DICTIONARY « Thread Started on Mar 16, 2007, 11:35am »
Here is the dictionary. It is currently in the making, so please bare with me. If you have any word suggestions, PM me, Raema. How this works, basically, is that each tribe will have its own section in the dictionary. Some words will be shared between tribes, and many words will be very simular. Most of the tribe languages are based of Rakio language, because the Rakio were the first people to settle in Raikor. You are not expected to speak in this language. Just using a word here and there can be kinda interesting, and fun. Everyone can speak in english when their characters are speaking, but you are more than welcomed to throw in a tribal word here and there. REMEMBER. when your character is talking to another character in a different tribe, they WILL NOT understand each other perfectly. Unless, of course, one of those characters knows the other characters language.
