way from other shows.

Hey, it's a large planet. It's already unrealistic the whole planet speaks just 1 Klingon language, look how many languages are on Earth.
Haven't I already answered this a couple of weeks ago? And back in season one at least three times?

Wait 'til you hear Tyler say "The pen is mightier".
In the Enterprise pilot, Archer informed Hoshi that Klingons had something like 80 different dialects.
Well, Star Trek (every iteration) has been king of the "Planet full of single-culture, homogeneous inhabitants", so why change it now?
I would've liked to hear him say:
"Let my armies be the rocks and the trees and the birds in the sky."
You've never heard Charlemagne until you've heard him in the original Klingon! *
*Because Charlemagne never said that.

You're not a real Klingon unless you're speaking it in the original Connery.
A lot of planets have a north.
