Sload Language

Post by Anonymous »

Right well the only sload book in Morrowind is 'N'Gasta Kvasta Kvatch!' which is just an email about a newsletter. Someone at TIL cracked the Sload Code and this is how to do it:

Step 1:

Translate your text into X-System Esperanto. You can either learn Esperanto and do it yourself or just use a translator like http://ttt.kafejo.com/lingvoj/auxlangs/eo/tradukilo/

You may have to remove some words all together. To find which specific word you want from the options use a grammar guide...you should find something here http://www.esperanto.net/
http://www.wordgumbo.com/ar/esp/

Step 2:

Change some syllables as shown here: http://www.til.gamingsource.net/dogate/ngasta.shtml

e->ahk
aux->oix
la-> so (sometimes substituted in the middle of words)
oj->auw (word endings)
si->jhe

'de' must be removed


Here is a sample sentence:

I can talk like a worm man
[this] one can talk like [a] worm man
oni poti paroli similia vermoviro
oni poti paroli jhemisoa vermoviro

Now I posted this in the lore forum because I thought this would be a pretty big thing to add. Also there could be more grammar to add to make it sound more authentic. Well, what do you lot think.

Note: If you want to sound like how i think a sload sounds then try croaking from the bottom of your throat and say the words 'Kiahk ahkstas la nahkcahksahkjo'. It will sound really wierd and like you seem to be talking backwards. I have attached a sound byte of me saying this. Try it. It will come in handy if you are ever in the reefs where the sload live and need to ask where the toilet is.

Other useful phrases:

Die! Mortu!
Outlander Frakhmdulo
Airship sxipo-dahkakhro
slave Ssoavo
Red Mountain Rugxa Monto

And no Savant I can't but its on my to do list :P

EDIT: Sload also seem to use 'this one' rather than 'I'

http://til.gamingsource.net/tsorg/part05.shtml#N'Gasta

This changes 'mi' to 'oni' which I think fits better.
