Slag is a dialect of Thyatian, as used by the merchants in Slagovich. Therefore, it should have some contribution from Traladaran and Espa at least, and it should be based on Latin/Greek (depending on whether Thyatian is Greek or Latin IYC: I use Latin/Italian). If you're really willing to invest some time in the issue, Lingua Franca (a pidgin spoken since the middle age in the mediterranean area) would be a good starting point, though Slag must have some slavic contribution, and a not so large arabic influence: http://www.uwm.edu/~corre/franca/go.html -- Giampaolo Agosta http://digilander.iol.it/agathokles ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 29 Mar 2004 23:25:45 -0800 From: Kar Ess Subject: Re: language question I was wondering if it couldn't be Slavio? http://www.slovio.com/ KS --- Giampaolo Agosta wrote: > Kar Ess wrote: > > > What one real world language is Slag equivalent to? > > Slag is a dialect of Thyatian, as used by the merchants in Slagovich. > Therefore, it should have some contribution from Traladaran and Espa at > least, and it should be based on Latin/Greek (depending on whether > Thyatian is Greek or Latin IYC: I use Latin/Italian). > > If you're really willing to invest some time in the issue, Lingua Franca > (a pidgin spoken since the middle age in the mediterranean area) would > be a good starting point, though Slag must have some slavic > contribution, and a not so large arabic influence: > http://www.uwm.edu/~corre/franca/go.html > -- > > Giampaolo Agosta > > http://digilander.iol.it/agathokles > > ******************************************************************** > The Other Worlds Homepage: http://www.wizards.com/dnd/OtherWorlds.asp > The Mystara Homepage: http://www.dnd.starflung.com/ > To unsubscribe, send email to LISTSERV@ORACLE.WIZARDS.COM > with UNSUB MYSTARA-L in the body of the message. > __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
