before writing idiotic things...

Post by Stravento » Wed Feb 04, 2009 11:15 am

one of my character is beginning a research on Shaahesk, and he will attempt to learn the rudiments of their language, but before writing idiotic posts I would like to know:

1) do they possess a written language? The wiki doesn't say much on the topic.
2) are there records of books written in Shaahesk in the libraries? Or all the information we have is in common?

thanks!!!

In the absence of a place where a genuine reinvention happens, an honest substitute will be a city that shelters a fiction of the reinvention that never occurred.

Answers!

1) yes, the shaahesk do have a written language, though they don't do a lot of writing... paper rots fast.
2) samples would be rare but available. More common would be books written in common discussing the shaahesk tongue... one would quickly discover that speaking shaahesk requires anatomical qualities humans don't possess, but I'll wait for an IC post before I go into detail
Success will be lovely, but you will have to go out and get it! Failure will invite itself in.
