| − | What about Servitor languages? We know that Goblins (at least near Gildenhome) speak their own language, and Kobolds (again, near Gildenhome) have their bastard tongue. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
| + | Starting fresh! So, if we want to be pretty explicit about the regionalism of the language mechanic, Dwarven and Gnomish should probably get their own names (Gilden springs to mind for Dwarven, but I don't know enough about the Gnomes for a good name for them). Likewise for Servitors, although it might actually make more canonical sense to refer to them as Race Name (regional qualifier), since it's pretty unlikely that any Goodly race that would be contributing to the knowledge on this wiki would care too much about Servitor lexical history (even most Servitors aren't in much position to give a rat's ass, honestly, since they hardly live an existence of leisure). -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]] |
| − | : You'll have to discover those as we go. Orcs, Kobolds, and Goblins/Hobgoblins all have different languages, at the very least. -gm
| + | |
| − | :: Woo! Yeah, I feel like it's a good thing that Servitors are underrepresented in the wiki, almost like it's only the non-Servitor races writing it. I imagine it'd be fun to run a Servitor game and have them use a separate wiki that focuses completely on Servitor things. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]

| − | So, how used are the things in the Prime/Ulan branch? Are they limited mostly to that enormous Siberia-esque expanse, or do they get some actual use on the mainland? -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]

| − | : Virtually no use on the mainland. Refugees, exiles, and expats only. -gm

| − | Fun fact: The Russian language's grammatical structure has barely changed in the last two thousand years. I'm picturing Odessan as being something like that, with the Ubrekti branch coming off (as you've mentioned) as more like the Latinate languages. The Ulan is probably exceedingly interesting; since it's still a largely isolated and wild area, there might even be languages that nobody in the Northern world has even heard.-[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
| + | ---- |
| − | : Wow, that's crazy. That sounds about right. Sad fact is, for people like the Celstians, Odessans, and Fresians, no one knows much about their origins thanks to the ruthlessness of the Ubrekti Empire's war and cultural obliteration. -gm
| + | Old stuff killed. History for details. -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]] 11:56, 30 November 2010 (EST) |
| − | :: Oh? So Celesti is a monotype, and not part of the Ubrekti subfamily? -[[User:Slitherrr|Slitherrr]]
| + | |
| − | ::: Oh, sure it is. I expect most the Ubrekti languages are blends of Old Ubrekti and whatever language the barbarian peoples spoke before the Ubrekti came in. Some people, like the Odessans and Fresians, did not "Ubrektize" as much as others. -gm
