Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
Hey, I need to get some use out of my 4 years of High School Latin!
I agree with the blog comment that Greek is an excellent choice Due to many years of watching anime I've used Japanese for stuff on occasion I am really amazed! Either I failed at reading or you didn't include any Native American languages on the list |

Actually that's a good point. I know a little Tsalagi (Cherokee) - and I mean a little, but it's current form is mostly a synthetic construction from the 1800s if memory serves. I know some of the older forms of Dine might be a good place to start...as might some of the Mesoamerican tongues. Hmmm. I'll dig into that when I've a clearer head about me.

Proto-Indo-European, the ancestor of Greek, Latin, Sanskrit, etc.
Proto-Celtic, because Celtic mysticism is always popular. Klingon, because we all respect Sheldon Cooper.

Re: Ravens N' Pennies - GURPS Content Posts
I'm a little surprised that there was no mention of Hebrew, "the language that God spoke". Classic Maya Language would be nice for a campaign set in the New World. After all, they predicted the End of the World, didn't they? They didn't get it right, but at least they tried.

Welp. That's it. Shut 'er down everybody. We're not getting geekier than Beltane Birds of Prey.

I like what you are saying here: use something specific that fits the context rather than defaulting to "whatever is cool/popular" or "find something 'different'." |
