I'd like to hear more.  Explain to me.

Comments

[missmimmi]

..Hear more?

[weifengyiyu]

Naam, I'm curious. Where y're from, what y'speak.

[missmimmi]

Oh, ah...

[Yes, let's befriend the evil murderer, yeup]

I am from the country of Germany. I speak.. German.

[weifengyiyu]

Germany. Hmm ...

Y're from Earth? There's a lotta Earth-iyyah on board, so many from one place.

[ttlyisabard]

Languages? Well, what I speak is called "Krellish," but it seems identical to the language most people speak here.

I also speak elvish, dwarven, and triton. Um, Ace spoke a language that sounded a lot like elvish, and I've heard a young girl say some words that sounded like dwarven.

[weifengyiyu]

Elbish?

Y'prefer Krellish?

[ttlyisabard]

Krellish is my natural language. My I learned elvish to read traditional stories to a friend, but I only recently learned the other two.

Elvish sounds beautiful, but it is very difficult to write.

[weifengyiyu]

Y'write too?

[Meifeng sounds impressed.]

[lilyground]

I can speak Afrikaans.

[weifengyiyu]

Ezf -- Ez ...

...

[That is impossible to pronounce, Lily.]

It sounds difficult.

[lilyground]

[A-fri-kaans!]

It's not, it's real easy. B taught me.

[shenghuanzhe]

Y'speak Sinn?

[weifengyiyu]

Laa. Al-Hebb only.

[She sounds surprised.]

Y'do?

[shenghuanzhe]

Yeah. Spent some time in Sinna, learned how t'speak it.

[He grins.]

Lotsa Sinn in Barneo and New Pointe City, too, not so many in Iquailut.

[weifengyiyu]

Y'surprise me. What else did'ya learn?

[She pauses to stretch, it's her first break since she started working as crew.]

So does th'great man ever give y'time off?

[ttlynotawizard]

I apparently speak what most on this ship do. Common? English? Whatever it's called.

I also speak Ancient, but that's dead and useless, so...

Oh! I've been learning Japanese.

[weifengyiyu]

Atch-ch-ch-ch, y'sound like a scholar.

Y'like learnin' more?

[ttlynotawizard]

Well, I'm educated, but not anything close to being a scholar. Kind of had to learn Ancient. Japanese was for lack of anything better to do around here some days.

Well, yeah...a different form of communication. Can't say it doesn't interest me.

Why do you ask?

[weifengyiyu]

Education's expensive. Y'write too?

I'm curious. Al-Hebb's very different, I'm findin'.
